I love the sea in all its moods, tide in, tide out, early morning and evening. When I lived away from the sea I felt a visceral need to be at the coast and had a poster of John Masefield’s poem, ‘I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky….. ‘ on the wall in my office.
I am away from home at the moment and have only a few sea photos available to share, taken from the same spot, a daytime tide out shot and some evening at sunset, tide right in shots where the sunset appeared to be setting the sea on fire.

This could easily be along a stretch of the Southern California coast where I once lived. I had to do a double-take. Lovely shots. Thank you.

Thank you for your complimentary comments. We went down the Big Sur a few years ago and thought how similar the two coastlines were. 🙂

How can anyone not appreciate someone who had “I told you I was ill!” on his headstone! Beautiful pictures. I miss the ocean.

So beautiful and stunning pictures of the sea. It is healing my pain of longing an ocean since I live so far away from the sea. Thank you so much 🙂

Stunning photos and how I understand this constant yearning and appreciation for the sea! They’ve been my companion forever…

It is a pull as strong as the tide itself. 🙂

These are beautiful images of the sea, capturing the colours. I now live as far away from the sea as possible in the UK and I miss it so very much.

Thank you for your appreciation. I hope the photos help a little but they may just make your longing, which I so understand, even greater…. :
All the best to you and yours 🙂

I think whoever wrote that post must live in a very boring place or he hasn’t seen your blog or visited Alex’s site!

Your images are fantastic, Sally. I find myself so drawn to them. Like you, I love the sea. I think I may have said this before, but I often think that my relationship to the sea has the features of Emily Bronte’s relationship to the Moors. I have withdrawal symptoms when I’m away from it too long.

A lovely set, particularly the light on the breaking waves.
