Having grown up in the Bay Area, I am used to the smell of the Pacific. I found myself shocked a few years ago when I discovered that the Atlantic had its own beachy scent.

It sure looks as beautiful.Dawn Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065998860801658132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-6115515033882209132010-02-15T06:39:19.813-05:002010-02-15T06:39:19.813-05:00Sarah

The rhythmic beat of waves and the sight of a silent beach are deeply soothing.<br /><br />This reminds me of Indian musicians I've happened to see play an ancient musical instrument called the <i>Jal Tarang</i>. <i>Jal</i> is Hindi for water.<br /><br />The musicians use containers of different specifications, and sometimes alloys even, before filling it up with water, to different levels, and then play the components to create waves in the stored water that modify the sounds to melodious musical notes.<br /><br />The bowls of water used in <i>Jal Tarang</i> by a single musician can exceed 15, requiring much skill, with the musician often stirring the water quickly in specific bowls during his performance. <br /><br />However I do not see <i>Jal Tarang</i> as widely practiced in India as say the <i>Tabla</i> or the <i>Sitar</i> among others. One reason could be that the <i>Tabla</i> and the <i>Sitar</i> among others serve as accompaniments during Vocal recitals, something the <i>Jal Tarang</i> is not much used in, except maybe in some attempted fusion music. It's mostly seen in live solo performances on stage.Anil Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422187314611747278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-27112136137932814882010-02-11T18:53:38.367-05:002010-02-11T18:53:38.367-05:00Your photos made me take a big, deep breath.

I’m a bit wary of swimming in big waves, especially at Reid. I enjoy swimming in calm seas and love walking on a beach best of all.<br /><br />Cid, wouldn’t it have been funny if we’d been at Reid at the same time? In the summer, I usually go to Popham Beach instead which is a little closer and less buggy. It has a 3-mile beach. Reid is better with little kids since it has a warm lagoon and a snack bar. We used to go with our playgroup. In the winter I walk at Reid when the tide is too high at Popham.<br /><br />David, I’d love to hear your reaction to Rob’s music. I tried but failed to embed a sound clip on my blog. It’s not up on YouTube. <br /><br />ACIL, I’m a water sign too. It fits. Blogging about music made me think of you.<br /><br />Pamela, it is cold, especially with the wind blowing, but I do hunger for the sound of the sea. <br /><br />Lakeviewer, I love the ocean shots on you blog.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-75222799929602278432010-02-10T12:19:15.727-05:002010-02-10T12:19:15.727-05:00Lovely pictures, Sarah.
