Wild Wild Life, Sydney
So this is Athol Beach in the Sydney Harbour National Park.A truly wild beach which is less than 6 kilometres from the heart of the busy Sydney CBD.You can access this beach by parking your car at the Bradleys Head car-park, and walking along the Bradleys Head Forest Walking Track. Then you have to clamber down a steep ravine of rocks to reach the sand - it's an adventure!!And so here is the legendary 'Talking Heads' with their song 'Wild Wild Life': www.youtube.com/watch?v=616-QGQyx-IMy Canon EOS 5D Mk IV with the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.Processed in Adobe Lightroom.

Bones of the Coast
On a remote beach of Maui, sun-bleached driftwood and fallen trees stand like silent sculptures shaped by time. Gentle waves wash over the sand while the sky fades into soft pastel tones, creating a moment suspended between motion and stillness. A minimalist coastal scene where raw nature meets calm — Hawaii stripped down to its essence, quiet, untamed, and timeless.

Kelp on the beach, Great Ocean Road
Seaweed washed ashore on a quiet beach along the Great Ocean Road. Soft morning light, gentle waves and raw textures of sand, water and kelp. A minimal moment showing the calmer, less photographed side of Australia’s southern coast.

Low Tide at Eastern Wharf, Scotland Island, Church Point, Sydney, NSW
Copyright - All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond ImagesThis image shows Eastern Wharf though we accessed Scotland Island via the Tennis Court Wharf in early January 2026 and stayed just 3 days, which proved ample, though a longer stay could easily be more than justified. Our air B&B, Scotland Island Lodge, was excellent with its location just a hundred metres from Tennis Court Wharf. Eastern Wharf was also just a few hundred metres from the Air B&B but the access was downhill via many steps, the return journey being quite steep and, perhaps somewhat arduous for the unfit. This tranquil, forested island is just across the Pittwater from Church Point on the mainland. Church Point is reached by following a loop road heading west along Mona Vale Road into Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and on to Terry Hills in Sydney's northern districts.We parked our car at the large public car park, right beside the Pittwater, at Church Point and paid the not insubstantial parking fees for our 3 days and walked the short distance to the ferry. For anyone contemplating visiting Scotland Island its worth checking out the parking situation before your arrival as this parking lot fills very quickly and on street parking is often limited, especially in the summer months.The island has countless jetties and wharves, many privately owned and not accessible to the public.There are five public wharves on the island though, they are - Bell, Carols, Eastern, Tennis and Cargo. From these wharves its possible to catch a ferry and circumnavigate the island while also visiting several other wharves on the mainland.It is also possible to walk around most of the island, but only at low tide. A few property owners have however made circumnavigation difficult by placing obstructions to discourage walkers.There are however roads on the island which do circle the island though back from the water 100 metres or so. Most vehicles used by residents are electric or diesel ATV's, though roads are wide enough for trucks to operate for garbage removal and other island maintenance purposes.Despite the inconveniences of needing to access the island by private boat or public ferry or water taxis most of the residents we spoke to assured us this was not a problem for them. We spoke to many long term residents who said they absolutely love living on the island. We also could not help but notice just how friendly the people were.Scotland Island may not be for everyone, but if real estate values tell you anything, there are plenty of cashed up people who do want to avail themselves of the opportunity to live on this peaceful and paradise like island, and just relatively a short distance from the Sydney CBD

Sendai City 仙台市
Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

DFC_1176: A small red and green motorboat with three passengers cruises across calm coastal waters with a modern city skyline and sandy beach in the background.
The photo shows a bright red long-tail boat navigating across a bay or harbor. The boat has a distinctive elongated shape with a blue canopy covering part of it, and appears to have people aboard. In the background, you can see the skyline of what looks like a coastal city with numerous high-rise buildings and skyscrapers lining the shore. The water has a grayish tone, suggesting it might be an overcast day with some clouds visible in the sky above. This scene appears to be from Southeast Asia, possibly Thailand or another coastal city in that region where these types of boats are commonly used for transportation, tourism, or fishing.

Clifton Beach at Karachi, Pakistan - January 2019
Sadly large stretches of the beach are strewn with litter but luckily I found one section that was cleaner. It is a shame that so much little is on the beach. Most of that probably gets washed out to sea and ends up in the food cycle.

Why deny the obvious child?

