Dahab Sunset Vibes
A vibrant, scenic view of people enjoying various water activities on a body of water at sunset, framed by large mountains. The sky and water are bathed in warm golden and orange light, creating a tranquil and picturesque atmosphere.The scene is tranquil and serene, with the warm hues of the sun creating a "golden hour" effect.Several people are visible in the water in silhouette: some are in kayaks or canoes, others appear to be stand-up paddleboarding or swimming, and a small motorboat is moving through the water.The various water activities (kayaking, boating) add a sense of life and leisure to the natural landscape. The human element, though silhouetted, provides a sense of scale against the vastness of the mountains and water.The composition uses the water as a leading element, drawing the eye towards the horizon and the large, silhouetted mountains in the background. The horizon line is positioned relatively high, emphasizing the water and the sky's warm glow.The calm water reflects the vibrant sky, and the background is dominated by large, silhouetted mountains or hills, which add a sense of grandeur to the landscape.

Sandymouth Winter Edition
Happy New Year to all of you! We had a lovely Christmas and New Year's staycation in North Cornwall with the family. We even had great weather for that week! There's plenty of holiday snaps to come, here is one I did from one of our favourite beaches at Sandymouth, including one of the picturesque waterfalls.

Rock Platforms, Sea Breezes, and Wet Shoes
Bongon Beach is one of those places that feels both wild and welcoming, with plenty of spots to scramble, pause, and soak in the view across to the headland.Unfortunately, no scrambling for me for a little while — another bike stack. I didn’t break my wrist again, just an ankle fracture, so it’s moon-boot life for a bit. I do wonder how a moon boot would go on rock shelves… only one way to find out, I guess. 😉And tell me this — how did Tarzan never grow a beard when he lived in a jungle without a razor?Thanks as always for stopping by — your visits and comments are truly appreciated!Waterscape 96 of 100 in 2025

