Aberystwyth is a small sea-side resort in the county of Ceredigion on the west coast of Wales.
Although a thriving sea-side town in the summer, the historic town of Aberystwyth is better known as a university town and the centre of learning for Wales, as it is also home to the National Library of Wales and boasts the largest Arts Centre in Wales.
Drumbeg is reached via on the remarkably beautiful Assynt coastal road, the B869. This single track road provides a scenic link between Lochinver and Kylesku, and takes in some of Scotland's best scenery.
The village itself itself lies on the north facing coast of Assynt, looking out across Eddrachillis Bay to Handa Island and mainland Sutherland. A viewpoint with a car park has been constructed at the west end of village and from here you can take in the magnificent seascapes to the north.
Does anyone else have thousands of photos sitting on their computer's hard disk that have never seen the light of day? I've been cleaning up my archives and thought I might let one out every now & again. They are great for bringing back memories. Thanks for indulging me strolling down memory lane.
This was taken from Hill Inlet looking over the unbelievable paradise that is Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsunday Islands, Queensland. The water is really that amazing colour and the silica sand so incredibly white & fine. Google Hill Inlet Whitehaven & your screen will fill images like this one. Impossible to take a bad photo there! And yes, it's the same place as the pic that has been my profile background all this time.
This was on a daytrip out from a cruise with couple of dozen friends for a mate's 50th & brings back lots of fun memories :)) This day of being jolted along on an ocean raft travelling at knots while hungover. And hundreds of fish swimming between your legs in the shallows at Whitehaven trying to get breadcrumbs you have thrown in to try and get some underwater pics with your GoPro. And the amazing snorkelling. Okay I'm stopping now, need to book a cruise to Whitehaven ;)
Happy Humpday!
So here is a wave. It makes me think of vending machines. Why you ask? Glad you asked. A wave is, naturally, found around oceans. Sharks also live in the ocean. Most people have a fear of being eaten by sharks. Do you know that you are twice as likely to killed by a vending machine accident (probably shaking them to try and get that darn chocolate out stuck just at the edge) than a shark attack. So don't worry about harmless old sharks, watch those deadly vending machines! You are welcome :)
While browsing through the old photos on my phone, I came across some wonderful memories from my visit to Perun Mountain at the start of last year. I strolled along the narrow paths of this lesser-known mountain, a sibling to the more famous Mosor Mountain, in search of tranquility amidst the bustling city of Split, which was clearly visible from my vantage point in the picture. It was truly a moment of discovery. I ventured deep into the cold winter night, yet my heart yearned to linger near the quaint St. George's Chapel. I promise myself to return there in the near future.
Beneath a vast Nordic sky, the rugged granite shores of Styrsö melt into the shimmering blue of Sweden's coastline. Crimson rooftops peek through emerald trees, their colors echoing the warmth of a summer village waking to the gentle hush of the archipelago. From the heights of Stora Rös, every glen reveals a tapestry of sea, stone, and serenity—a timeless Swedish landscape where land and water embrace in perfect harmony.
I truly appreciate every view, favorite, and thoughtful comment you share. Your support inspires me to continue exploring and capturing moments like this. Thank you for being an important part of my photography journey.
Just had to post again, a shot from today. Spring has arrived! It finally feels it, so I made my way out to one of my favourite spots in Munmorah State Conservation Area. This view looks across Frazer Beach from Bongong Beach.
The weather was perfect - warm air, a gentle breeze, flannel flowers just starting to wake up, the scrubby coastal vegetation fragrant, the water glowing in spring aquamarine, rockpools glistening near high tide, and clouds drifting lazily across the sky. Everything felt alive. Especially after a cold and extremely wet winter.
As a bonus, when I got home, I discovered our Clivias (& dandelions ;) in bloom. Laid about taking some macro photography to offset the hundreds of landscape pics I took!
Yay for spring in the southern hemisphere!
Thanks for any comments, they are always greatly appreciated.
Waterscape 76/100 for 2025
Aberdyfi, one of Southern Snowdonia's most attractive coastal villages, stands in a stunning location where mountains meet the sea at the mouth of the River Dyfi.
Aberdyfi used to be a working port but today the sailing craft concentrate on leisure and pleasure. Aberdyfi is a busy sailing and watersports centre.
The arrival of the railway in 1864 signalled the beginning of the end for shipping and shipbuilding. By 1905 only one locally built ship remained, The railway opened up a new part of Aberdovey’s history, that of tourism,
Constitution Hill is a hill in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth, situated to the north of the town.
The hill overlooks Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion, Wales, running between the town and the coastal settlements of Borth and Clarach bay to the north. The site provides good views of the Aberystwyth area and the sightline extends as far as Snowdonia National Park and north Pembrokeshire.
Since 1896, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has ascended to the hill's summit, and the summit features a camera obscura, which is a 1980s rebuild of a Victorian era building which was erected as part of the "Luna Park" recreation area.
At its peak runs the Clarach Footpath on the Wales Coast Path, which connects the town of Aberystwyth with Clarach Bay and Borth. The hill itself is often referred to as "Consti" by locals.[

