🌴✨ Between sky and sea, Okinawa whispers serenity. 🌅✨ Entre ciel et mer, Okinawa murmure la sérénité.
🌴 Nirai Beach, Okinawa – Sous un ciel aux teintes pastel, cette plage tranquille révèle un Okinawa préservé. Le sable doré se perd dans une mer turquoise apaisée, tandis que les formations rocheuses émergent comme des sculptures naturelles façonnées par le temps. Ici, la lumière du soir se transforme en un tableau impressionniste, où le ciel se pare de nuances roses, violettes et orangées.Une invitation au voyage, entre sérénité et émerveillement, dans l’un des joyaux cachés de l’archipel des Ryūkyū.------------------------------- English Version ---------------------------------
🌴 Nirai Beach, Okinawa – Beneath a pastel-hued sky, this tranquil beach reveals a preserved Okinawa. Golden sand fades into a calm turquoise sea, while rocky formations rise like natural sculptures shaped by time. Here, the evening light transforms into an impressionist painting, where the sky is adorned with shades of pink, violet, and orange.An invitation to travel—between serenity and wonder—in one of the hidden gems of the Ryūkyū Islands.

World Photography (yester)Day
A belated Happy World Photography Day for yesterday! Sadly, I didn’t manage to get out with the camera this year - we’re in the middle of yet another week of cold and rain. It’s been a pretty miserable winter all round.So instead, here’s one from World Photography Day 2022, when I braved an early start for sunrise at Box Beach, Port Stephens. Definitely a brighter memory than today’s grey wet skies.And while we’re on “world days,” today is almost as significant as World Photography Day… it’s World Mosquito Day! Do you call them mozzies in your part of the world as we do here? Fun fact about mozzies: police in Finland found a dead mosquito in a car that had been stolen. They tested the blood inside the mosquito and used it to identify the car thief. I guess the thief thought the evidence really sucked.
If you do find yourself with a mosquito problem, just ring your local police station and ask for the swat team. 😉Thanks as always for your comments, they’re much appreciated!Waterscape 71/100 for 2025

Emerald & Sapphire: Skopelos Isl., Greece
This is a B/W photograph of the waterfront of Loutraki port —in proximity to the picturesque village called Glossa, Greece— during sunset. Skopelos Island is defined by lush vegetation, making it an emerald amidst a sapphire sea—Aegean Sea. The dying sun paints the cloud-laden skies with colours imbued with magnificence. The slopes are covered by pine trees.

2025-06-23 (09) Gargano. Spiaggia di Vignanotica
This is the view one gets over this spectacular beach, enclosed by towering white cliffs, when coming from Baia delle Zagare (previous photos) over the "sentiero dell’amore" (a.k.a. Sentiero Natura Mergoli-Vignanotica in a less marketing-oriented denomination) that follows the coast between these two bays
2025-06-23 (01) Gargano. Faraglioni di Baia dei Mergoli
This is certainly one of the most extraordinary bays of the Italian coast, but it has, alas, been entirely appropriated by two large resort hotels, which barely tolerate footloose passers-by, as I was, even though the Gargano promontory (the "spur" of the Italian "boot") is supposed to be a National Park

I have airbrushed the only building of this sprawling compound one could see under this angle, trying to restore the bay its natural beauty

Scarborough Beach, Western Australia, at Sunrise
We started our Western Australian road trip at Scarborough, which is north of Perth. I was lucky to start the first day with this view. Being based on the East Coast of Australia I don’t get to see this perspective of the sunrise often so today was an enjoyable moment. I didn’t have my camera on me so this was taken with my iPhone.

Nova Scotia Sunset
Brier Island, at the very tip of Digby Neck, is one of the westernmost points in Nova Scotia, so you’re looking straight out over the open Atlantic as the sun sets.
Western Light (Brier Island Lighthouse) is the classic spot — you’ll see the sky blaze orange and purple while the waves crash against the black basalt cliffs.

