algol13

Answer:

If you’ve never seen the ocean, you’ve missed a great experience. As you scan the horizon, the expanse of sparkling deep blue water extends to the azure sky. As you approach the shoreline, you feel the fine cool mist driven by the breeze as waves crash loudly on the gritty sand. Mounds of water form as if by magic, donning bubbly caps of white as they grow taller, curling as they race toward the beach. If you are on the Pacific coast at sunset, and there are a few clouds near the horizon, you will enjoy a spectacle of light and color as the reddening sun paints the clouds in hues of gold, crimson, and scarlet as it dips below the edge of the water, and purple dusk settles over the scene.

Explanation:

There is an example. I tried to incorporate images with shapes and colors,  feeling, and movement.

I hope it helps!
