I love the days the sea is showing in all shades of bue/green, this is how it looks at midday.



Forgot to add uploaded photos in Miscelleneous hoping LLL sees them.

Very nice Kiya and thank you for thinking about LLL's problem Hopefully her problem is now sorted out thanks to Keefy's persistance.

Thanks Kiya - I'm just seeing these now. I usually check "View New Posts" and right now am finding that I've missed several posts cause they were never put under the "View New Posts" button.

Nice photos and great colours too. It is amazing how the colours of water changes and can look different at different times.

In Canada there is a lake at Lake Louise, Alberta - it is always turquoise and everybody takes pictures of it. Very different but lovely.

[Kiya]

I think at the moment LLL the sea is changing by the hour

I would love to see some photos of your lake

[Grandad]

I also like the changing colour of the sea but I like it (the sea) most when it is at its wildest, crashing against harbour walls and throwing spray high into the air. Dangerous but dramatic.

As we are talking seaside here, perhaps you won't mind if I add a few pics to your thread Kiya.

Digressing a little; on our way back from Luxor in March I saw a picture in the Squ'Easyjet in flight magazine of a beach scene at Botany Bay in Kent. It showed a pillar of white chalk sitting isolated on the sandy beach. We have many sandy beaches around the East Kent coast but I had not heard of Botany Bay. On Wednesday morning we set out to find it. True enough, there is a tapered pillar of chalk but it is amongst other free standing columns and I have to assume that the picture in the magazine had been 'doctored' to make it look rather different than it really does.

Here are a few pictures of the beach at Botany Bay with the last one of the best angle I could find of the chalk pillar featured in the magazine.

Grandad, is that actually sand on that beach? Makes a change from pebbles! Lovely photos!

[Kiya]

Grandad.... no problem at all, I'd love to see others sea scenes

You would think by now I would have some dramatic scenes like the ones you mention Grandad but if I dared go out I'd be blown away

I have seen pictures of Botany Bay but cannot remember where at at the moment

Love your photos ot the rocks, just the kind I would like to take too

Grandad.......btw..... was looking yesterday at Canterbury Cathedral on 3D maps on google, its great to see the workmanship of the cathedral so close up someday I'll get down there

[Kiya]

This is how its looking this aftn (Sat)

Caught this elderly gent admiring the view from my bench

[Grandad]

That's me Kiya. I've been waiting for you to come out and say hello. I can see you through your window

Grandad, is that actually sand on that beach? Makes a change from pebbles!

CHEEKY RS I know most of my local coastal pictures feature pebble beaches and groynes, but we DO have many nice sandy bays, some large, some very small. But we keep them to ourselves and don't tell everyone about them

[Kiya]

Ha Ha Grandad & a good Scottish cuppa as well

I wouldn't be surprised if you see me through my window that google maps thingy I was right up at all my front windows yest with it

[LovelyLadyLux]

Lovely sharp tall cliffs, rocks there Grandad AND - WOW SAND! Niceeeeeee. The only thing that could be better with your photos is after a few more centuries when the waves wear away the bottom of those rocks giving them a more top heavy look.

And Kiya - your view is really BRIGHT today. Lovely nice green grass compared to the blue. Am sure Grandad will enjoy his cuppa out there while he is admiring the water

[Kiya]

A beautiful couple of sunny days we've had up here I wonder if it's the calm before the storm

Beautiful sunset last night 1/6/13 the first I've seen in a while

[LovelyLadyLux]

Ohhhhh wowwwww - that IS a lovely sunset. Quite striking colours too. If you had a program that really deepened and brightened each colour you could have one of those psychadelic kalidoscopes.......

Love shot of the clouds though - hope today for you is/has (time zone changes) a great one. I'm at 69 degrees already at 9am, sun is out and there is no wind Gonna be a good one.

[Grandad]

Nice one Kiya I think the weather is a little more settled so you might get some more....about time too

[Kiya]

Your right Grandad here is another from last night, its beautiful today again so I'll be keeping a look out tonight

[LovelyLadyLux]

Looking niceeeeeee. Hope your weather is wonderful today too! Sun is out here and the day is promising to be a good one!

[Kiya]

Another beautiful sunset last night 6/6/13

[Ruby Slippers]

These photos are worthy of calendars! Grandad, the reason I mentioned about the sand as opposed to pebbles is because I find it difficult to find sandy beaches in Kent!

[LovelyLadyLux]

They definitely are worthy of calendars. You got another great shot Kiya!

[Grandad]

Next time you are coming this way RS I will let you into a few secret locations

Another great sunset Kiya.....but I am a little confused.....living on the east coast, how do you get such good pics of the sun setting in the west Or are you on a point? Just interested.