Hillsboro Lighthouse
Florida
Currituck Beach Lighthouse (NRHP #73001333) - Corolla, North Carolina
Completed in 1875, Currituck Beach Lighthouse was the last of three major lighthouses to be built on the North Carolina coast. It is a graceful structure whose architectural qualities remove it from the mundane utilitarian class of building which its purely functional purpose would seem to require. The red brick tower of the lighthouse is laid in one-to-three common bond and reaches 158 feet into the air. At its top is a polygonal glass lantern with a metal roof and acorn-shaped finial. A narrow platform with a simple iron railing encircles and gives access to the lantern. Below this is a broad circular open gallery supported by very large ornate iron brackets with pendants. The long, sloping brackets are stopped below by a heavy molded necking. Set in the shaft of the lighthouse between the brackets and above the necking are four narrow casement windows facing north, south, east, and west. Below them and facing the sea are three windows placed vertically along the height of the shaft, with diminution appropriate to the height and taper of the shaft. At levels between the three seaward windows, but facing the sound, are two windows of the same design. Each narrow eight-over-eight sash window is segmental-arched and surrounded by a projecting molded brick frame accented at its four comers and keystone with what appears to be granite. The shaft itself rests on a brick foundation, hexagonal in shape, whose iron weatherings form a water table which overhangs the off-set of the brick foundation. Connected to the base of the lighthouse on the sound side is a small one-story brick building three bays wide and two bays deep. Through it, access is gained to the lighthouse by means of an enclosed passage. It is of brick laid in one-to-five common bond on a high brick foundation with a stone water table. Two four-over-six sash windows, similar to those of the lighthouse, are set in each of the gable ends. The main faḉade to the west contains a paneled door with a transom under a stone segmental-arched lintel on brick pilasters. The lintel carries the date 1873. And, with the ornate keeper's cottage, so consistent in style with the lighthouse, it forms a monument rich in associations with North Carolina's fabled Outer Banks.This lighthouse was built to warn shipping vessels in the area between Cape Henry, Virginia and Bodie Island Lighthouse, which was built lower on Carolina's Outer Banks. When running south, ships hug this shore as tight as possible to avoid the Gulf Stream. Running north, there was the chance of mistaking False Cape, north of the light, for Cape Henry. Currituck Beach Lighthouse, with its 160,000 candle power light, is visible for fifteen miles. It is also sometimes called Whaleshead Lighthouse because it is near a long sand dune which mounds up at one end in a large hump resembling a whale's head. At about the time the lighthouse was completed, a group of northern sportsmen established a hunting lodge nearby called the Lighthouse Club. This was one of several such clubs formed by hunters of the abundant duck and geese in the area. The club property included the Whaleshead dune and much of the land adjacent to the lighthouse. Later a railroad magnate, Edward C. Knight, built a lavish hunting lodge called the Whaleshead Club on this same tract. Also at the time the lighthouse was built, a station of the United States Life Saving Service was constructed nearby. Around these enterprises a modest settlement grew up called Corolla which still exists, and thrives today.Today, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse now functions automatically, casting its beam seaward every twenty seconds. Maintenance of the light and ownership of the property it occupies has been vested in the North Carolina Department of Economic and Natural Resources who up-keeps and operates the lighthouse. And, part of that operation today is that of a museum and piece of long-standing Outer Banks history. The lighthouse, all associated structures, and the grounds were all listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on October 18, 1973 (which also was my birth date!). All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Centre Beach View of Coogee Beach on Xmas Day 2025, Sydney, NSW
Copyright - All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond ImagesI have never seen so many people on the grassed area here at Coogee Beach, mostly young people under 35, presumably backpackers, many from Ireland, among a plethora of other countries. In what looked like a co-ordinated plan, hundreds of girls were dressed in red bikinis and santa hats while many males donned santa suits creating a unique Australian beach scene.
From what I was able to observe the youthful crowd were extremely well behaved, well except for the tons of rubbish they left behind for Randwick Council to clean up.Other Eastern Suburbs beaches like Brontë were off limits for Xmas Day in 2025 due to renovations around the park area behind the beach. Presumably many people felt uncomfortable returning to Bondi following the tragic terrorist event that occurred there on December 14th 2025.
Despite the crowds on the grassed area the beach was less well populated as the surf was choppy and the day a little cloudy and cooler that we normally might expect on Xmas Day in Australia.It must be said that Randwick Shire Council’s clean-up staff did an amazing job with the beach and grassed areas absolutely spotless by sun up on Boxing Day.
DZ6_1721: Nighttime beach scene, soft sand, glowing streetlights, and people strolling and relaxing along the shoreline under a starless sky.
This is a nighttime beach scene, beautifully illuminated by bright street lamps. The sandy beach stretches across the foreground, with various people relaxing in small groups scattered along the shore. There are trees lining what appears to be a boardwalk or promenade area on the right side, creating a pleasant contrast against the night sky. In the distance, you can see city lights shimmering along what seems to be a coastline or waterfront area. The atmosphere looks peaceful yet lively, typical of a popular beach destination in the evening hours where people gather to enjoy the cooler temperatures after dark.
DFC_0460: Weathered wooden stilt house and dock built over a sandy, rocky shoreline with tropical trees in the background.
The photo shows a rustic wooden structure built on stilts along a beach shoreline. It's a traditional-style building with a dark sloped roof and weathered wooden walls, elevated above the sandy beach on concrete or wooden pillars. The structure appears to be positioned right at the water's edge, with the tide currently low, exposing some rocky areas and wet sand. Behind the building, there's lush tropical vegetation with palm trees and other greenery covering hillsides. There's also what looks like a small boat or watercraft visible near the structure. The setting has a remote, tropical island atmosphere, possibly in Southeast Asia or a similar coastal tropical region. The architecture style is reminiscent of traditional coastal buildings found in places like Thailand, Indonesia, or other parts of Southeast Asia, designed to withstand tidal changes and provide shelter while maintaining a connection to the beach and water.
Land's End
Behind this is the famous El Arco del Cabo San Lucas. Because these rocks jut out into the water, the beach is broken in two. Even if we could walk farther, we wouldn't see the arch at this angle. But that's okay. I thought this was cooler.(Cabo San Lucas, Mexico)

