Perfect Beach Summer - Perfect Summer Beach

What comes into your mind, 

when you contemplate / think about "summer beaches"???

Hordes of people, heat, yelling, noise, the smell of sun cream ...?

And what's you personal idea or belief about a perfect summer beach???

OK, there are certainly as many ideas about this issue as there are different kind of people and their personal preferences and commitments.

***   ***   ***    ***   ***

I want to invite you to follow me on a trip to my (idea of a) perfect summer beach...

This one looks different from the first picture, doesn't it!?!?! ;-)

Is your idea of a perfect beach - even on the peak season - related to

rest & recreation, quiet (except for bird calls and the sound of the sea), beauty & harmony, pleasant temperatures & a light wind, sense of well-being, hang around & long beach strolls, looking for shells and relaxing in a beach chair???

--> Hey - that's absolutely what I prefer, too!!! ;-))

The only thing you have to take into consideration to get this is:

Don't try to be a part of the sheep flock!

In the morning or evening time during a sunny day the beach is to a great extend - yours!

Apart from some other savourers and connoisseurs!

Have you ever watched porpoises, also called mereswines [German: Schweinswale] in front of an overcrowded beach ?

Here's a porpoise mother with two almost adult youngs looking for fish, shells and conches...

...these ones were already whale food! ;-)

And the cormorant was waiting for a yummy bite of fish as well. 

Driven by North Sea wind!

I hope you enjoyed my trip to a nearly perfect summer beach!

Now try to find your own one!

Summer beach art

...just two weeks ago on Germany's most beautiful sand heap.

 This and much more is the result of the summer activities of an older couple that spends several weeks on their favorite beach section on their beloved vacation island on the North Frisian North Sea coast.

Vast...

... or as we call it in German:

Unendliche Weite

 

That's what we call a beach... ;-)

Black and White fairy tale on the beach

Black-and-white photography.

On the beach.

At the northeasternmost tip of Germany. 

But that's not the type of black-and-white story I want to tell today.

Here's a more colourful version of black-and-white photographs taken on the beach...

Like in a fairy tale one morning on the beach

a beautiful young lady in an extraordinary white dress

went riding on her impressive deep black Friesian horse.

Unfortunately no noble prince was far and wide.

But this princess didn't look like she was waiting for a prince,

she was definitely happy all alone with her gorgeous horse

galloping along the sandy beach.

***   ***   ***   ***   ***

But one moment later,

the lady and her horse disappeared as fast as they emerged.

The beach was empty again

and only the cries of the black-headed gulls

broke the silence.

Was it real?

Or just a dream?

New Year - New Horizon - Bright Prospects

Happy New Year 2014 from the German North Sea coast!

There's a bright light on the horizon...

...and hopefully bright prospects for 2014!
