Travel theme: Horizons – There is a quality of light in the sky as you approach the sea which is apparent long before you arrive at the coast. It is this I remember from long ago summer holidays, summers when the sands were too hot to walk on barefoot.

Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside
I do like to be beside the sea!
I do like to stroll along the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play:
“Tiddely-om-pom-pom!”
So just let me be beside the seaside
I’ll be beside myself with glee
And there’s lots of girls beside,
I should like to be beside
Beside the seaside!
Beside the sea!

A very well known music hall song in the UK dating from 1907. My very favourite place too, particularly if there is a links golf course 🙂
One day they will also return and feel nostalgic.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven – Turn, turn, turn.
Many thanks for the regular comments Julie – I think I would worry about you if they stopped coming. All the best, R
You’re very welcome, Robin. I very much appreciate the time you spend reading my work, too.
Outstanding photos. Clear and crisp and very appealing.
Many thanks – all down to the fabulous lens on the Fuji X100s
It is incredible that lens!!!! (And the eye behind, of course!!!)…Beautiful beautiful shots!!!!
Easier to sing along to than that Doves track, Robin 🙂 🙂
And lovely shots too.
Thanks Jo. A fine song but not a good version – Jimi Goodwin should sue 🙂

C’est magnifique! ❤
