The Magic moment of pink skies just before sunrise on the opposite horizon at Taberwith in Cornwall. The tide coming in fast was great for some slow exposure (and getting wet feet!)
Trebarwith Strand (Cornish: Trebervedh Sian; locally sometimes shortened to The Strand), is a coastal settlement and section of coastline located on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK, 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) south of Tintagel. It has 800m of sandy beach, contained by cliffs, in which natural caves are found.

The picture was taken during my holiday in Scotland at the beautifully situated Glenbrittle campsite, which is right by the sea.
Fotoreise Lofoten / Norwegen
Im Norden der Insel Vestvågøya, auf den Lofoten liegt der Strand Utakleiv. Es ist einer der schönsten Strände Norwegens und laut englischer Times 2005, mit einer der 10 schönsten Strände Europas. Der durch ein Bergmassiv geschützte Strand ist bei Surfer und Wellenreiter gleichermaßen beliebt. Aber auch Naturfotografen finden hier eine Traum Kulisse.
In der Ferne sind die Gipfel von Medskolmen und Skolmen, ein weißer Feiner Sandstrand, unzählige Felsen in unterschiedlichster Form, umgeben von einer schroffen Bergkulisse, mit der frischen Meeresbrise des europäischen Nordmeeres, das ist Uttakleiv.

Gammel Strand (modern Danish for "old beach"; originally meant "the old shoreline", i.e. prior to land reclamations) is a street and public square in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
Copenhagen's cradle
Gammel Strand used to be the site of a natural harbour, sheltered by a few small islets later to develop into Slotsholmen. It was around this harbour that Copenhagen was founded as a small fishing and trading settlement in the 11th century. However, archeological finds show that the beach at that time was located considerably further inland. The area was marshy and boats were merely pulled up on the beach. Later land reclamations moved the coastline and a proper harbour developed.

Once on the kind of day called “weather breeder,”
When the heat slowly hazes and the sun
By its own power seems to be undone,
I was half boring through, half climbing through
A swamp of cedar. Choked with oil of cedar
And scurf of plants, and weary and over-heated,
And sorry I ever left the road I knew,
I paused and rested on a sort of hook
That had me by the coat as good as seated,
And since there was no other way to look,
Looked up toward heaven, and there against the blue,
Stood over me a resurrected tree,
A tree that had been down and raised again
A barkless spectre. He had halted too,
As if for fear of treading upon me.
I saw the strange position of his hands
Up at his shoulders, dragging yellow strands
Of wire with something in it from men to men.
“You here?” I said. “Where aren’t you nowadays
And what’s the news you carry ––if you know?
And tell me where you’re off for ––Montreal?
Me? I’m not off for anywhere at all.
Sometimes I wander out of beaten ways
Half looking for the orchid Calypso.”

Last Friday I ventured down to Trebarwith Strand with Darren, Jim and James for sunset.
I've been here twice now, the last time I went I witnessed one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen, so I was hoping for more of the same on this visit.
We got there as the tide was coming in, which meant most of the beach was inaccessible. So, I headed to this rock channel which is one of the classic compositions from here, I'm pretty happy with the shot but I think we needed the tide to be a bit higher as it fills this channel with fast flowing water.
There was some nice colour just before sunset, but it was snuffed out by a huge bank of moody cloud so we didn't get the pinks and blues that we were after.

The photo on the gate is by Richard Krawiec, congrats again. And for that shameless plug I expect there'll be a cheque in the post. 😁
