Chesil Beach (sometimes called Chesil Bank) is an 18 mile (29km) long, 200 metre wide and 18 metre high shingle tombolo in Dorset, southern England. The beach is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Pebbles on the beach are graded, with the coarser stones nearer to Portland. Fishermen familiar with the beach claim to be able to tell their location from pebble size alone. The pebbles are mainly flint and chert from the Cretaceous and Jurassic rocks which make up this stretch of the Heritage Coast, along with bunter pebbles, possibly from Budleigh Salterton, although no universally accepted geological theory has been formulated to explain the mode of transport.
Enjoying a brief burst of nice weather inbetween all the howling gales and driving, heavy rain that has battered the country with two storm systems. It only lasted about an hour, but at least some folks (us included!) got a chance for a non-soggy beach stroll and let the hounds have a walk
We spent an afternoon with the grandkids on the beach near Ocean City State Park.
The Washington state beach is on the Pacific Ocean. For July, it was a pretty cool day (for a former Texan).
David found a small flounder.
Wilson Cottage
123 Coral St.
Built ca. 1882
Wilson Brothers & Company firm of architects and engineers were responsible for constructing many of the large estate houses in the early years of Beach Haven's development. This home was actually owned by John Wilson and was illustrated in the Wilson Brother's 1885 catalog. The half-timbered gables are original along with the lime-green/dark green colors. Additional unique features include the two extraordinary chimneys linked by an arch, and the floor-to-ceiling first floor windows. Perhaps the most delightful decorative feature is the stencil-like incised pattern of flowers at the center of each gable between the pairs of second-floor windows.
It's been a while I wanted to take this "classic". Thinking of it I took a similar shot on film in summer 2003 just after moving to Miami, probably even the same beach chairs. ;-)
A vacation in beautiful Cala galdana. Cala Galdana Beach, situated on the south coast of Menorca around 40 minutes from the airport and only a few kilometers from the town of Ferreries lies the very popular and picturesque resort of Cala Galdana. Although small in size, it is one of Menorca's most loved, most photographed and most visited resorts.
This was the bar on the beach in Tulum. About a 5 minute walk from our cabana. We had quite a few cocktails out there (like pina colada). I think the barman's name was Antonio. We really liked the seats. And the setting was great. Especially during the sunset.
A lovely sunset down at Shelley Beach, Portsea.

The wild ponies were on the beaches in the Outer Banks of N.C. in droves on this day. A southwesterly wind pushed the flies and other biting insects towards the shoreline. The ponies sought refuge at the waterline all day long. I was able to photograph all the small groups of horses scattered all the way from Corolla northward to the Virginia line. There will be more to follow as I process the day's shoot.
This photo made it into the Virginian Pilot Newspaper on Monday, June 25th.
This is Cylinder Beack on Stradbroke Island. What a fantastic spot. This was taken Easter long weekend, great weather. These sunbathers on the rock fit into my summer beach scene. Little bit different forground interesting than my usual landscapes :) Also tested out the Marumi polariser. I had read good reviews so though I'd give it a go. This was a perfect testing ground.
Not the most beautiful beach of Europe, but one of the most famous: Juno Beach. This is where more than 14,000 Canadians landed and confronted massive German resistance on D-day (June 6, 1944) as part of the invasion of Normandy known as Operation Overlord, in a desperate effort to liberate France from the Nazis (see map below). On that day, the Canadian forces suffered 1074 casualties including 369 killed right on the beach.
The larger town on the right of the photograph is Courseulles-sur-Mer. To the south, we can see the village of Reviers and about 1 km to the right (on the edge of the photograph) there is a small rectangle which is the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery (mouse over). There are 2049 markers in the cemetery, which include the D-day casualties on Juno beach as well as Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in July 1944 during the battle for Caen. Also interred in this cemetery are four British soldiers and one French.
The town on the left is Ver-sur-Mer (or La Rivière on the map below) which marks the eastern limit of Gold Beach, which on D-day was fought by the British forces.
I took this shot from my airplane window, on Sept 2nd, 2013, as Huguette and I were returning home to Canada after a lovely cruise on the Imperial Waterways of Russia (see three previous sets).
