TRAVEL | The Beach | Yoga Bal ...?

... walking further.. along the beach ... saw this guy doing yoga ... or just an ordinary stretches.... or cooling down exercise.... or perhaps practicing ballet...? ..

.. but there's a yoga mat near him ... hmmm... may be ... the feeling of the natural sand is much more satisfactory than the synthetic man-made material ....

.... n guess what ... he's wearing Crocs! .. hmmm... first .. the photographer's shoes... now ... even Yoga Bal is wearing it .... wooohooo!.... 79-15/8 x 23 + 2007 votes for Crocs! ....

TRAVEL | The Beach | Blue Sky, Yellow Rafters...

... the colour of the tower is quite catchy ... looking above .... one can see the contrasting colour of the sky and the rafters .....

... in some parts of the world... most of the housing or building along the beach are usually painted in pastel or brightly coloured paint..... which look quite interesting and "photo-able" ....

TRAVEL | The Beach | The One With The Shadow ...

.. walking along the soft sandy beach ...
.... feeling the cool sea breeze brushing pass your face .....
... glancing the golden reflection of the glittering ocean ....
..... hearing the soothing rhyme of the ocean waves ....... can very calming ....

.. and if u cannot get enuff of it, one can climb up one of the tower houses along the beach..... to enjoy the magnificient view of where the beach meets the ocean ... as far as the eyes can see...

.... and while on the tower house ... saw this interesting scene .... with the sun beginning to set ... as the shadow becomes longer ... and the camera lens becoming longer as well ... hmmmm... eh no ... the lens should be shorter .. otherwise can't get a wider view .... hence... I manage to share u this moment ....

TRAVEL | The Beach | Sand Sculptures ...

... whilst trying to get another shot of her .... along the way .. stumble upon these sand sculptures ...

... at first .. just one... then ........two ............ then.......... suddenly mushrooming to hundred....... then thousand .. then.... eeer no just .. I was just exaggerating ... ;) ... not that much thou ... but managed to get such composition as the photo below ...

........ building sand sculptures ... or sand castle are also associated with beaches... sandy beaches that is ... coz unlike the beaches in Brighton, UK ... which mostly consist of small pebbles .... so how..... what to build meh? .. Castle on the Rock eh?

... some parts of the world take sand sculpting as serious business... where they will organize a world championship in building sand sculpture or sand castle ....

..... building a sand sculpture does not require one to posses an engineering degree nor architectural degree..... or even hotel & management degree .... but what u need is a QBE .... (Qualification By Experience) .....

... mix some sand .... water ... feel it ... touch it .... blend it .....and make sure it is far away from the reach of the ocean wave...... then imagine what ever u want ... then .... pray for a miracle .... good luck ...... ;)
