The hotel was inaugurated in 1912. A former courtyard has nowadays a glass roof. Architect: Ludvig Peterson.
A quiet morning at the coast of Burgtiefe, Fehmarn. Thick fog hangs over the shoreline, muting colors and sound, while a lone figure stands by the water’s edge, fishing in solitude. The golden dune grass sways gently in the breeze, blending seamlessly into the stillness of the Baltic Sea. A serene and moody glimpse of nature’s calm moments.

A long disused station on the Strand. Later renamed Aldwych, It was the end of a very short branch line from Holborn. It still exists and is used for equipment tests and for movies: scenes for V For Vendetta, amongst others, were filmed there.
Door Jonathan van den Broeke, Zoutelande
Donderdagavond was er eindelijk weer eens een prachtige zonsondergang te zien aan het strand van Zoutelande.
After parking the car it was a short walk downhill to Traigh Mangarstadh (Mangersta) to watch the surf roll in. As I explored the rock formations along the southern end of the beach, I came upon these rocks. When I came behind the seaweed covered rocks, the angle of the sunlight turned the strands of draped seaweed into strands of gold.
Traigh Mangarstadh (Mangersta) is located on the B8011 on the western coast of the Isle of Lewis.
Strandings
All that in its gilled or spiracled lunglessness
gasps for water and chokes on sand
or drowns in clagging air - all that blues
the sand with dying stings, or flakes
its shell on the abrasiveness of sand -
all that sand claims by the bleaching
sovereignties of wind and brine, or that submits
its softer underside to the needling silicons
of sand - all that flails against sand,
all that, in dying, dries out, refines,
itself becomes sand - is kin to me. I am one
in several thousand strandings with a waning
iridescence, strangled, scorched and sighing
blear-eyed through these crusts of drying sand.
Poem by Giles Watson, 2013. The picture shows a Portugese Man o' War on Goode Beach, Albany, Western Australia.
We were with Freddie on the beach both Saturday and Sunday. Calm wind one day, and stiff gales the next. The poor ducks!
Brøndby Strand, Brøndby.
By far the best sunset of the holiday. We nipped out on a cloudless evening to visit Trebarwith Strand for the sunset. Upon arriving, there was already one tog set up for the classic trebarwith shot, so I left the other half reading a book on her kindle and headed round the corner to see if there was anything interesting to shoot.
In the end I was extremely glad I did, as I found a depression in the cliffs which was absolutely stuffed with flowers. To top things off, as the sun dipped below the horizon, clouds started to magically appear as the air cooled and the water condensed.
I'm never 100% happy with anything I take, but this shot sums up Cornwall for me.

This is an anonymously published postcard showing The Strand looking east from the junction with the Aldwych. The year is 1912, seven years on from my previous post of the scene. The Sunshine Girl is playing at the Gaiety Theatre, starring George Grossmith Jr and Phyllis Dare in another Edwardian musical comedy. The play ran from February for 336 performances and this appears to be sometime in the summer. In the middle is St. Mary Le Strand and Somerset House is middle right.
