We live on a peninsula here in White Rock, and have access to two public beaches, White Rock beach is a glamorous beautiful beach. Although it makes for some spectacular shots, it is my summer beach.
Crescent beach is my winter beach, where life is more relaxed. This is my favorite beach to walk on during a windy day. A cold northwest wind tickles your back, eagerly searching for space between your jacket, and sweater. When you leave, your cheeks flood with warmth as your car navigates the winding road back from the beach.
I take winter shots on this beach, with the diffused light coming over miles of water it has a ethereal feel to it. The gray sand reaching under the waves monochromatic, but fascinating.
Colorless seagulls shrill in the winds, the benches are bereft of visitors. A good lonely place.
It looks lovely. I was thinking of visiting Canada next year especially after seeing all the lovely pictures on Canadian bloggers posts but unfortunately the flights from the UK are just too expensive for me at the moment

Oh this is a grand post! There is beauty in the quiet of the winter beach. I like the pebbles.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so pretty. I really love the shot of purple at the end.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the beaches in the winter! I grew up on Whidbey and had a ton of 'secret' places to go and enjoy the peaceful solitude the beaches gave me!
