Outer Banks Ocean View at Sunset - Nags Head, North Carolina

Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6."For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11The best way to view my photostream is through Flickriver with the following link: www.flickriver.com/photos/photojourney57/

The Friendly Beaches
Have to say I feel very lucky surrounded by all the great beaches on the Central Coast, but the aptly name "Friendly Beaches" in Freycinet National Park in Tasmania blew me away. Pristine white sand, aquamarine ocean, not a soul in sight as far as the eye can see north & south- wish I had more than an hour to explore them. Anyway, I'm waffling. I can highly recommend a visit if you are ever near the parts , cheers :)

Atlantic Ghost Crab (or Sand Crab) - Outer Banks - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina
The Atlantic ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, is a species of ghost crab. It is a common along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where it is the only species of ghost crab. Its range of distribution extends from its northernmost reach on beaches in Westport, Massachusetts, south along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and down across the coasts of the tropical Western Atlantic Ocean to the beach of Barra do Chui, in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil.Adults are grayish or the color of straw, and around 2.0 in wide at maturity. They must return to water periodically to moisten their gills, and when larvae must be released into the sea, but are otherwise terrestrial living predominantly or entirely on land. Their stalked compound eyes can swivel to give them 360° vision. Young crabs are cryptically colored to blend in with their sandy habitats.-- Technical Information (or Nerdy Stuff) --

Pazifikküste in Peru: Sandstrand und blaues Meer
Das Bild zeigt eine weite, unberührte Küstenlandschaft am Pazifik in Peru. Im Vordergrund erstreckt sich ein heller Sandstrand mit sanften Dünen und feinen Wellenmustern im Sand, die vom Wind geformt wurden. Dahinter ist das tiefblaue Meer zu sehen, mit weissen Wellen, die sanft an den Strand rollen. Am Horizont verschmilzt das Meer mit einem hellblauen Himmel, der von einer dünnen Schicht niedriger Wolken und einigen vereinzelten Cumuluswolken durchzogen ist. Die Szene strahlt Ruhe und Weite aus und vermittelt den Eindruck einer abgelegenen Naturlandschaft entlang der Panamericana.

First light, Iqaluit
First light in Iqaluit is a threshold — a spectrum of beginnings refracted across horizon and memory. Each dawn bends possibility into choice, reminding us that resilience is not singular but renewed daily, a ritual of orientation at the edge of the Arctic.

Same procedure
One thing you can (almost) always count on in the Canary Islands is stable weather all year round. And so, almost every day begins with a fantastic sunrise over the sea, if you are on the right side of the island.
I really wanted to capture this morning scene on the kilometre-long sandy beach of Maspalomas on Gran Canaria with my telephoto lens. In doing so, I was eyed critically by some sports enthusiasts and asked if I was photographing their bottoms.

Coomba Bay Lakeside Swimming Pool & Jetty, Coomba Park & Wallis Lake, Great Lakes, NSW
Copyright - All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond ImagesThe small but gradually growing village of Coomba Park is located on the southern end Wallis Lake. From here its a relatively short boat ride (10-15mins) northwards down Wallis Lake to Forster but 40 to 50 minutes by road (43.6km) through Pacific Palms to Forster.
Coomba Park was first settled in the 1950's when Chas Degotardi established a small urban subdivision there. The community was originally advertised as "The Lakes Way's First Waterfront Subdivision."
The Degotardi Real Estate Developers offered free De Havilland Dragon Rapide (DH.89 Dragon Rapide) seaplane flights from Rose Bay in Sydney to potential land buyers at Coomba Park. House Block sized properties at the time were being offered from as low as Au$500
Coomba Park borders on to the Wallingat National Park and its just a 25 minute drive to Smiths Lake and Pacific Palms and another 20 minutes down to Seal Rocks.. This friendly village offers peace and tranquility being miles from the stresses of everyday city life.
Coomba Park has slowly developed into a substantial community of urban and acreage blocks and now has its own Aquatic Club and an extensive foreshore park which also includes a fenced off Wallis Lake swimming beach.
The village also has a large resident kangaroo population and is actually much closer to Forster Tuncurry by boat that it is by car.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.[Psalm 9:1-2 NIV]5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
