Just before the storm

The last feeling of serenity that is about to be lost

At the beginning of January 2020, I was lucky enough to have a short trip to Los Angeles, California. I spent all my free time on the Pacific Coast with only one goal: observing people’s behaviour in a lazy manner. We all came there for the kindness of winter sun and to listen to the sounds of the surf and seagulls chatting, doing nothing and enjoying the present.

But there was something else that we all didn’t realise at that point: it was literally the last days when we weren’t stuck in our homes with phones in our hands reading horrible, frightening news about life and death and new restrictions.

In early January, we all had sun, sand, wind, and birds, which made us appreciate that moment even more.
