Seen from Ecola State Park

Still not sure whether they are from humans or horses :). In the distance the skyline and pier of Scheveningen / The Netherlands. Despite it was a late Saturday afternoon in July, we where almost alone at the beach.

In LR I made a high contrast and high key image from the original

A view of Point Reyes Beach on a windy day in April, 2015. I wish we could go there now, but it is closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Happy Saturday! Hope you have a good weekend and a happy Easter, if you observe it. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

A rocky seashore view from Lauttasaari, Helsinki. Taken some half an hour after sunset on a nice and cool April evening.

The blue hour.

Aloes flowers on the cliffs in Algarve, Portugal.

Taken along with where the Portland Head Light was, see below

Also, you'd see many tiny people there when enlarging the view. :-)

...and this blue heron was reelin' them in time and time again.

Just a hint of colour as the sunsets behind the clouds taking all the colour with it.

The pier is the transition between land and sea .. the border between confusion and contemplation

Il molo rappresenta la transizione tra la terra e il mare.. il confine tra la confusione e la contemplazione

Nach dem schrecklichen Tsunami 2004 wurde der Titel bei den meisten Radiostationen gestrichen, aber 15 Jahre später kann man ihn schon mal wieder hören, denke ich...

Auf den Tag genau heute vor einem Jahr war ich am Strand von Warnemünde.

Hatte die Kamera in der Hand, bin meinen Gedanken nachgehangen, hab die Seele baumeln lassen...

Eigentlich schreien Lichtsituationen wie diese nach einer Langzeitbelichtung.

Aber mal ehrlich: Wem von uns gehört schon mehr als dieser eine, kleine Moment?

Vergangenheit ist unumkehrbar, Zukunft nicht wirklich planbar.

Umso mehr Raum bleibt für Träume, Wünsche, Ideen...

Juli sagt es im Lied so treffend - es gibt mehr, als du weißt, es gibt mehr, als du sagst... ;-)))

The Dutch coast has no natural rocks, just sandy beaches as far as the eye can reach. Nevertheless, one can find some artificial rocks as here at the entrance of Scheveningen harbor. These rocks are overgrown with animals and plants typical for such substrates. Seeing these rocks and kind of life gives me always the feeling of being back in primeval times when all live was restricted to the sea. This feeling I wanted to accentuate with this small depth of field image. It is a close-up view with a low PoV

Happy Monochrome Bokeh THursday! HMBT!
