Another stunning collection of images to accompany your writing! The image of the boy (?) jumping into the water (he looked like he was flying) reminds me of the joy of playing in the surf at the beach. You have made me wonder if I should plan a beach trip in Hong Kong soon!
Some wonderful and contemplative photos. The third photo has so much going on and the penultimate one is a perfectly composed, thoughtful image. Lovely colours too.
We are so blessed to be living in a country with a huge coastline. Such beautiful metaphors Shital! Also loved the observations of your lens. Great read all in all!
I love it when you focus on the little stories happening along the beach, especially the boys playing in the crashing, churning waves on shore. Such exuberance!
The one thing that I miss the most since moving from England to Toronto is easy access to the sea. Yes, we have Lake Ontario on our doorstep but it’s not nearly the same. We have to fly to get to the coast from where we now live, but it’s so worth it when we get there. There’s nothing more cathartic than walking along a sandy beach, listening to the waves crashing and breathing in salty sea air.

"the beach is a metaphor for the impermanence in life"
True! It's always there, but it is never quite the same as it was before.
Yes it’s always changing and evolving into something new. Thank you for stopping by Kevin.
You have truly captured the tapestry in your photographs.
Thank you very much Monica
Really beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks much Susan

I really like the image of the man, the child and the dog. A always, lovely post, Shital!
Thanks so much Juliette. I liked the way the father and his daughter stood together watching the ocean.

Thank you Mark. I understand as I miss the ocean too. I have to travel to enjoy these moments as well. But it’s totally worth it!
Beaches are intriguing. Back in Belgium I have been working the same stretch of beach myself for years now. (https://amatterofseeing.substack.com/p/fishing-for-light-in-the-surf)
Thanks Geert! I just checked out your images. Thank you for sharing.