Zen and the art of wave watching
Mother Nature using her hired help - the ocean - to lay out a fresh carpet of pebbles at Fraser Beach in Munmorah State Recreation Area. Another favourite of mine .… along with the other 1,000 beaches I’ve wandered across ;)I went to pop this into the 100x group, only to be told I can’t add anything else. Apparently I’ve already hit 100 for the year. I could’ve sworn this was #100, but I’ve never been great at adding without a calculator. Or even with one. Beaches tend to make you forget things like maths. And time. And worries. And basically everything!So here it is: tada .... the unofficial waterscape 100 of 100 in 2025. I probably won’t post another waterscape now until… oh, maybe Friday.Fun fact: Some beaches have “singing pebbles” - stones that actually hum or make musical tones when waves wash over them. There are beaches in the UK and Norway where locals claim you can hear the shore “singing” on a calm day. I think this is nature's rock concert ;)Thanks as always for stopping by, your visits and comments are always appreciated!

This photo features a bald man sitting in a lounge chair, smiling and holding a laptop computer. He appears to be enjoying his time outdoors, possibly at a beach or a relaxing location. The man is wearing a green shirt and sunglasses, which adds to the casual and laid-back atmosphere of the scene. The laptop is placed on his lap, and he seems to be engaged in some activity or content on the screen.

DSC_3842: A family sits by the waterfront at sunset, watching the sky and sea glow as the palm tree sways nearby.
This photo captures a beautiful beach scene with a family of three sitting on a bench overlooking the ocean. They are enjoying the view and the sunset together. There are two adults and a child in the family, with one person on the left side of the bench, another in the middle, and the child on the right side. In addition to the family, there are two boats visible in the ocean, one closer to the left side and the other further away on the right side. A handbag can be seen placed on the ground near the bench, likely belonging to one of the family members.

Fishing the Outer Banks - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina
Sitting on the beach in the Outer Banks, this scene just captured my attention...some neighbors were shore fishing with the pole seen in the foreground while no less than three different (and maybe a 4th) boat was just offshore fishing as well. While I know that they were actually fishing for aquatic game, it still is a perfect picture of what we as humans are called to in Matthew chapter 4..."While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he (Jesus) saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him." -- Matthew 4:18-20-- Technical Information (or Nerdy Stuff) -- ‧ Camera – Nikon D7200 (handheld) ‧ Lens – Nikkor 18-300mm Zoom ‧ ISO – 320 ‧ Aperture – f/5.6 ‧ Exposure – 1/2000 second ‧ Focal Length – 145mmThe original RAW file was processed with Adobe Camera Raw and final adjustments were made with 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/

DSC_6366: A lone palm frames a peaceful shoreline, with a pier and distant waterfront buildings under a clear blue sky.
This photo features a beautiful beach scene with a palm tree standing near the water's edge. The palm tree is located on the left side of the image, and its fronds are spread out, providing shade and a relaxing atmosphere. The beach is situated next to a pier, which is visible in the background. In the distance, there is a large building, possibly a hotel or a residential structure, overlooking the beach and the water. The combination of the palm tree, the beach, the pier, and the building creates a picturesque and inviting scene.

DSC_7245: Smiling woman with vibrant red hair and sunglasses perched on her head, turning to enjoy a moment at the beach.
This photo features a woman with red hair and a pink shirt, wearing sunglasses and smiling. She is standing in a park-like setting, surrounded by trees. The woman appears to be enjoying her time outdoors, possibly posing for a picture.

DFC_4017: Shaded loungers and colorful umbrellas line a quiet sandy beach, framing a calm blue sea under a clear sky.
This photo shows a beautiful beach scene with colorful umbrellas or beach tents set up on white sand. The umbrellas have red and white striped patterns, creating a cheerful atmosphere at the shore. There are beach chairs arranged under the shade of these umbrellas, offering a comfortable place for beachgoers to relax. In the background, you can see the clear blue ocean waters stretching to the horizon beneath a bright, cloudless blue sky. The scene appears to be during daytime with excellent weather conditions. The pathway between the two rows of umbrellas creates a natural walkway leading directly to the water. This looks like a picturesque tropical beach destination where visitors can enjoy sun, sand, and sea.

Surf Tongue in Sri Lanka
The wave patterns of the surf never cease to fascinate me. On my daily morning walks along the beach, I often stop and study the formation, spread and mutual influence of the various wave fronts, both large and small. According to Schrödinger's equation, the physical world of matter corresponds in a certain way to the play of these water waves. The image again makes use of ICM elements, but I have taken the wave front sharply from a normal photograph.
