Happiness is…

… finding a beach that makes you happy!

Paula over at Lost in Translation runs a weekly Black and White Sunday challenge. Sorry to hear she is feeling rather stressed and poorly this week. I wish her a speedy recovery and time to rest.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  2. Wow – the perspective on this photo is really interesting. I didn’t realize how expansive the view was until I noticed the very tiny people on the beach!!

    1. From above. I decided against walking down on to the beach as it was very windy and we could see a storm heading in!

  4. great shot, all those curvy shapes, textures and 2 tiny human creatures to illustrate the vastness.

  6. I could do with a (warm and sunny) beach today, Jude. Grey and murky here, light rain, flooded fields, and yet more mud. January is turning out to be a very depressing month, that’s for sure.
    Regards as always, Pete. x

    1. I don’t think it was very warm at the time (October) and a storm brewing, but I hear what you are saying 😉

  7. I used to ignore B&W photos because they were boring. How wrong I was! Love them now. Didn’t notice the people till Joanne mentioned them. Quite the perspective. ❤ ❤

    1. I suppose now we are used to colour images it is a challenge to see black and white ones differently; to focus on the things which colour tends to distract us from, such as the curves on this one.

      1. But not Paula! Definitely out of sorts this week, as she hasn’t made it here to say thanks. Working much too hard but feeling obligated to do so. What can you say? I’m afraid I just ruffle feathers 😦 Or is that the gamebird? 🙂

        1. You? Ruffle feathers? I doooon’t believe it! But I do know the ‘being put upon’ feeling. One reason I realised that teaching was not for me.

  10. Surprising how beaches actually look more remote in Black and White and it brings out the patterns of the waves. Nice interpretation of the theme Jude.

    1. I love the patterns in this image, and it is actually quite a remote beach and not one for swimming, so I think it attracts mainly dog walkers.
