This week’s Photo Challenge is Sea.
On the broad windswept beaches of England’s North Sea coast, the presence of the sea really forces itself upon your attention…
(Norfolk, England, August 2001)
A second Sea post is here.

The chill goes with the wide open spaces, somehow…

I did not have a kayak there… and even if I had, I agree that it does not look all that inviting…

I’ve only been to Europe once and it was Ireland. The view of the sea from Inch and from the Cliffs of Moher was beautiful.

This is very different. Instead of cliffs and big swells breaking, this has endless sands and furiously churning little waves…

Yes it is very calm

This challenge cpould have been meant for you! I didn’t expect the North Sea though.
Do you know of a BBC series called Coast? I think you’d enjoy it. Programme 1 of series 1 got me hooked. :)

That’s the Atlantic I know and love! Great grey sea and deliciously glowering skiees.

It’s the North Sea, which is quite a bit different, in look and feel, from the Atlantic on the west coast of Britain and Ireland… and the grey waters and glowering skies are its distinct hallmark :-)
