Recently, when we went for a sunrise walk on our home beach in Sri Lanka, there was a bicycle standing all alone. It made a good subject.
Two fishermen have pulled their narrow outrigger boat onto the sand with their combined forces. Now they have to get rid of the catch immediately, because the fish don't last long in this heat. I photographed the scene on Mawella Beach in the south of Sri Lanka with a drone from a height of almost 10 metres.
This picture was taken at sunset in Port Bruce, Ontario, Canada. It was a very cloudy evening. Which was perfect for photography. Please leave a comment and view in Lightbox.

The beach here is paradisiacal and almost deserted. Is that good or bad? The tourists are concentrated on two or three beaches a little north of here. There is a lot going on and one beach restaurant follows the next. Some BnBs and beach restaurants try their luck here, but the few tourists hardly fill the coffers. Often there is barely enough to cover the cost price. Sometimes you wish there was a bit more activity here. But only a little!
Groynes reduce longshore transport by trapping beach material and causing the beach orientation to change relative to the dominant wave directions. They mainly influence bedload transport and are most effective on shingle or gravel beaches. Sand is carried in temporary suspension during higher energy wave or current conditions and will therefore tend to be carried over or around any cross-shore structures. Groynes can also be used successfully in estuaries to alter nearshore tidal flow patterns.
I am not running out of bird photos but I am running out of time and I need to complete some projects before year-end. So I will not be as active on Flickr over the next little while. I will continue to watch from time to time for those great images you post but I may not be in a position to comment as actively as usual... Thank you so much for the overwhelming interest and support in my photography..... I look forward to your future wonderful postings.

This Sri Lankan fisherman is waiting for his buddies to help him push the boat into the water. He is happy that I am taking his picture, because he is proud of himself, his boat and his profession.
Haven't we all wanted to do exactly this? Look back to a warmer, more beautiful time in the past? If only we had that magic mirror...or maybe just a dream....

Someone put all these beach stones, sticks, feather into a piece of bark on our local beach and set it on a flat rock. It was like a wonderful fall table setting, maybe for a beach picnic. It may well have bee put together by some kids, but it was really beautiful.
Our home beach in Sri Lanka - Mawella Beach - has many faces, depending on the time of day, light and weather. If the theme is "Paint it Black!", Mawella Beach can also be painted black.
Due to the fact that the wind comes almost from West, the waves become the same direction, from W to E, and wash the sand away
To stop/make less this washout effect, to break the stronght of the waves - that's the reason of this pillars. In the northern part of Zeeland there are beaches , many km long, and there are this pillars, always two lines together, repeating so about 500m. Depending from tide/low tide you can see 2,0m or nothing from them.
Westkapelle (51°32′N, 3°26′E) is a village in the municipality of Veere on the island Walcheren, in the province Zeeland of the Netherlands. On 1 January 2005, it had a population of 2,671. Westkapelle is on the westernmost tip of Walcheren and is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
Westkapelle is mainly known because of its lighthouse, standing prominently at the entrance to the village. This tower is the remains of a church that burned down in the 18th century. In the 19th century, a light was added to the top so that it could serve as a lighthouse.
When such colourfully dressed people appear and are reflected in a pool of water, it is always worth taking a snapshot. The two straying beach dogs frame the walkers.
Sometimes the rough surf can flood the beach far behind. Then water remains in hollows and pools form on the beach, causing reflections. Between the fishing boat lying on the sand and the reflection of its superstructure is a slightly raised sandbank. Seen like this on Mawella Beach in Sri Lanka.
Even though this beach faces east, we still had some nice sunset color in the sky.

On the beach of Diano Marina, on the Italian Riviera, there is a section for beach volleyball. Sometimes there are even competitions of some kind - Instagram 2020
In the evening, sometimes locals walk across Mawella beach in Sri Lanka. It is very peaceful. One boy has separated himself from the family to enjoy the evening sun alone.

Rhos-on-Sea.
Rhos-on-Sea (Welsh: Llandrillo-yn-Rhos), also known as Rhos or Llandrillo, is a seaside resort , community and electoral ward in Conwy County Borough, Wales. The population was 7,110 in 2001, increasing to 7,593 at the 2011 census. It adjoins Colwyn Bay. It is named after the Welsh kingdom of Rhos established there in late Roman times as a sub-kingdom of Gwynedd, and later became a cantref (hundred).
Perhaps Rhos-on-Sea's greatest claim to fame is that, according to legend, Madog ap Owain Gwynedd, a Welsh prince of Gwynedd, sailed from here in 1170 and discovered America, over three hundred years before Christopher Columbus's famous voyage in 1492. This event is recorded by a plaque on one of the properties on the sea-front. This property is called "Odstone" at no. 179, Marine Drive which, as of June 2012, has become neglected.
