The Southern Ocean, seen from Urquhart Bluff along the Great Ocean Road near Anglesea, about 1.5 hrs. from Melbourne. Looking serene and inviting at a distance, the beach is rated as highly hazardous, with a strong permanent rip current.

A little bit of beach vacation forced perspective. The figures are 1:35 scale Machinen Krieger mechs (Melusine model) with a 1:36 scale diecast vehicle. Whatever they were searching for, they obviously came back empty-handed.
this eagle was looking right at me to the point that it felt like a game of chicken...hard to determine who should move first, except I knew that she had to be quite far still~~~ however looking throughout the lens it looked so close....
at Shoeburyness Beach .. one back from the days when I could walk on a beach ( muddy or sandy ! ) I enjoyed watching the crows this day looking for their fresh from the sea tea …. and opening the shells for their tasty reward ! …. :)
While it is snowing right now.... just love walking on beaches fo find shorebirds and spend time capturing their dance with the waves.
About two dozen small, slender migrating Horned Larks landed on the beach at Whitefish Point, Michigan. They were well-camouflaged amid the beach stones, and their squeaking calls to each other were barely audible above the sounds of the whistling wind and crashing waves of Lake Superior.
I first noticed them when I chased my hat down the beach, and several of them flew up in front of me. The wind was so strong that it was difficult to hold the camera steady.

All alone on the Pacific Ocean at Kalaloch Campground in Washington State, near the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympia National Park.
Spotted in Largs on the west coast of Scotland on a recent trip. Living up to the 'Beachcomber' name.
