Beautiful vibrant blues and soft greens.
Picturit: Thanks Jewlya, the sun was my friend here, this was taken at 4P.
Astrid.
good composition & framing. the soft blues sea & sky background make it lively shot.
Picturit: Thank you so much for your kind words and thanks for visiting,
Astrid
You have transported me to the beach; it is a bit cols and blustery, so I shall play in the dunes rather than swim today...
Dune grass is wonderful stuff, that must be admired for its tenacity in such a hostile environment...this is a fine portrait of it.
Picturit: Ray, you are allowed to play in the dunes...but only onto the paths between them, the dune grass is 'holy' on the islands, every year they plant new ones, beacause of the storm, they keep the sand from being blown away.

Lovin this image, Astrid. It reminds me of the Oregon coast.
Picturit: Kay I am glad I bring back a good memory to you, have agreat weekend,
Astrid.
Beautiful shot!
It really gives me the feeling of beeing there.
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words Rémi, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
Encapsulates the Baltic beach every efficiently.
Picturit: Thank you Martin, have a great weekend and hope you do well and I do hope that the temperature will not be to high
Astrid.
How beautiful Astrid - makes me totally want to go visit!
Picturit: You will not be dissapointed Expatraveler, you will feel at home, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
The sand dunes are in my blood, Astrid, from the times I visited Lake Michigan as a child and then later as a married woman on the coasts of northern California. So this image transports me to a feeling I get every time I see them. Thank you.
You know that I love your ground level POV, looking through the grasses to the sea beyond!
Picturit: I think, once somebody has been through the dunes and gone to the beach, it will always be in the blood, the view is magnificent once there, the majestic view over, for us, the North Sea never bores me, as a kid I was always running to the beach, I was always afraid the water was gone....I said: I hope they did not pull the plug of the sea....well it is still plugged
Graag gedaan om deze herinnering weer naar boven te brengen.
Great composition. You can go visit Texel more often. It reminds me a lot of my visits there and Ameland.
Picturit: Louis you are a lucky man than, Ameland is great to, we love Texel, no secret about that, in 8 weeks we will be there again.....
Astrid.
pfff, a photo to love the combination of colors is perfect.
Picturit: Thanks Jeroen, for your kind words, have a great weekend.
Astrid.
It looks a bit chilly there Astrid: I hope you wrapped up well!
Picturit: In fact it was not that cold maybe 10C, the sun made it nice, have a great weekend.
Astrid.
Astrid, this is just such a beautiful shot with the grasses blowing in the wind and the ocean a blur as if it is a dream.
Likey.
Picturit: Thank you so much for your kind words, you and I do love Texel, I know shots like this will bring back good memories, hope you have a good weekend,
Astrid.
Superb dune shot Astrid. I like the diagonal line giving such a depth to the picture! Great lighting and colours contrast.
Picturit: Thank you Richard, I am pleased you like it, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
een mooi gecomponeerd beeld met de diagonale lijn van het strandgras! Jij geeft een erg goed indruk van de wind en de lucht, de strakblauwe hemel met enkele lichte wolken en de pruttelende branding- ik kan beschouwen, luisteren, voelen ruiken, proeven - alle zintuigen zijn levendig dankzij je foto! Mijn lust naar de zee te rijden is wakker gemaakt!
Picturit: Philine, ik weet zeker dat je het heerlijk zal vinden aan het strand, de rust de kalmte de zilte geur, de meeuwen...alles is genieten, dank je wel voor je lieve woorden, een heel goed weekend en tot maandag!
Astrid
A lovely shot Astrid. I can almost smell the sea and feel the wind in my hair. Love the bold composition.
Ingrid
Picturit: I am very pleased with your kind words, I love the sea and the beach...I know it shows, have a great weekend.
Astrid.
Love the contrast between the dryness of the dunes and the watery scene behind. (:o)
Picturit: Thank you Roz for your kind words, I am pleased you like it, have a great weekend.
Astrid.
I can imagine you running along the beach Astrid and I will join you for a jog so long as the wind in always behind us ;o) You will have to run back and get the car to pick me up from the other end. Off to the gym now - not as picturesque, but no wind ;o)
Picturit: Mike, you are more than welcome to join me for a run and I make sure the wind is with us....I might have a suggestion, copy this picture, enlarge it, than hang it on the wall of the gym, add some beach sounds with it.....you will run like crazy...have a great weekend,
Astrid.
Very very Nice image
Picturit: Thank you Vintage, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
They are tanning and wind is making their "hair" move ... Nice shot, I love this holiday atmosphere !!!
Picturit: You are so right about the holday feeling....when we are on our way an on the ferry...it is vacation for us...it is only a 2 hours drive.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Great perspective on this shot, and the DOF works very well as well.
Picturit: Thank you James for your kind words and for visiting, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
Nice line in the middel of your photo. Normal I would say don't do that, but it works very good in this photo!
Picturit: Robbie the reason why it worked here is beacause the sky part is larger than the lower part and the diagonal with the grass line, thanks though, have a great weekend.
Astrid.
Gorgeous shot Astrid, love the colours
Picturit: Aussie I am glad you like it, have a great weekend.
Astrid.
I spend a lot of time walking through dunes, the effects of the weather/wind/sea in forming them creates some beautiful scenes, super shot. mal
Picturit: Your words make me very happy, thanks Mal, I love dunes and the beach and everything with it, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
In the wind and nothing to do with Chris' baked beans. Astrid, how about a picnic lunch on these dunes?
Picturit: Any time with you Chad, I even will try the baked beans.....
have a great weekend, Astrid.

