DSC_7795: a woman standing on the side of a road next to a car
This photograph captures a young woman posing outdoors at dusk, with a stunning coastal landscape serving as the backdrop. She has long dark hair and is dressed in a pink and white gingham-patterned crop top with thin straps, paired with dark denim jeans. She stands confidently with one hand resting on her hip and the other raised to touch her hair, a watch visible on her wrist. Behind her, the calm sea stretches toward distant mountainous islands silhouetted against a sky painted in soft hues of pink, orange, and blue from the setting sun. A car is partially visible to her left, and patches of green grass can be seen along the roadside, suggesting the photo was taken at a scenic overlook along the coast in Sattahip, Chon Buri Province, Thailand.

DSC_7769: Golden sun dips below the horizon as boats drift on calm waters and a lone swimmer enjoys the tranquil evening.
This serene photograph captures a tranquil sunset over the coastal waters of Ban Chang in Rayong Province, Thailand. The golden-orange sun hangs low on the horizon, casting a warm glow that bleeds into the wispy, layered clouds streaking across the sky in shades of peach, pink, and soft gray. Several small fishing boats are silhouetted on the calm sea, drifting peacefully on the gentle waters. To the right, a distant headland with buildings juts out into the bay, while a lone swimmer can be seen enjoying the quiet evening swim. In the foreground, soft waves lap onto the sandy beach, completing this peaceful scene of coastal Thai life at dusk.

DSCN0931.JPG: a woman in a bikini walking into the water
This photograph captures a woman wading through shallow, calm water at a beach in Pattaya City, Thailand. She is wearing a dark bikini and has her hair pulled back, walking with a relaxed, mid-stride posture as small splashes form around her legs. The water appears clear and tranquil, with gentle ripples reflecting the bright daylight, creating a serene tropical atmosphere. The photo is taken from a side angle, emphasizing her movement through the water and the peaceful, sunlit seascape that fills the background.

DSC_6324: Sunny day on the city beach - palm trees, colorful umbrellas and skyline views along the shoreline.
This photo depicts a lively beach scene with a large city skyline in the background. Several people are enjoying their time on the beach, with some sitting under umbrellas and others standing or walking around. There are at least 12 people visible in the scene, scattered across the beach. There are three umbrellas providing shade for beachgoers, with one located near the center of the scene, another towards the right side, and the third one further to the left. The beach is also adorned with a few chairs, with one near the center and another closer to the right side of the image. The beach is bustling with activity, and the presence of the city skyline in the distance adds to the overall atmosphere of a vibrant and enjoyable day at the beach.

DSCN1054.JPG: A young man in patterned swim trunks stands on the back of a yellow-and-white Yamaha jet ski as it floats in calm, shallow water.
This photograph captures a young, shirtless man standing on the back of a Yamaha jet ski in the calm, shallow waters off Pattaya, Thailand. He wears colorful patterned swim trunks and balances barefoot on the watercraft, gripping the handlebars while looking out toward the sea with his back to the camera. The jet ski features a sleek white body with a vibrant yellow seat and black accents, prominently displaying the Yamaha branding on its side. A rope extends from the back of the jet ski into the water, and a line of orange buoys floats in the background, marking off a swimming or boating zone. The serene blue-green water and soft lighting suggest the photo was taken during a quiet moment, perhaps in the early morning or late afternoon, evoking a relaxed coastal atmosphere typical of Thailand's popular beach destinations.

Plage de La Bouverie
Marie walking back from the sea at the wide open Atlantic beach north of the Dordogne estuary in France. This distant shot gives an idea of the scasle of the beach. A short distance north from the fashionable and busy resort town of Royan, the beach is clothes-optional and, even in the summer season not crowded except at some accessible points such as "Plage du Vieux Phare" (Old Lighthouse Beach) which can be seen in the distance. Being very flat, the tide comes in and out scarily fast and, going out, can creating dangerous off-shore currents from baïnes, the channels that drain large pools like the one behind M – people swimming past can be rapidly swept out to sea if they are not aware of them.

DSCN0944.JPG: A woman in a visor and wetsuit stands waist-deep in calm blue water, holding a clear plastic cup near a jet ski.
A woman with vibrant red hair pulled back stands waist-deep in calm, clear blue-green water, wearing a black wetsuit with a blue stripe and a beige sun visor. She holds a clear plastic cup in one hand while her other hand is raised near her face. To her right, the front portion of a white and green jet ski (marked "GT") floats on the water's surface. The lighting suggests a bright, sunny day, and the tranquil water ripples gently around her, creating a serene tropical scene reminiscent of a beach resort setting.

