The 31st of January that year was dark and gloomy.
In other words, a very beautiful winter day.
The photographs I'm presenting today were taken on the stretch of coastline a couple of kilometers from the village of Shishan, about nine or ten kilometers from my hometown.
Despite what the atmosphere shown in these shots suggests ...
... the weather wasn't cold.
It wasn't warm either, to be true, but it was ... I don't know ... comfortable could be the right word.
The wind was pretty strong.
The waves were big ...
... and beautiful.
Among the white crests of those waves, I noticed a brown line that probably has something to do with algae or something similar.
The foam looked like snow in some inlets.
A friend was there with me.
The small human figure helped me accentuate the greatness and the wild beauty of the coastal landscape.
At one point, I came closer to the foam in the shallows ...
... to take a better look at the bubbles.
I found some nice colors there.
Great stuff to spice up a bit the already beautiful but pretty colorless atmosphere.
Before continuing with the wind and the sea, I'll show you two different photographs ...
... taken later that day. In the evening.
In this shot, I'm by the sea again.
I have many more photographs to show today ...
... but I don't know what else to write.
All the black & white shots were originally green like this one.
I changed them today ...
... to add a bit of diversity to the post.
Here you can see the landscape in all the colors that gloomy winter day had to offer.
I have also two blue shots for you today. This is the first one.
The second one ...
... is coming soon.
One more in black & white ...
... and then - another blue one.
Back in the car, before leaving the coast, I took a selfie in the rearview mirror.
AND THAT'S IT ...
... AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.
