5 reasons - though come to think of it there should be 5 more!
Reason number 1:
It's mans last great wilderness, we can pollute it & kill the life yes - but not all of it - it cannot be managed however hard we try & we can't control it!
Reason number 2:
It's the colour blue - my favourite colour - ok the colour is reflected from the sky, but still!
Reason number 3:
Every part of the sea is special, every cliff face, every wave is unique, so every photo I take is different - you can't get the same photo - the light is different, the wind blows in different directions - basically the sea in any which way is an individual so kind of links up with reason number 1 there lol
Reason number 4:
It's my one subject I love out of ALL to paint - I use the sand mixed with paint from the very beaches I walk across to view the sea - it has my usual straight horizon line that are depicted in my paintings so often - although the photos below are not straight only because the wind was so strong, could not keep the camera straight!
Reason number 5:
Living in London, all I had was the Channel or the North Sea further up - but here in Devon I have the rolling waves of the Atlantic, I have the gliding Gannets over the waves & the crying kittiwakes - the sea wildlife is so important & the coast of North Devon is incredibly important place, rich in it's life & diversity of all things wild!
This is Crookhaven beach in Bude, Cornwall - clean? Well no not really - but still beautiful!
