Rower - Moment in Time


A sunlit, cloudless day, with a winking ocean and dimple-faced smiles. Kayaking through the clear, salty sea is a young man and what could be his friends, family or tourist. The island in the background is smothered with green, grassy pastures and high mountains. The searing sun stretches down, mixing with the cold summer breeze that flows across their face.

Abruptly, a fearsome seal ascends from the big blue blanket of water. WHACK!! With that, the water creature smacks the innocent kayaker in the face with a rather large, pink and slimy octopus. As its tentacles thrust across in fast motion, the man uses his oar to protect his face. Salty drops of water splatter across the beaming yellow kayak with blue rubber strips. As he slightly leans over his boat, the seal cheekily descends back into the water. He tries to usher the octopus away with his paddle as it swims near the boat with its annoyingly, long tentacles.

The man is in shock, as he and his friends laugh it off, capturing this “one in a million” occasion, all on camera. He is wearing a black shirt, that looks as if it is made of cotton. A large, black life jacket with a yellow seam down the middle is strapped around him to protect him from drowning if the boat ever tips over.


This is my moment in time where I had to describe the image above.


The day was cloudless, as the floating face of the sun glistened with liveliness. In the distance, was a hill of grassy fields fading to tiny grains of sand that lead to the ocean. The water was a dark blue colour, implying that it was very deep.

Kayaking through the ocean was a man, wearing a light blue hat, floating through the water in a yellow kayak. Strapped around his body was a black life jacket with a yellow seam down the middle. Along with him were a few other people, who could’ve been his friends, family or a group of tourist.  

He and other people were having a good time. Until suddenly, a fearsome seal pounced out of the water and slapped the young man with a medium sized octopus. The seal had a dark grey, fur coat, white whiskers and big, black, beady eyes. The octopus had eight long tentacles with suction cups on each one of them. It was a mixture of pink, orange and brown in colour.

This is my groups collaborative piece of writing where we all input ideas to form one moment in time, describing the same image above.
