112 SOS by phil_howcroft

112 SOS

More vacation / holiday pictures to post and I won't apologise for posting another beach picture.

Dotted along the many kilometers of unspoilt beach are these 112 SOS emergency huts, life buoys and flags informing beach goers of the condition of the sea for swimming (today was green for OK !!)

Anyway Fuerteventura is renowned for it's big skies, beautiful beaches and fantastic ocean...I hope this picture does all of those factors justice.

Even though it is mid afternoon and warm and sunny, you can see how the long stretch of beach never get over crowded or busy !! Beautiful :)
Awesome! Wish i was there.

@sleepdozer57 Cheers Peter, I wish I was back there too :) , I thought you might like the clouds

@sparkle Juliette, it could possibly pass as a 'picture postcard'. The clouds seem to roll off the mountains...they can turn a beautiful warm afternoon into a cold afternoon in the matter of a few minutes when they take hold !!

@judithg Thanks Judith, I did several pictures of this scene , it was hard to pic out my fave shot. In fact I did a very similar picture when we went to the same beach a few years ago...I was trying to recreate the same image.