Sandhaven Morning 2
Sandhaven, South Shields, England
Flood Log Jam - In Black Head Back Beach Creek from Record Floods in the Manning River May 2025
© All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond ImagesBetween 19th – 25th May 2025 the Manning River reached a record flood height of 6.44 metres at the Martin Bridge in Taree.
While not actually quite reaching the Martin Bridge carriageway it was very close to going over for the first time in recorded history. The flooding lasted more than a week with in excess of 700mm of rain in some parts of the Manning catchment over the period.
The floods did wipe out many roads and bridges upstream, including the Bight Bridge at Wingham, and submerged parts of urban Taree and large swathes of the lowland dairy farms downstream near the estuary mouths causing great loss of property and pastureland. There were 5 confirmed fatalities from these floods and many hundreds of people impacted, many of their homes rendered both uninsurable and uninhabitable.
It was estimated that around 10,000 homes were damaged in the event.
At least 794 homes were declared uninhabitable by the NSW State Emergency Service in the Mid North Coast region as of 27 May 2025.
Another source reported “more than 500 properties declared uninhabitable" following initial assessments.
The Manning is the only major river in Australia with two entrances, one at Harrington in the north and the other at Old Bar in the south. Both entrances are currently so badly silted up that its not possible for larger craft to enter the sea from either Harrington or Old Bar, despite major historical breakwater works at Harrington which in the last century allowed large wooden ships to trade up as far as Wingham.The flood surpassed the previous record of 5.9 metres set in the 1929 flood though local aboriginal people speak of stories of even larger floods in past history.
The flood debris, seen in this image was carried a few kilometres south of the Manning River's southern estuary entrance at Old Bar to this small coastal creek at Back Beach, Black Head where it jammed the creek with wood and logs.
Unless these logs are manually removed it's likely that heavy rain at some point in the future will cause flooding of lowland littoral rainforest in the vicinity.
Similar log jams of debris also built up in the creek behind Black Head Beach but after many months and no doubt numerous complaints to council it was finally mostly removed.

There's a boardwalk or promenade area where people are gathered, with some vendors or shops visible. On the sand, a few people are relaxing in beach chairs or camping chairs. The beach appears to be in a tropical or coastal tourist area, with the combination of the beach, palm trees, and nighttime activities suggesting it's a popular evening spot for both locals and visitors. There seems to be some kind of event or regular night market happening along the edge of the beach, as indicated by the cluster of people and lights in that area.
DFC_3880: Silhouetted palm trees and people line a tranquil beach as the sun sets over calm waters.
This photo shows a beautiful beach sunset scene. Palm trees and other vegetation create silhouettes against the colorful sky as the sun sets over a body of water, likely the ocean. The warm golden and orange hues of the sunset contrast with the dark outlines of the trees and figures on the beach.

In the background, a body of water can be seen, and a boat is visible on the water. The overall atmosphere of the scene suggests a neglected and abandoned space, with the presence of the potted plants and bottles adding to its unkempt appearance.
DSC_8723: An old fishing boat listing at the pier as dawn breaks, moored beside a quiet concrete jetty stretching into the misty harbor.
This photo features a large boat that has been washed up on a beach, resting on the shore near the water. The boat appears to be old and abandoned, as it is not in use.
There are a few people in the scene, with one person standing closer to the left side of the boat, another person further to the right, and a third person standing near the center of the image. Additionally, there are two motorcycles parked nearby, one closer to the left side of the boat and the other further to the right.

Ai Rendition of Coogee Beach on Xmas Day 2025
Copyright - All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond ImagesThis is a Google Gemini rendered Ai image of the scene at Coogee Beach on Xmas Day 2025.
The surf club and background buildings and the concourse are not rendered accurately but the hundreds of young women who turned up on the day in red bikinis is.
Many of the men were also wearing santa suits and red hats on Xmas Day.
The best one can say about this Google Gemini Ai rendition is that it has very generalised similarities to the Coogee Beach scene on Xmas Day 2025.

Whitmore Bay sunset
My first sunset of 2026!
Whitmore bay is the largest of 3 sandy, tidal beaches that surround the leisure location of Barry Island on the south Wales coast.
Barry Island is technically now a peninsula. It was connected to the mainland through the construction of the extensive Barry docks in the 1880's.