DSCN1009.JPG: Two people in orange life jackets ride a blue inflatable banana boat being towed by a jet ski, with a red speedboat visible in the distance.
This photo captures a lively beach scene in Pattaya City, Thailand, showcasing popular water sports activities. In the foreground, two people wearing bright orange life jackets are seated on a blue inflatable banana boat with green ends, preparing for a ride across the calm turquoise water. The banana boat is connected to a jet ski operated by a guide wearing a cap and an orange life vest, who appears ready to tow the riders. In the background, a sleek red and white speedboat marked "SaBina" with the number "060" floats on the gentle sea, adding to the recreational atmosphere. The hazy sky and tranquil waters create a relaxed, tropical vacation ambiance typical of this well-known Thai coastal destination.

Stranded.
Physalia utriculus, also called bluebottle or Indo-Pacific Portuguese man o' war, is found in the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. A gas-filled bladder allows it to float on the surface, propelled by currents, tides, and by a sail at the top of the bladder. A single long tentacle of venomous cnidocytes, hanging below the float, provides the animal with a means of capturing prey. They can cause painful injuries to humans when encountered at beaches, on which they are sometimes stranded in large numbers.

DSCN1069.JPG: A small speedboat numbered 056 pulled up on the shore as a passenger climbs aboard, life jackets secured inside and the sea stretching into the distance.
This photograph captures a moment at the beach in Na Chom Thian, Sattahip District, Chon Buri Province, Thailand, where a small white speedboat numbered "056" is pulled up close to the shore in shallow water. A passenger wearing dark clothing is climbing aboard the vessel, gripping the side for balance, while bright orange life jackets are visible hanging and stacked inside the boat's canopied seating area. The speedboat features a colorful design with red, blue, and yellow striping along its hull, and is powered by a Yamaha outboard motor mounted at the stern. A flag flutters from the top of the canopy, and in the hazy background, several other boats can be seen dotting the calm sea that stretches toward the horizon, suggesting this is a popular spot for boat tours or transportation to nearby islands.

DSC_6302: An old tractor parked on a sandy beach road with palm trees and seaside shops in the background.
This photo features a large tractor with a green canopy parked on a dirt road. The tractor is situated in front of a building, possibly a beachside restaurant or a tent. The tractor appears to be an old-fashioned, rustic vehicle, and it is positioned in the center of the scene. There are several people in the vicinity, with one person standing close to the tractor, another person further back, and two more people on the right side of the scene. The presence of these individuals suggests that they might be attending an event or gathering near the tractor and the building.

DFC_5305: Evening calm at Klet Kaeo, a small motorboat rests near the shore as swimmers and distant city towers fade into the twilight.
This photo shows several small fishing or recreational boats moored in shallow coastal waters near a beach. The main boat in the foreground appears to be a white fishing vessel with an outboard motor and some equipment or canopy structures on top. There are other colorful boats visible in the background, including what looks like a green and yellow boat. The scene is set against a backdrop of a city skyline with tall buildings visible in the distance across the water. The sky appears overcast or hazy, giving the photo a muted, grayish tone. There are a few people visible in the water, likely fishermen or boat operators. This appears to be taken at a fishing village or small harbor area, with the boats anchored in the shallow waters close to shore. The setting suggests this is somewhere along Thailand's coast, given the location information, possibly near Pattaya or the surrounding coastal areas of Chon Buri Province.

Mycale beach on Samos Isl., Greece
This is a color photograph from above of the Mycale beach on Samos Island, Greece. On the right lies the Mycale Strait which separates Samos Isl., Greece from Turkey or Türkiye. The strait is only 1.6 km wide (0.86 nautical miles or 5,249 ft) at its narrowest point. The naval “Battle of Mycale” was won here by the Greeks not once, but twice: in 479 B.C. against the Persians and in August 1824 AD against the Ottoman Turks.

Atlantic Beach, Florida
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin. Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them. You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. [Psalm 32:5-7 NIV] 5 MORE 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!

DSC_6921: A sunny day at a spacious beachfront resort and golf clubhouse, with palm trees lining the green lawn and a row of golf carts parked beneath the building's wide balconies.
This photograph captures a sprawling beachfront resort and golf clubhouse in Si Racha District, Chon Buri Province, Thailand, on a bright sunny day under a clear blue sky. The expansive multi-story building features wide balconies, large windows, and a distinctive blue-tiled roof, with tall palm trees framing the structure on either side. A row of golf carts is neatly parked beneath the building's covered ground level, ready for guests to use on the course. In the foreground, a vast, well-manicured green lawn stretches out, while a small gazebo with a peaked roof sits to the right near a paved pathway that curves around the property. The combination of tropical landscaping, open space, and resort architecture creates a relaxed, leisurely atmosphere typical of an upscale golf and beach destination.

