June 8th was world oceans day, http://worldoceansday.org/ and Ailsa decided it would be the perfect topic for her weekly travel theme. I’m posting this photo not because it is remarkable in itself but because being there had such an impact on me personally. It’s Ghana’s Axim beach and truly beautiful. When I stood there I realised that there was no land fall between me and the South Pole, a strange feeling. I don’t know the distance but from the Golf of Guinea, the South Atlantic and the Southern Ocean to Antarctica a vastness opens up. Checking a map there are some minute islands hundreds of miles west, but that’s it. You probably think I’m crazy now but it was very odd at the time!
