Robert Moses




In the pavilion are the fixings for a classic barbecue 


beginning with beer --and plenty of it

but the beach itself (looking west) was deserted except for the birds.


Lots of birds. The terns have little teeny tiny legs and walk very quickly.


The seagull wants out of the picture.


Reflections on wet sand.


Lots of people by the lifeguard stands


and brothers making a castle


with a tunnel that the seawater runs through


until it collapses as these things tend to.


The life guard adopts a quaisi-heroic posture


as the firemen cook on the world's biggest grill.

  3. Brilliant sun and classic beach shore views. Thank you for having that camera with you, and hoping that you and yours also had loads of sunscreen at the ready.

  10. So people obviously feel safer by the lifeguards and probably there are loos and food in the vicinity. I like the deserted bit best.
