One the Blake Sea
Well, look through the window
Tell me what do you see
A beautiful planet
Peace and harmony.

My gallery needed a bit of colour so while I was in a Thailand kinda mood thought I'd offer this sunset on the Andaman Sea after kayaking the ocean caves. It was such a peaceful time of day, especially after climbing back into your kayak and heading into a dark cave with your Krathong where the candles are lit, and the offering set afloat. It was a very zen moment. Have a fantastic week everyone !
Across the ditch is a saying here for popping over the Tasman Sea to New Zealand. This is the black rock beach of Napier on the north Island. It is a beachside city with a seaport, known for its sunny climate, esplanade lined with Norfolk pines, and extensive Art Deco architecture. For these attributes, Napier is sometimes romantically referred to as the "Nice of the Pacific".
Have a great week ahead !
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all.
Behold here, the mighty fleet of Phi Phi Island vessels! They may not be fancy cruise liners or high-tech yachts, but these native boats have a lot of character. Back in 2016 we hired one, with pilot, for the day for a princely sum of about $50 to sail us around all day to the non-tourist places for some spectacular people-free snorkelling.
They do come with a much better view than big fancy boats AND no risk of running into iceberg trouble. I can put up with traditional charm, the turquoise waters of Thailand, and the occasional fish nibbling my toes if I have to ;)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Does the little bit on the end of this shell look like a little shell eye to you too?
I like to think that there is a whole little world inside with little shell creatures looking at live feeds from the "eye" on little TV screens, analysing response tactics to the environment on their little shell computers, initiating their outer shell of silence until any potential danger has passed, and then cheering and jumping about and giving each other little shell creature high-fives. That little hole in the spirals under the eye is their emergency escape hatch I reckon. In an emergency, the ConchChime goes off and they throw a little shell creature ladder out the hole and make their escape while whatever they are escaping from is busy at the main entrance. There may have been a little hero shell creature stay behind to distract whoever they were escaping from, maybe named the Coral Crusader. I hope he/she made it out safely! Must be a tough life being a little shell creature, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
PS - I like shells, but then again, who doesn't!
Nestled between dramatic cliffs and the incessant roar of the Atlantic, Praia da Ursa is an unspoilt corner of natural beauty. Here the sea meets the land in an eternal dance, sculpting monumental cliffs that stand like guardians of an ancient sanctuary.
Legend has it that its name comes from a rock formation that once resembled the figure of a bear and her cub. This landscape is not only a gift of geography, but also the wild and untamed spirit of a coast where silence is broken only by the sound of the waves and the whisper of the wind.
Looking at this landscape is an invitation to introspection, to connect with the essence of the natural world and to contemplate the sublime power of nature.

Aninhada entre falésias dramáticas e o rugir incessante do Atlântico, a Praia da Ursa emerge como um recanto intocado de beleza natural. Aqui, o mar encontra a terra em uma dança eterna, esculpindo rochedos monumentais que se erguem como guardiões de um santuário ancestral.
A lenda conta que o nome deriva de uma formação rochosa que, em tempos, lembrava a figura de uma ursa com o seu filhote. Este cenário, além de ser uma dádiva da geografia, guarda em si o espírito selvagem e indomável de uma costa onde o silêncio só é quebrado pelo som das ondas e pelo sussurro do vento.
Contemplar esta paisagem é um convite à introspeção, à conexão com a essência do mundo natural, e à contemplação da força sublime da natureza.
Under the vast blue skies of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, local fishermen cast their vibrant, colorful nets into the largest sea, weaving a daily tapestry of tradition and livelihood. Each throw of the net tells a story of resilience and connection to the sea, capturing the beauty of their way of life. The vivid colors of the nets against the deep blue waters create a stunning contrast, embodying the harmony between nature and human effort.
"Where turquoise whispers meet towering cliffs – Maya Bay, a dream sculpted by nature." "Maya Bay is a paradise worth protecting, where nature shows us what’s truly priceless."
Taking the new ride out for a test float… and yes, she’s a beauty. Coming soon to a shoreline near you. Built for wave-chasing, sun-soaking, and stealing stares—this board is more than ready. Just like me. 🌞
This aerial image captures one of Earth’s most dramatic natural boundaries — the spot where the ancient golden dunes of the Namib Desert fall into the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