We are in for a very wet weekend over here with over 60mm of rain expected on Sunday. The clouds started rolling in today so was perfect for a visit to Norah Head Beach. Those sand dunes in the distance are my fave Pebbly Beach, the photo I posted two days ago looking towards where I was today. It was fun scrambling through the weeds in the very low tide to capturing all the colours of the weeds and rockpools. Though I must remember to wear joggers with some tread on them next time ;)
This was 3 bracketed exposures merged to produce the HDR image.

One of my favourite personal 'finds' on our various trips to Scotland, a photographers dream to stand here and take some photos of this landscape.

This isn't exactly Putty Beach but on the coastal walk from Putty Beach around to the next beach, Bullimah Beach. The Bouddi coastal walk is a fantastic 8km walk within national park, following the ocean most of the way. You can pop down to no less than five beaches on the walk.
I love all the different type of rock types along the walk, especially all the different patterns in the sandstone rocks.
Getting my coast hit in before heading outback camping at the end of the week, swapping the beach for the bush :)
Old Town Beach, Hastings, East Sussex. United Kingdom. I took this photo while walking the beach in Hastings.
Beaches of the Central Coast
Two of the beaches I haven’t visited that were on my list were #38 Jenny Dixon Beach & #39 Hargreaves Beach. This is kinda half way, well the start of half way where there is a wee little tiny secluded beach. Might have to post it next. It’s was a very challenging rock climb and scramble to get there and when there a drop down to the beach , but no way back up so I thought better of it, didn’t have my grappling hooks with me 😂 Anyway I really liked this rock formation , and enjoyed the outing immensely 👍😀
Today’s fun fact: Australia has more than 10,000 beaches. And if you decide to visit a new beach every day, it will take more than 27 years of your lifetime. I guess I’d better get started , and quickly 😉. Happy weekend everyone !
Llico Bajo es una pequeña localidad costera ubicada a unos 100 kms al oeste de la ciudad de Puerto Varas junto a la desembocadura del rio Llico. La zona costera de esta region es muy poco habitada de dificil acceso cubierta en su mayor parte por extensos bosques nativos que se descuelgan hasta el mar. Su abrupta costa esta conformada por grandes acantilados y formidables formaciones rocosas que dan espacio a pequeñas playas siempre golpeadas por los fuertes vientos provenientes del mar de gran atractivo para cualquier aficionado a la fotografia buscando nuevos escenarios y paisajes.

Llico Bajo is a small coastal town located about 100 kms west from the city of Puerto Varas at the mouth of the river Llico. The coastal area of this region is very low populated mostly difficult to reach covered by extensive native forests that hook to the sea. Its rugged coastline is formed by high cliffs and stunning rock formations that give space to small beaches always struck by the strong winds from the sea a great attraction for any photography enthusiast looking for new sceneries.
New Zealand may be known as Aotearoa, “the land of the long white cloud,” but after seeing many scenes like this while there, I think they missed the memo. It should be called the land of the long blue water. The seascapes were blue-tiful.
The Bay of Islands served up every shade of blue imaginable - from deep navy to sky-blue. It was hard not to feel blue, in the best possible blue-minded, blue-hearted way. It was so blue-nique I almost started blue-thering on about it to strangers on the boat.
But I’ll stop before I blue-plode. Let’s just say the view was blue-mptuous, blue-mazing, blue-lightful, and I was totally blue-tifully overwhelmed by the whole thing.
If you ever need a place to stop feeling blue, this is the spot.
Hope everyone's week is going well. Thanks as always for stopping by — your visits and comments are truly appreciated!
