34°C this afternoon. That's just mad.
And so I looked for some photos with nice, cool water. :-)
Sunshine and pretty green grass is a bonus. I would have loved to walk barefoot, but there were too much sheep droppings.
The fun thing about British coasts is that they never get boring with their mixture of sandy beaches and imposing cliffs.
The tide adds to the interesting atmosphere. In the distance, you can spot Bamburgh Castle.
And the other side, with the sun sparkling on the pools of water.
Or there will be mists coming in, drawing a cold veil over everything. Including the ruins of Scarborough Castle.
I especially love evenings at the beach. That one was so calm and relaxing; I just sat in the sand and watched the waves.
And then I walked a bit through the cold water - barefoot this time. A sweet change to rocks and pavement.
Or we get all wind and waves and drama. I love that, too.
I like this shot of the calm, mysterious water between the cliffs at Dunottar Castle.
All those photos are from the east coast, but I got some nice series from the west coast - mostly Scotland - as well. Those who are new(er) to my blog may check out these posts.
I love the view from the Dunottar Castle. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteWe have been struck by the very same calamity. The heat is simply unbearable. I prefer cold :-)
Gorgeous photos! The colors of the beach at Alnmouth remind me of the changing hues on the buildings in Siena & particularly Bologna, where I had my apt, so saw the city in every possible light from morning to night, from Sep through Feb. Magical is the only way to describe the transformation, which is, naturally, exactly what happens on the beaches & mountains.