DSCN1040.JPG: Evening calm, a lone jet ski rests near the shore as the sun dips behind the hillside.
This serene evening photograph captures a tranquil coastal scene in Pattaya, Thailand, likely along one of the beaches in the Bang Lamung area. A lone jet ski sits quietly in the calm, shallow water near the sandy shore, silhouetted against the soft, fading light. In the background, a large hillside covered in dark vegetation rises along the coastline, its silhouette stark against the pale, hazy sky as the sun sets behind it. A few figures can be faintly seen along the beach to the right, adding a subtle human presence to the otherwise peaceful setting. The gentle ripples on the water's surface and the muted color palette of soft blues, grays, and silhouetted blacks evoke a quiet, contemplative end to the day.

DSC_6824: A young boy laughing as waves splash around his legs while he plays at the shoreline.
A young boy stands at the shoreline of a beach in Klet Kaeo, Sattahip District, laughing joyfully as frothy white waves crash and splash around his legs. He's wearing a black t-shirt with a yellow graphic design and rolled-up denim shorts, his dark hair slightly tousled from the sea breeze. The water churns energetically around him, creating a dynamic display of foam and spray against the wet, sandy shore. Behind him, the darker blue-gray ocean stretches out with gentle waves rolling in, while warm sunlight illuminates the scene, capturing a perfect moment of childhood delight at the seaside.

DZ6_1010: A lively group of friends posing together on a bustling, neon-lit street at night, dressed up for a fun night out.
This photo shows a nighttime scene at what appears to be an outdoor bar or nightclub area. A large group of people is posing together in stylish outfits, primarily wearing dark-colored dresses and formal attire. They're standing in front of a venue with colorful lighting and a covered structure that has string lights hanging above. The setting looks like it might be at a beach club or resort area, with neon signs visible in the background. The vibrant lighting creates a festive nightlife atmosphere. The venue appears to have an open-air design typical of tropical or warm-weather entertainment districts.

DSC_3512: Watching the sun melt into the horizon, lost in the calm of the sea and the colors of dusk.
This evocative photograph captures a serene moment at sunset along the coast of Pattaya City, Thailand. A woman is seen from behind in silhouette, her long dark hair flowing gently in the sea breeze as she raises one hand to her head. She wears glasses and a thin-strapped top, her profile faintly illuminated by the warm, fading light. The sun hangs low on the horizon, glowing a soft orange-pink as it begins to melt into the calm sea, casting a shimmering reflection across the rippling water. The sky transitions from warm hues near the horizon to softer pastels above, creating a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere that perfectly embodies the peaceful stillness of dusk by the ocean.

DSC_2728: Smiling woman with red hair relaxing outdoors in a patterned swimsuit, looking confidently at the camera.
This is a close-up portrait of a woman with vibrant red hair posing outdoors, likely at a beach or poolside resort. She has warm, tan skin and is looking directly at the camera with a soft, confident smile. Her hand is raised to her head, casually running through her long red hair, which falls over her shoulder. She's wearing a swimsuit with a patterned strap visible at her chest, suggesting an animal or geometric print. Her makeup is subtle, featuring defined eyebrows and a touch of pink on her lips. The background is softly blurred, showing hints of blue and white that suggest people and structures in the distance, creating a relaxed vacation atmosphere. The natural lighting gives the photo a warm, sunlit quality typical of a tropical setting.

Half Moon Bay near Heysham in Lancashire, England - March 2018
www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-west-england/lancashire/hey... Half Moon Bay stretches from the wall of Heysham Harbour up the coast to the Heritage Centre at Lower Heysham. At high tide the beach is fairly small, flanked by rocks and backed by grassy hills. At low tide however, a vast expanse of sand and mudflats are exposed. The beach has views across Morecambe Bay and towards the Lakeland fells. Closer by, the view is dominated by the chimneys of Heysham Power Station. A ferry service to the Isle of Man runs from the harbour at Heysham. The area has been inhabited since the Stone Age and there are numerous sites close to the beach which are of archaeological interest. Close to the Heritage Centre, which is housed in a picturesque 17th century farmhouse, lie the ruins of St Patrick’s Chapel, thought to date back to the 8th century. At nearby Heysham head are some stone graves which were once used for the cover of an album by Black Sabbath. Morecambe Bay is notorious for its fast-moving tides and shifting sands. Avoid walking far out at low tide without an experienced guide.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.

A small white motorboat with a red-trimmed hull speeds toward the shore across calm blue waters, kicking up a frothy white spray around its bow and trailing a V-shaped wake behind it. The boat appears to be heading directly toward the camera, with a canopy shading its cockpit area. In the distance, faint mountain silhouettes are visible along the horizon under a hazy, pale blue sky, while what looks like a floating structure or buoy sits to the right in the background.
