The Magic moment of pink skies just before sunrise on the opposite horizon at Taberwith in Cornwall. The tide coming in fast was great for some slow exposure (and getting wet feet!)
Trebarwith Strand (Cornish: Trebervedh Sian; locally sometimes shortened to The Strand), is a coastal settlement and section of coastline located on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK, 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) south of Tintagel. It has 800m of sandy beach, contained by cliffs, in which natural caves are found.
Fotoreise Lofoten / Norwegen
Im Norden der Insel Vestvågøya, auf den Lofoten liegt der Strand Utakleiv. Es ist einer der schönsten Strände Norwegens und laut englischer Times 2005, mit einer der 10 schönsten Strände Europas. Der durch ein Bergmassiv geschützte Strand ist bei Surfer und Wellenreiter gleichermaßen beliebt. Aber auch Naturfotografen finden hier eine Traum Kulisse.
In der Ferne sind die Gipfel von Medskolmen und Skolmen, ein weißer Feiner Sandstrand, unzählige Felsen in unterschiedlichster Form, umgeben von einer schroffen Bergkulisse, mit der frischen Meeresbrise des europäischen Nordmeeres, das ist Uttakleiv.

Gammel Strand (modern Danish for "old beach"; originally meant "the old shoreline", i.e. prior to land reclamations) is a street and public square in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
Copenhagen's cradle
Gammel Strand used to be the site of a natural harbour, sheltered by a few small islets later to develop into Slotsholmen. It was around this harbour that Copenhagen was founded as a small fishing and trading settlement in the 11th century. However, archeological finds show that the beach at that time was located considerably further inland. The area was marshy and boats were merely pulled up on the beach. Later land reclamations moved the coastline and a proper harbour developed.
Extract from Wikipedia
Last Friday I ventured down to Trebarwith Strand with Darren, Jim and James for sunset.
I've been here twice now, the last time I went I witnessed one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen, so I was hoping for more of the same on this visit.
We got there as the tide was coming in, which meant most of the beach was inaccessible. So, I headed to this rock channel which is one of the classic compositions from here, I'm pretty happy with the shot but I think we needed the tide to be a bit higher as it fills this channel with fast flowing water.
There was some nice colour just before sunset, but it was snuffed out by a huge bank of moody cloud so we didn't get the pinks and blues that we were after.

Am Timmendorfer Strand ist selbst bei stürmischer See, starkem Wind und intensiver Bewölkung immer etwas los. Das ,,Teehaus Mikado" am Ende der Seebrücke wird dann auch noch besucht.
beach and pier
There is always something going on at Timmendorfer Strand, even in stormy seas, strong winds and heavy clouds. We then also visited the "Teehaus Mikado" at the end of the pier.
