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!

;-)

 

Winter in Germany...

 

... can also look like this...

...or this...

...or this! ;-)

Or what kind oth weather did you expect when taking a vacation a the German North Sea Coast at the turn of the year 2014 / 2015???

I wish you all a great year 2015!

Summer vacation memories and Christmas gifts

Did you already manage to obtain most of your gifts for Christmas?

Generally I'm not fastest in this discipline, but this year I had most of my prezzies for friends and family members right after my summer vacation.

My favourite online photo lab WHITE WALL offered 10 x10 cm prints on alu dibond for a very special price, so I ordered several of my summer memories in this special miniature format.

Enjoy some of my photographs in 10 x 10...

...all of them taken on my favourite vacation island Sylt!

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.
