Man I wish I had the chance to go to the beach and get some shots. God I miss it. All my beach photos are on old film photos (buried in a closet somewhere), nothing current, and not going to see the ocean anytime soon *pout*.

Took this shot during my honeymoon last summer. I shared some more shots from the trip here if anyone would like to have a look.

I live half a block from Rockaway Beach in NYC. I can actually hear the sound of 10000 teenage bikinis right now.

Unfortunately I don't have a camera worth using. How 'bout a nice haiku or limerick?

If only the weather here would pick up a bit and i had the time off to go to a beach near here that's in my opinion one of the best in Scotland.

If it is anywhere near where they filmed that movie "The Planet" you must be right. Except there was no water in that movie, it was all dunes.

Never heard of the movie, was that filmed in Scotland? only information i have of it was that it is a Scandinavian production which to me suggests it was filmed somewhere around Scandinavia.

Train Spotting was, saw that on IFC or Sundance or some other channel a while back. Was a good movie.

:lol:

Yes, filmed in the same city i reside. Be interested to hear if you understood what they said in that movie.

Believe it or not i never saw Trainspotting until i was in Australia, and then once again when i was in New Zealand.

Already some great submissions. I like where this one's going. :) Nice shot gb. The colors are the perfect contrast to the surroundings.
