Some seaside shots on a hot day.

Water, lots of water is the place to be on a hot day.

I call this a sunny silver ocean and there were a few people out enjoying the beach. Look at the delight of the child, and I wonder when last have you felt such delight?

Not only the sea, as I will show you some amazing shots of our way back in the second half of the post.

Nothing better than sitting on a verandah in the shade with a mug of coffee and breathing in the salty air at the seafront. Of course I had my second wife (my camera), with me and I decided to use her zoom to get a floating yacht that was way out on the ocean.
We now have the added burden of a heatwave in some parts of the province added to the four power cuts that we have every day.

Some birds were flying around and I waited to try and get them in the pictures, with the boat in the background.

Not too bad methinks, as at least every photo has a bird in it.

I saw this Moby Dick below headed for the harbor entrance.

And sadly, it was too far for me to get the two birds above the boat clearer.

Time to go home and I will show you some shots on our way back.

In the second half of the post, I will show you some sights, also all taken from the road that we were on. We live in a historical rural town that is surrounded by farms and smaller plots, that they call these days lifestyle farms. Very close to the sea and the smaller farms have a wide variety of activities that take place on them.
The bigger farms are mostly wine farms, but there are also citrus and other types of farms. Due to the semi Mediterranean climate, nature abounds and many plants grow here that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

A girl sat on a saddled horse in the photo at the right-hand side.

The day gradually started to darken, but there were some great sights from the road that we traveled on.

Closer to home the sunset started to paint the skies.

And finally, just a closer look at the windswept clouds at the top of the mountain.

I wanted to keep this post as peaceful as possible, so that it could hopefully evoke a dreamy sensation in the readers. Beauty is inherent inside all of us on this planet and we always have the choice of accepting or rejecting the beauty. Yes, I know that the world fills our minds with the things of the world, but at times one can just spare a few minutes, or an hour to reflect on the beauty of the Galaxy, or of nature.

The choice is always ours, or what say ye!

And That's All Fiends.
