A Little Bay Scene
‘A Little Bay Scene’
… taken on 31/12/22, an idyllic end to what was a tough year for me as I recovered from cancer…there are probably thousands of little bays like this, but the scene resonated peace and tranquility at the time and still does. I wish you that kind of peace…

Lazing
‘Lazing’
I shot this photo a month ago whilst on holiday at Mangawhai Heads,an hour and a half north of Auckland.
Sun, sand, surf, salt air.
Bliss.
The gentleman in the folding seat is lazing in the sun, tools of play – plastic buckets, a tiny inflatable boat -spread around on the sand.
A (hopefully!)temporary Covid-19 lockdown has non-essential travel out of town suspended, so I could not go to this beach, even if I wanted to, right now.
Which got me thinking -is lazing non-essential? It is probably the opposite in fact. We all need to unwind from time to time, right?

On The Beach
‘On The Beach’
“Now I’m livin’
out here on the beach,
but those seagulls are
still out of reach
… I follow the road,
though I don’t know
where it ends.
Get out of town, get out of town,
think I’ll get out of town.”
‘On The Beach’, Neil Young (1974)
