Sand, Sea, Sky and Shadow

Today is the last day of Autumn and although the sun has shone, there is a definite chill in the air.

Temperature only reached 17 degrees C today, tomorrow Winter.

[Helen Sanderson]

yes a little cooler up here too...doesnt really feel wintery though. like your shadow!

[Jenfurj]

Yes, bit chilly this morning. I wonder what the water temp is?

[Maggiemae]

How long can legs get in the winter time! Got to document those shadows!

[Babs]

@365projectorgjenfurj Dropped to 15 degrees c here tonight.

[Dianne]

Great image.

[Clare Gadsby]

love those waves, and the loooooong shadow :)

[sally agnew]

Love the long shadow Babs, it certainly looks chilly :)

[Rachel]

You're looking tall Babs :) It was cooler here today too.

[Valerie Chesney]

Love the long shadow leading in to those waves. Cooler here too...

[julia]

What long legs you have Babs...

[Hazel]

How strange: after sand, sea...I was expecting quite a different word next! love the elongated shadow!

[FBailey]

Lovely beach scene - you look extremely tall!

[Susie]

Lovely image

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture. You look like daddy longlegs in your shadow.

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot

[Babs]

@maggiemae @pistache @hermann @888rachel @julzmaioro @quietpurplehaze @fbailey @sangwann Thanks. Either the long shadows and legs are because of the late afternoon sunlight or maybe because I have been in a growbag.

[Henri Russell]

Lovely capture. It looks so peaceful. Best shadow too.

[Casablanca]

Mmmm, 17 - sounds perfect to me! It was a humid 21 in London and I came home dripping with perspiration!!

[Merrelyn]

It felt like Winter here today, maximum 18 with rain, thunder and hail.

[Lois]

Lovely beach colors and shadow!

[Lou Ann]

Marvelous photo, love the shadow, it’s you, right? Great beach scene.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shadow shot, and it looks so nice and calm there.

[Veena Gupta]

Love the perspective here and the contrasting colours. Fav.

[Joyce]

Beautiful peaceful scene. Temperature 20c here!

[Sue]

17 or 18 degrees does not sound like winter to me! Our summer temperatures often don't get much higher than that!!

[gloria jones]

Neat shadow shot

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

Lovely composition

[Margaret Brown]

Love the long shadow and mellow light. Our temp was 10c yesterday and today 20c such a mixed up spring/summer we are having

[Margo Sayer]

VML the disturbed sand. I want to be there, I miss the sea enormously.

[carol white]

Nicely composed and a great shadow

[Sylvia Binch]

What I would give for a "cool" 17 degrees ! We are sweltering with temps in the mid 20s. Great shot.

[Diana]

A stunning image Babs, I did not know you were so tall ;-)

[Catherine]

That is a long long shadow! Beautiful water too. Our summer is just beginning- this project is great for giving us snapshots of other continents seasons.

[Chris K]

love the late afternoon light.

[Babs]

@casablanca The humidity is a killer whatever the temperature.

[Babs]

@merrelyn Rained all night here too, welcome to winter today and we will be in Sydney all day too.

[Babs]

@louannwarren Yes Lou Ann it is me, I didn't know I was so tall, must have been in a growbag.

[Babs]

@thistle @suesouthwood @craftymeg @bintal @megpicatilly It is 6.30 am here at the moment and first day of winter. Only 12 degrees C at the moment and I have to go to Sydney for a hospital appointment. It is going to be a long day. 450 km there and back in one day!

[Ann Williams]

Ha, I like long shadows like this. It's the only way I'll ever have long legs! What a place for you to find yours.

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful scene and view with a great shadow.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific :)

[Suzanne]

Ha, you could go paddling in that beautiful sea and it wouldn't even reach your shins :)

[Marnie]

It even looks cold Babs, lovely beach nevertheless, love the shadow. Bloomin' cold down in the park this morning, around 5 degrees.

[Chloe]

Great image

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think I would still prefer this as an Autumn/Winter scene than the ones I generally see! Nice shot- hope the day's travels went well.

[Taffy]

A great shadow selfie!

[CC Folk]

The sea looks beautiful with your fun shadow included!

[Helen Jane]

lovely long shadow is well placed as you view out to sea. Hope you get on well today

[Kathie]

I didn't realize you're that tall.

[Kathy A]

Looking rather tall there Babs! Winter is definitely here now.

[Gayle]

Wonderful beach scene and love the shadow! :-)

[Pam]

Nicely done!

[Stephanie]

The sea looks cold and you seem to have grown abit Babs since the last time I saw your pic, lol.... I hope you get a mild winter.