The sea and dune grasses ... delightful. richard
Picturit: Thank you Richard for your kind words, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
Great perspective and DOF with this shot. Like the warm colors and composition. Nice work.
Picturit: Thank you John, I am pleased you like it, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
isnt it funny how the simple images are the most overlooked, and yet when caught right, can be among the most attractive ? This is a good example of just that, well done astrid.
Picturit: Ric, your words are so true, the most simple things lay within reach of us and captured with some care, most of the times they turn out for the best, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
This is nice Astrid. Simple composition but a strong diagonal.
Picturit: Thank you so much for your compliment, have a great weekend.
Astrid.
Bonjour,

Astrid
Simple yet beautiful! Well done Astrid
Picturit: Rafael, I am pleased you like this one, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
Nice close-up shot Astrid, one can almost feel the wind. We have got a lot of this type of sand dunes on our East coast in England with this type of grasses, hopefully I will get there in the summer.
Picturit: Brian you will love to take pictures in the dunes, I did very much, thank you so much for your kind words, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
So warm looking. I just love how you split the image almost in half diagonally. Beautiful!
Picturit: Thank you Laura for your kind words, have a great weekend.
Astrid
I love this, Astrid.
Picturit: Thank you Ruth for your kind words,
Astrid.
liking the brown...
Picturit: Glad you do Sam, have a great weekend,
Astrid.
Lovely colours in this and you've used the shallow depth of field to good effect. I've just had two days on the Northumberland coast with opportunities for this type of shot but failed to use them!
Picturit:
Astrid.
Astrid this would make an awesome canvas. Makes me long for the days as a kid at Jones Beach on Long Island.
Picturit: I am so glad I could bring back some memory, the beach and sea are places I like to be, thank you so much for your kind words,
Astrid.
Belle utilisation de la PDC pour renforcer la composition
Picturit: Merci beaucoup pour votre mots aimable, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.
I like it very much Astrid, great idea with the sea in background !!
Picturit: Thank you Zeb for your kind words!!
Astrid.
This would restore anyone's soul, Astrid. I'm so happy you got away.
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words, now you know why we love the island, the peace and the quiet....and the wind and fresh air...
Astrid. |
