A, the colour of that sea! Reminds me of a wonderful few days in Cornwall some years back Even though I've never lived near the sea, I miss it. If that makes any sense  |

It makes great sense Mort, I adore the sea. I could just sit and watch it for hours. I wish I lived near it !! A I live right next to it and it is indeed beautiful, wonderful, exciting, exhilarating and every superlative you could think of. When the tide is in and windows are open I can hear it rushing to the shore, swishing and making all those lovely noises that the sea makes. Unfortunately what you get with it is an awful lot of SAND! (but only when it's really windy!) |

I don't like close enough to hear the sea as Milly can but I do live close enough to see it out of my front window. I wouldn't live anywhere else  |

A picture from our week in Devon. Berry Head.  A delightful photograph Madame A! What a memorable holiday it must have been! Here we do not reside close enough to it to be worried by sand, but we are indeed perched upon a hill above the sea, and enjoy a wide view thereof extending to a hundred and seventy angular degrees. The chief advantage of these (the height and the angle) is that every day of the year we may look out of our kitchen window and see the curvature of the earth. The chief disadvantage is of course all the dreadful gales of wind we have to endure; sometimes they are so strong as to render it inadvisable to put out the rubbish-bin! And we are reminded too are not we of Charles Arrowby who retires from his glittering London world in order to abjure magic and become a hermit in a sea-side cottage - and of how he is nevertheless troubled by the arrival of his Buddhist cousin James and a monster from the deep (all this in Iris Murdoch's great novel of course). |

It's pretty hard to imagine living anywhere else once you've established spritual relations with the sea. Unlike Mr Grew, although I live 2 minutes from the sea I can't actually see it from the house, even though I can always hear it and smell it. However, some way down the coast from Milly in Wales, this is the view from the kitchen in my current location...  |

Looks like my kinda place, Martle. Deserted beach, moody, lowering clouds. I wouldn't object to seeing that when I looked out of my kitchen window. Great, atmospheric pic.

It is very beautiful picture, so pieceful. Is it taken during the day or in the evening?
Because we lived in town I did not see the sea until I was 6 or 7 years old. I remember well how I saw it for the first time.
It was on the Black sea. I think it was Sochi. There was not one cloud in the blue sky. At first I thought that it was the sky all the way down to earth, but then I saw that in the middle of the blue there was a change. This is where the sea was.
I was absolutely astonished. I still can not get over it until this day.
Here we live close to the sea, but not on the shore. People like our bay. There is even a song about it (I think there are two songs, but I don't know either).
My friend has a house outside our town. You can sea three big islands from his piano room. I am told that islands are special, but I have not been there.

Do you have any pictures closer to LA area: Laguna Beach.

Living almost as far from the sea as you can get in this country, I'm rather envious of those of you who are close to it. This is what I have to make do with when I went to see an expanse of water - taken on Xmas Day 2005 a couple of miles away.  [cotitsalv] |

This is not bad for my taste Andy.I think it is very beautiful. Light are so beautiful. You caught a good moment.
I am not spoiled with water view.
From our Moscow apparatment I could see another high rise building.
On a whole I can be all right if I am not near sea front.
Rob G, I can not see your picture. Santa Monica was close enough. But why did not you go down the coast some more. It is probably no more than 2 hours from LA (or did I forget already).
Your pictures are typical for CA. I am not as familiar with S-F area. I've been there once for three days.

It's pretty hard to imagine living anywhere else once you've established spiritual relations with the sea. I was brought up by the sea and feel much the same about it. I do miss it where I am at the moment but on the other hand when I am by the sea I also, increasingly, find it terribly melancholy. Trust my brain to be emotionally difficult about it  . When people say they love the sea, do they more often than not mean the shore? It's the transition I am both drawn to and saddened by. (I'm sure I have taken my pill this morning. Perhaps I'd better take another one.) Not my photos I'm afraid (I don't possess a scanner) but here's a few of the island of Foula which I'm always going on about.    |
