in early september, we all met at my parents' house for my father's birthday. one evening, the niece and i sneaked out to spend an hour at the beach. we splashed through the sea mud, did some drawing in the sand, gathered feathers and stones, and had an ice cream. walkers and horse-drawn coaches were scattered across the wide, empty ground of the sea. the tide is a magic thing.
this weekend, the niece will come for a visit, along with her sister and their parents. what are you up to?

oh wonderful photos! i love the colours of your niece's clothes. the one where she draws with the feather in the sand is so dreamy. :)
I love those pictures. Great mood shots! This weekend it is extensive studio time & a picnic in the parc! Have a good one.
it-s my nephew´s birthday, we re going skating! really nice light on your pics...
was für ein tolles meer. ebbe und flut faszinieren mich auch (schade dass das mittelmeer die nicht wirklich hat ;) ).
enjoy your family weekend! ich muss mich endlich mal wieder auf die uni konzentrieren glaube ich...aber eine spazierfahrt morgen früh mit dem fahrrad an den strand ist trotzdem fest eingeplant.
The sea after summer is so moody and awesome. I've never seen a horse-drawn carriage on the beach; that's a brilliant idea.
I'll be staying at home, going for a walk, watching the leaves change. Enjoy your weekend :)
i was going to say exactly the same thing about the carriages as sarah. i think i would feel like i was in a children's book.
hi there! yes, the carriages are quite typical for that part of the north sea. i could imagine they exist in the netherlands and northern france as well, but i don't know.
there are a few hours each day, when the tide is out, that you can go out - in some cases to near-by islands - on the sea mud. it's slightly squishy, but very even, hard-ish ground, so the horses can pull the carriages with special rubber wheels quite easily. you can tell how eager they are to get out into the mud, when you see them go past.
yes, the tide is a magic thing. and the sea-mud. oh, loveliness. have a great one.
god the first image is heaven.
These are all so wonderfully beautiful, Kristina
how pretty what lovely photos. i never associate germany with beaches.
...écrire dans le sable c'est le futur !
