Inchiquin Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I've really struggled to come up with a topic, so as it's now high summer let's celebrate summer holidays at the seaside. So let's see if we can capture some of the beauty, the atmosphere and the enjoyment of being beside the sea. Sorry we're a bit late starting this one. But you still. have three weeks before the end of the month. Here are a few examples: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) A topic that suits me well, while we live about 10 miles inland, but rarely does a week do by when we don't head for the coast. 1) Man carrying driftwood, Roker, Sunderland 2) Men with dog, Roker 3) And now for something completely different, Sunset at Etretat in France Edited August 12, 2021 by Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope these quality. I've only been to the Great Lakes once when I took the opportunity of an 8-hour flight stopover in Toronto to explore, and it felt very much like a sea to me!

wiskerke Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We live really close to the beach. However no images from our own seaside, at least not on Alamy. F9FJ8N - Oosterschelde storm surge or flood barrier. NL. Man-made seaside. F78GJX - Waitangi Treaty Grounds - NZ. EEH4H4 - Point Lobos - Ansel Adams and Edward Weston did it way better - still a great place. US. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough I was watching an old film on Monday, 'the go between' which the location was used. It is an iconic location. Coastguard cottages Seaford head.

Marianne Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Congrats Alan! Favorite subject. I don't live near the sea but it accounts for a big chunk of my portfolio. Here are a few my of my faves: Marshall Point Lighthouse, Port Clyde, Maine, USA.

Lori Rider Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Congrats again Alan, and again apologies for losing track of time at the end of my challenge. Wonderful entries already for this one but I might as well throw in my three.

Ed Rooney Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The seaside has never been my thing; I can't swim, I don't like laying in the sand, and isn't the seaside where those saltwater crocs, hungry gators, and venomous sea snakes hangout? So I usually approach my sea snaps with a long lens. Port d'Andratx, Mallora, where the king kept his boat. A photo sandwich. The guy was in Hawaii. The landmark Public Market in Seattle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