Day at the beach
A tranquil moment at Waikiki Beach, rendered in soft pastel tones inspired by the dreamy aesthetic of Teresa C Freitas. Rows of blue umbrellas and lounge chairs dot the sandy shore, inviting viewers into a serene escape where the sky and sea melt into one calming palette. This image captures the essence of leisure and light, turning a classic beach scene into a visual daydream.

North Bondi Beach Sunset, Bondi Beach, Sydney, NSW
© All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond ImagesThis image was taken on Sunday September 7th 2025 (Fathers Day) at North Bondi Beach. Earlier in the day there had been a protest event on Bondi Beach with a large group of Palestinian supporters waving flags having taken over central areas of the beach.
Along the concourse was an equally loud oppositional group of Israeli supporters chanting "off the beach".
As far as I know both sides were well behaved.A few weeks ago I purchased Luminar Neo for my iPhone and this is the second photo I've edited in that program. It's a bit different to my desktop equivalent and editing via a smaller screen is less appealing but the program could be useful when I'm travelling.

Kanai Beach — where turquoise waves meet timeless rock
À Kanai Beach, le bleu profond de l’océan se brise en éclats turquoise sur les rochers de corail. La plage, encore sauvage, dévoile un Okinawa préservé, loin de l’agitation touristique. Entre sable blanc, vagues translucides et végétation tropicale, ce paysage capture l’essence des îles Ryūkyū : un équilibre entre force minérale et douceur maritime.---------------------- English Version ----------------------------------------
At Kanai Beach, the deep blue of the ocean shatters into turquoise fragments against the coral rocks. The beach, still wild, reveals a preserved Okinawa, far from the bustle of tourism. Between white sand, translucent waves, and tropical vegetation, this landscape captures the essence of the Ryūkyū Islands: a balance between mineral strength and maritime softness.

2025-06-01 (03) Otranto. Spiaggia degli Haethei & Cappella della Madonna dell'Altomare
to be honest, there were more than 2 people on this beautiful beach facing the old city of Otranto enclosed in its medieval ramparts...
Photoshop "distraction removal" tool is very effective, erasing towels together with their owners, and it works better because this is not a lido blanketed with €50-per-day sunloungers, but a spiaggia libera (free beach, where people just sit on their towel), rare in such a prime location on italian coasts

ה HeTeach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,
that I may follow it to the end.
Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.
Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.
How I long for your precepts!
In your righteousness preserve my life.[Psalm 119:33-40 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!

Waimea
Waimea’s Golden Hour: Where Day Meets Dream 🌅As the sun dips low over Oahu’s north shore, Waimea Beach becomes a quiet stage for reflection and connection. Here, tourists linger in the amber light, silhouettes softened by the breaking waves and the gentle glow of a sky in transition.Rocky outcrops frame the scene, adding texture to the vast canvas of sea and sky. It’s the kind of moment that asks nothing but presence—where the remains of the day feel like a gift, and the horizon promises more than just tomorrow.
Jacksonville Beach, FL
Jesus Calms the StormThen he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”[Matthew 8:23-27 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.

Last weekend's walk at the beach to see the lunar eclipse didn't quite turn out as expected. Thanks to the clouds there was no trace of the moon whatsoever. But then again, it was a great walk and I simply loved the atmosphere. Unfamiliar territory though, high ISO, shooting RAW and all that. But the pictures didn't turn out too bad I think..

Summer Morning at Ocean Beach
Sunset Dunes is San Francisco's newest park. After decades of debate, San Francisco's voters voted to close the Great Highway, though the people closest to it voted to keep it open. The idea here is to let the dunes return toward their natural state, and to transform the Great Highway into paths for walkers, runners, and bicyclists.If you are coming to San Francisco with the idea of going to the beach, and perhaps checking out the water, make sure to bring a warm jacket. (No flowers in your hair in this part of San Francisco.)You can clearly see the marine layer here, as well as the absence of beachgoers.
