La luz tiende su velo de plata sobre el mar.
Sosegadas, las olas subliman el silencio
de los tímidos pasos del día
aventurándose en su costumbre
de ruidos ascendentes
La piel se recupera y va asumiendo
el esplendor del sol que ya prodiga
su lujo de colores y relieves
el mar azul, el avaro espejo
en que se mira el cielo soleado
y en su vaivén el rumor de las olas
sugiere un largo viaje a la memoria.
Cada día renueva su memoria viejos días
en la unidad de tiempo que es la vida
The light spawns its silver light over the sea.
Pacified, the waves magnify the silence
of the feeble steps of the day
venturing into their habit
of increasing noises.
The skin gets over and is assuming
the splendor of the sun which already lavishes
its luxury of colors and reliefs,
the blue sea, the greedy mirror
in which the sunny sky watches itself
and in its swinging the sound of the waves
suggests a long trip to memory.
Each day renews its memory, old days
in the time unit which is the life.

The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.
The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.
The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.
But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.
Con la marea subiendo, la playa de Buelna ve cubierto gran parte de su arenal. Hay pocos bañistas.
Bueno, en realidad cuando nos acercamos por ahi había bastantes mas, pero luego comprobamos que el monstruo en forma de dragón de roca de la derecha los había devorado.
A lo largo del oriente de Asturias encontramos diversos arenales, pequeñitos, encantadores, como este junto al pueblo de Buelna.
Muchísimas gracias a los amigos de flickr por sus amables visitas, comentarios y premios a estas imágenes.
Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean from the spectacular Big Sur Coast, the Point Sur Lighthouse stands as a silent sentinel to a by-gone era.
Point Sur, a National Historic Landmark, is the only complete turn-of-the-century light station open to the public in California.
From 1899 until 1974, families lived and worked in the buildings atop Point Sur. Today the place is a ghost town.
The unique stone lighthouse still guides ships with its light, though it is now totally automated.
Thank you for your comments,

..........vedi caro amico cosa si deve inventare
per poterci ridere sopra,
per continuare a sperare.
E se quest'anno poi passasse in un istante,
vedi amico mio
come diventa importante
che in questo istante ci sia anch'io.....
Durdle door sits on the South Coast of the UK in Dorset and is part of the Jurassic coastline there.
A much loved spot visited by many photographers always produces some incredible images.
This was taken in the late afternoon when the rocks and coastline were bathed in some beautiful golden light.
Using a LEE little stopper for a longer exposure to catch some motion in the water.
Taken at Cuxhaven, Germany.
