DFC_4020: Sunny morning stroll along a wide sandy beach with gentle waves and a distant city skyline.
This photo shows a beautiful beach scene with golden sand stretching along the shoreline. Gentle waves are lapping at the beach, creating a white foamy edge where the water meets the sand. In the distance, a city skyline is visible with several high-rise buildings and towers creating a distinctive urban backdrop. The water appears to be a blue-green color, and there's a yellow buoy line visible in the water, likely marking a swimming area. The sky is clear blue without any clouds, suggesting a perfect sunny day. There are a few people scattered along the beach, though they appear as small figures in the distance. This looks like a popular urban beach with the convenience of city amenities nearby.
DSC_6668: A tranquil, empty sandy beach at dawn with calm waters, scattered boats on the horizon, and a line of trees under a cloudy sky.
This photo depicts a sandy beach near the ocean, with a cloudy sky overhead. The beach is relatively empty, with only a few people scattered around the area. Some of these individuals are closer to the water, while others are further back on the beach.
In the distance, there are several boats visible on the water, likely enjoying the ocean view or engaging in recreational activities. The overall atmosphere of the scene is calm and serene, with the cloudy sky adding a touch of tranquility to the beach setting.
DSC_8989: Two playful dogs tugging at a toy while romping along the shoreline as gentle waves lap the sand.
This photo features two dogs playing together on a sandy beach near the water. They are positioned close to each other, with one dog on the left side of the frame and the other on the right side. The dogs appear to be enjoying their time on the beach, possibly engaging in a playful tug-of-war or simply having fun together. The scene captures the essence of a sunny day at the beach, with the dogs enjoying the outdoors and each other's company.
DFC_4517: Quiet fishing boats resting on a sunny, sandy shore beneath a clear blue sky.
This is a beautiful beach scene from Pattaya City in Thailand. The photo shows a sandy shoreline with several small boats (some green and blue) pulled up onto the beach. On the left side, there's a large leafy tree providing shade, with what appears to be some small vendor stands or seating areas underneath. On the right side of the photo stands a tall communication tower or navigation marker with various equipment attached. The sky is a clear, vibrant blue, and the ocean appears calm with a blue-green hue. The beach doesn't look crowded, suggesting it might be either early in the day or during a less busy season. The overall scene depicts a peaceful coastal area that balances natural beauty with some basic tourist and fishing infrastructure.
Cool wave activity....

Captain Cook Hwy (Cairns to Port Douglas) - Rex Lookout with Trinity Bay and Wangetti Beach
The Captain Cook Highway is a short, regional highway in Queensland that originates in Cairns and terminates in Mossman, where it joins Mossman-Daintree Road, continuing to Daintree.The highway is used to connect the CBD of Cairns to the Northern Beaches, a collection of suburbs that comprise the northern section of Cairns. It is also used by many tourists travelling to the town of Port Douglas, north of Cairns. Apart from being a link between two tourist locations, the Captain Cook Highway is a scenic highway that winds alongside the coast of the tropical seaside rainforest heading towards Port Douglas and Daintree National ParkThe History of Rex LookoutThe name Rex Lookout came from a man named Raymond Rex, who was the Douglas Shire Councillor. Raymond Rex was a valued member of his shire, where he stayed as chairman of the Douglas Shire Council for 45 years! His community respected him tremendously and his efforts to have the Captain Cook Highway completed from Port Douglas to Cairns during the time of The Depression. Although he was respected by many, others fought him in his determination to get the road finished, claiming that people would spend their money elsewhere than Mossman and Port Douglas. And by elsewhere they meant Cairns.He also helped establish water and power supply from Rex Creek while he was still alive. Needless to say, Mr. Raymond Rex had a significant influence with the construction of the Captain Cook Highway Rex Lookout and other transportation developments. There is a plaque dedicated to him at the lookout for visitors to pay their respects to a man who fought hard and long to finish that road. The monument was dedicated on August 21st, 1982.
