The rock structures here are varied and complex and help make a variety of compositions possible.

Beach houses behind the Main Beach, Port Stanley, Ontario, Canada. Pretty much the way I feel tonight.
The beach is host to events throughout the summer for both locals and visitors. The East Coast Surfing Championships (started by the Virginia Beach Jaycees on the shores of Virginia Beach in 1963) are the second-longest, continuously-run surfing contest in the world! This year included new events as well as the favorites. A few of the sights from this year.....

It was a lovely day to walk on an almost empty beach. Lots of seaweed thrown up by storms a few days before, a few dog walkers & me. In summer this beach has masses of children playing on clean sand, & lots of swimmers on warm days.
Visit this place because it won't be there anymore by the end of March

Thanksgiving break was fun and relaxing, I got to see my fambam at the beach, got time off of school, and went on a date with ALLI$ON!! Haha I know she'll eventually be reading this. And yes, I'm a boy and I like girls. Weird, huh? :P
Hope you guys had a great week too!
Since Operation Fix Long Beach started, Hope For Paws funded the spay & neuter of 200 dogs and cats (and in a few days we'll start a campaign to fix 400 more).
This service is given for FREE to people who can't afford it.
One of my best friends who is running this show is Claudia Hoffmann. She is there every weekend, rallying the troops, convincing people to spay / neuter their pets, works hard to educate the public, and works nonstop to save animals.
(If you don't know Claudia, she is at the center right next to the dog with the dark sunglasses).
Today & tomorrow we have an opportunity to give her a gift (that she doesn't even want), but the goal is really to get the story to the media about one person working hard to change her community.
Here is the link to the competition: gemsoflb.com/#contest
Please vote for CLAUDIA HOFFMANN
Thank you to everybody else involved... dedicated volunteers who are working hard to prevent the suffering of many animals.

A Carolina beach that stretches for miles with little sign of civilization. Not all that unusual for the Outer Banks of NC.
My fantastic model is leaving Hawaii soon :( ...and this was the result of our last photoshoot in Ewa Beach [Sunday, July 15th, 2007] . Out of 202 images--40 of them 'graduated' to keepers-which is quite an accomplishment. This particular shot is one of my fave's tho.

This million years (?) old creature was "immortalized" by nature. I found him on the beautiful Aldeburgh beach in the late 80s.
Taken on 29-10-2007 (just before this shot) from the very rear seat of a Boeing 737-800 - FR925 BLK-DUB - as we left Blackpool to return to Ireland after Cormac's stag weekend.
Splendid craic was had by all :-)
Lovely sunny but blustery afternoon there.
From the wikipedia:
Blackpool is a seaside town in Lancashire, England. Lying along the coast of the Irish Sea, it has a population of 142,900. Blackpool rose to prominence as a major centre of tourism during the 19th century, particularly for the inhabitants of northern mill towns
Blackpool is heavily dependent on tourism. In what is often regarded as its heyday (1900-1950), Blackpool thrived as the factory workers of northern England took their annual holidays there en masse. Any photograph from that era shows crowds of tourists on the beach and promenade. Blackpool was also a preferred destination of visitors from Glasgow and remains so to this day. Reputedly, the town still has more hotel and B&B beds than the whole of Portugal. The town went into decline when cheap air travel arrived in the 1960s and the same workers decamped to the Mediterranean coast resorts due to competitive prices and the more reliable weather. Today Blackpool remains the most popular seaside resort in the UK, however the town has suffered a serious drop in numbers of visitors which has fallen from 17 million in 1992 to 10 million today. Similarly Blackpool Pleasure Beach remains the country's most popular free attraction with 6 million visitors a year but has lost over a million visitors since 1998. Today, many visitors stay for the weekend rather than for a week at a time.
Blackpool boasts some important landmarks, most of which appeared originally as part of the flourishing tourist industry.
* Blackpool Tower, opened in 1894; it has been a dominant landmark of the Blackpool skyline since that time. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower of Paris, France, it is 158m (518ft 9in) tall. Beneath the tower is a complex of leisure facilities, entertainment venues and restaurants, including the world famous Tower Ballroom and Tower Circus.
* North Pier - The northernmost of Blackpool's three piers. It includes a small shopping arcade, a small tramway and the North Pier Theatre toward the end of the pier. The pier end also used to have a helicopter pad, but this was damaged at Christmas 1997 by a windstorm and collapsed into the Irish Sea.
* Central Pier - The middle pier, includes a large ferris wheel and shops.
* South Pier - The southernmost pier. Almost directly opposite the Pleasure Beach, it houses a theme park.
* Pleasure Beach Blackpool - a famous theme park. Rides include the Pepsi Max Big One, which is the largest roller coaster in the theme park and one of the largest in the UK.
* The Winter Gardens is a large entertainment and conference venue in the town centre. Includes the Opera House (one of the largest theatres in Europe), Pavilion Theatre, Empress Ballroom, Spanish Hall, Arena and Olympia.
A controversial aspect of Blackpool's night-life is its hen and stag parties. Brides- or bridegrooms-to-be and their friends, often dressed alike in absurd or risqué attire, roam the town's many bars and clubs getting increasingly drunk. Their rowdy behaviour is claimed to discourage family visitors and has led to complaints from hotel and guest house owners keen to attract a more upmarket clientele.
I obviously cannot possibly comment on that last statement :-)
At Jericho Beach and Park. I would consider this genuine beach volleyball as it really takes place on a...beach! Whereas some beach volleyball compeitions occur within a stadium where the centre court is transformed into a beach environment.

On Omapere beach, New Zealand.
This lovely beach is part of the shoreline of Hokianga Harbour,
near the top of the north west coast of North Island, New Zealand.
A breathtakingly beautiful spot, quiet and unspoilt, it is also near to the Waipoua Forest where Tane Mahuta, the biggest native Kauri tree in New Zealand can be found.
I thought the shadows looked rather like a praying mantis !
