The atmosphere and the ocean have long been a source of inspiration for poets, painters, musicians and artists of all kind. From the dark and stormy nights of literature to such diverse music as Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Guns ‘n’ Roses’ November Rain descriptions of the weather add depth and colour to the scene. 

Meanwhile, the ocean, with its many colours and moods, is feted for its beauty and power. It has inspired tales of treacherous seas tamed by heroic explorers and vivid images of warm azure waters in a tropical paradise.

We invite you to be swept up by this inspiration. Spend some time watching the skies or the ocean. Connect with the power and the beauty and channel that into a short story, poem, song, painting or something that captures the essence of what you feel.
