September 30, 2017 / 42.918167, 17.199889 / Breathing Water Cave / Not so far from the lighthouse there is my special sonic place, the 'breathing water cave'! / I discovered it by chance once when I jumped in the water fishing for sea urchins / It scared me so much that I screamed, thinking it was a monster sneaking behind me / It is small and narrow underwater passage constantly refilled by waves and streams – with this tiny invisible hole in it that produces breathing like sounds / I could sit there for hours listening to it //
