Yin and Yang

A beautiful day at the beach yesterday afternoon....

temperature a bearable +2C

with a brisk breeze 

and the sun bouncing on the ocean.

A lone seagull floated by.....riding a zephyr 

and  reflecting the sun's rays......

very tranquil.

A few minutes later another 'sky creature'........

this one much more demanding and noticeable,

known as a Sea-King Helicopter.

It had been doing 'training exercises' down the shore a bit 

and was heading home to Canadian Forces Air Base Shearwater

which is located in Dartmouth (the city across the harbour from Halifax). 

Upon closer inspection one can see

three airmen airing out their laundry!!?

'Yin and yang' is a concept in Chinese philosophy which describes

opposite forces that are interconnected in our natural world.
