Dragons at sunset

The Westerly wind blew in kitesurfers to my beach.
Like dragons with colorful wings they scooted along the shore occasionally taking flight.

There was an angel among them and at the end of the day she carried her wings when the wind dropped.

Beach dream ride

The mesmerizing feeling of riding your horse on an empty beach at low tide; like in a dream.
Horse or horse-power; to each their own.

January late afternoon on the beach

While some of my friends are enjoying (or hating?) winter in the Northern hemisphere I get the pleasure to walk barefoot on a sandy beach in Queensland.

I never tire of a walk before dark, sometimes I am gifted with a spectacular sunset.

Before the rain

There was rain in those clouds but nothing could get in the way for an evening run on the beach.

Australia Day weekend attracted a lot of people to spend time with their family, outdoors.

Only in Australia

Only in Australia you will have wild kangaroos keeping you company when fishing on the beach :-)

Beach puddle

Every tide shapes the beach with new sand waves, renewing the shore to a new texture.

Foreshore playground

There is a dog friendly beach that I like to visit at sunset.
Not all dogs like to chase balls and retrieve sticks, some are just happy to stroll or go for a swim.

Infinity pool

Maybe just a bit cooler than the one at the luxury hotel this pool features natural sea water and no crowds, ever.

Sand pellets

The mesmerizing craft of the sand bubbler crabs.

Catamaran

She came, fast, across the bay, carried by the wind.
In the late afternoon sun, silently, landing on the beach at low tide.

Wet-Dry: Italian word for the foreshore where the waves meet the beach.
