We came upon this quiet beach after visiting the ruins of Ephesus in Turkey. The tide was coming in and the skies were bluish white and gray with clouds scudding across the horizon. Since there was a heavy downpour the day before, with forecasts predicted more rain, the beach was totally deserted. It was great having the beach practically to ourselves, with no one in sight as far as the eye could see.
In Chinese there is a saying "people mountain people sea" as a description for extremely crowded places. This is no people, no mountain but only nice lovely sea. tQ.
I have a soft spot for beautiful beaches and chaotic skies. Beautiful captures! Thank you for stopping by my blog and I'll be back to explore yours more. Have a great weekend. Smiles
The weather is getting warmer here I feel like going the beach. I'm quite scared of big waves in the beach, just like in your pictures. Spare me, hehee!
I like the layers of colour in the first picture.

The sea was really choppy huh? Reminded me of my trip to Cervantes (Western Australia)last year. Cold with strong winds and the sea was really choppy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful beach & a beautiful sky!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF
That beach is inviting and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures. Love the blue sky, gray clouds and the shadows over the mountains.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
The last photos are so different. :)
ReplyDeleteThe focus is on the sticks and not on the sea. :p
ReplyDeleteThe beach looks secluded until I saw those sticks. What is that? Someone's artwork? To tell time?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach and pictures!! I love lonely beaches :)

AVCr8teur,
ReplyDeletei've no idea what the real purpose is. the sticks were probably used to fend off something?
Will definitely remind many of us that holidays are coming soon!
ReplyDeleteWonderful scenic shots. I especially like the shadows of the mysterious poles. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the beach when it doesn't have many or any other people there. This is a beautiful beach and great shots of it.
