Underwater wahines

by Andrew Norton

Above the water: young women surfers (wahines), slide across the waves with a grace that contrasts the crashing waves and rowdy crowds.

Below the water: wahines peacefully slip through the sea like mythical mermaids.

I hope these serene snapshots grant you a moment of tranquility in a noisy world.

    These are absolutely beautiful and stunning photos of what you term as wahines and what I see as angels underwater.
