"The intensity of the ever-changing light and the inescapable presentness of the weather."
Reading more of Roni Horn and feeling ones actions dictated by weather.
"The weather rules all around as well as deep inside".
However, a sense of not wanting to be at the mercy of it - not bad weather, only inappropriate clothing we say in Scotland - but the weather is not the same there. Reading stories of people´s weather experiences in Weather Reports You. I have never felt scared or threatened by the weather or particularly by the sea, but yesterday I climbed down a steep incline to get next to the sea, to be on the beach. But the waves were incredibly powerful, had such a sense of their own rhythm - I scared myself and scrambled up back to the road and sat and looked back down, it seeming much more calm than when close up. All the stories of people being lost at sea and suddenly caught in storms and crazy weather have given me more respect for these things out with our control.
On a calmer day.
