I must go down to the sea today............

I went to see 'Song for Marion ' today with a friend.
Terence Stamp & Vanessa Redgrave were both excellent in it & I would thoroughly recommend it.
Lunch first & a walk along Clevelys promenade & then the back row at the cinema, a bag of Revels & my feet up on the seat in front...a blissful afternoon!!!!
I have played about a touch with this picture of the beach trying to get that washed out look @still_beachradish is so good at...I think I failed miserably but it was fun!

Three good things:
1. A large glass of red wine with my lunch.
2. The other mattress topper has arrived.
3. We have spent the generous voucher Lesley gave us last May...a solar sun brolly & some trees, Harry picked them up this afternoon.
Just read the observer review which was not flattering. But your walk along the beech looks fabulous. I do like how you always enjoy a wee glass with lunch....

@fueast No the reviews don't always agree with us viewing public & I know this had a very luke warm reception but I really enjoyed it....perhaps it's an age thing Alison!!!!!!!

@fueast Perhaps on second thoughts I look at these films through wine coloured specs....I know we laughed a lot!!!!

@happypat I'm looking forward tot he age where I can drink and go to the cinema in the afternoon. Sounds great!

Oh goody will have to see that.....i read rubbish reviews too, fortunately our cinema sells wine so i can view it through wine coloured specs!!! Love your shot..nearly there!!

@fannyb I thought it knocked spots off Quartet which was very well received & I thought was boring but it's all accounting for taste. Doesn't everything look better through a wine glass....you have a very enterprising cinema!!

What a lovely day you have had and I like th e"Three good Things" that you do with each post
March 19th, 2013  
Sounds like a perfect day!! I love a bit of daytime cinema - haven't fitted any in just recently though...
March 19th, 2013  
I feel as if I am eves dropping on three good friends !! but hay ho I don't mind if you don't !!! I,m so intrigued by this sea scape the flatness of it all, giving it a sense of calmness
March 19th, 2013  
Sounds like a great way to spend the day :)
March 19th, 2013  
I would not say you failed. I like its lighting.
March 19th, 2013  
Sounds like you had a lovely day, I really like that poem, and your photo
March 19th, 2013  
i like your post processing pat...the effect is good and the minimalistic nature of the shot adds to the atmosphere
March 19th, 2013  
Great pov . I like the eahsed out effect on the water
March 19th, 2013  
.......to the lonely sea and the sky. I'd like to see that film too. I think it's one for the girls. We went to see Side Effects this evening with Jude Law and Katherine Zeta-Jones. Clever plot but don't go unless you want to come back depressed!

lovely seaside scene Pat, love the processing
March 19th, 2013  
...I think I left my laundry there

Do you think by now it's dry!!!

I love classic poetry. Lovely peaceful shot Pat. -)

I really like this shot. I also enjoy ur 3 things series.

I think you've done well here, Pat. The only thing you haven't done which would have made it more like the work of the other 365-er is to have had a far larger ratio of sky, and to have washed it out even further. Still, having said that, I really like what you've done. It works.

Its difficult to get as good as Beachradish - she has a magic touch! Nice flat scene here with a light coloured sea. Haven't seen this Marion film - looks good -not here in NZ, I think!
March 20th, 2013  
I like the washed out look to this. It suits the subject well.
March 20th, 2013  
Love how teeny the people look. It really adds perspective
March 20th, 2013  
Fantastic perspective Pat! Lovely scene.
March 20th, 2013  
What a great day you had and a nice photo to top it off!
March 21st, 2013  
It sounds like a great afternoon. Very nice shot.

Remember Cleveleys well - thanks for sharing your pic. Funnily enough I'm trying (with not much success at the moment) to trace, for a mutual friend, a guy who lived in Cleveleys about 60 years ago. You pic has given me a new lease of life on the project. Thanks
