A Quiet Moment Before Tourists Arrive by taffy

A Quiet Moment Before Tourists Arrive

Taken tonight at the public beach, with not a soul in sight.
It's back to Chicago tomorrow -- island time is strange. When you arrive, time seems to stop. There's no feeling of the passage of time. Then, suddenly, it's gone. It doesn't matter whether we are here for 4 days or 4 months. It's the same feeling.
Love those swings- wish we have em here on the beach - cool shot!

Awesome shot

Fantastic shot. It really tells a story. I bet they will be busy very soon.

I guess that's a good thing- it means you enjoy yourself there and relax. The swings will be much happier when they're occupied!

That island must be so good for you! This is brilliant POV and with great DOF to see that faraway house! fav

What a lovely looking spot - so peaceful late today. Guess that will change! Glad you have a place to go relax like this.

I love beaches when they are like this. Great capture of the time before busy season.

Wonderful caption, capture!!

Looks so peaceful. I get that feeling when I arrive home after we have been travelling.
June 2nd, 2015  
Fabulous, desolate scene. I love scenes like this with nobody in sight!
June 2nd, 2015  
Looks like a nice day. Love the tranquility!
June 2nd, 2015  
Lovely peaceful scene, and I know that feeling that time stands still when you are away from life's usual routines
June 2nd, 2015  
So peaceful... I'd love to be sitting in one of those swings!
June 2nd, 2015  
Beach and swings, love the combo!

I love this image - the calm before the mad rush of holiday makers!! Beautiful beach. I always feel time speeds up when I am on holiday!! Safe journey home.

A lovely peaceful scene , so wonderful before returning to the hustle buzzle of the city !

Makes me wonder if retirement would be an endless summer.
June 2nd, 2015  
It does look very peaceful. It's the same with the sandy beaches here. I go for the rocky ones where I don't have to brush off all the sand from everything I carry with me.
June 2nd, 2015  
Bright and clean — that's what struck me first. Can't decide if there's a sense of peace or anticipation here. What with school about to be done for another year, maybe it's anticipation. I like the little spots of color the dome's dots provide.
June 2nd, 2015  
Great POV and i would just love to be there.
June 2nd, 2015  
waiting for the fun to begin....
June 2nd, 2015  
Love this quiet solitude before the tourists arrive. The swings look lonely waiting for the children to arrive. Lone the shadows cast by the swing set,
June 2nd, 2015  
Lovely peaceful shot, I can imagine it in high season.
June 2nd, 2015  
Amazing capture! Love the composition and colors.
June 2nd, 2015  
what a wonderful feeling. I love wide open time-spaces.
June 2nd, 2015  
A super composition and capture
June 2nd, 2015  
Ahhh~! Looks so peaceful
June 2nd, 2015  
Thats the aortof timeI like;one bearing no relation to clock/day/month time.
This is a great shot of the tourist season to come
June 2nd, 2015  
Sounds wonderful. I can just imagine the peacefulness!
June 2nd, 2015  
like the simplicity and emptiness
June 2nd, 2015  
I would love to be sitting on one of those swings , a lovely picture
June 2nd, 2015  
Your island sounds and looks idyllic. Very nice composition.
June 2nd, 2015  
It's one of those photos that I look at for a very long time - it's telling me a story.
June 2nd, 2015  
Great shot.
June 3rd, 2015  
Nice composition and lighting
June 3rd, 2015  
Love the composition and how the sand is full of footprints that lead you to the water.
Looks like you used your wide angle, love the peacefulness that you captured Taffy. So nice that you got a chance to rest.
June 3rd, 2015  
super capture ...
June 3rd, 2015  
Yes, I know the feeling when time is just suddenly gone! Super shot and great composition.
June 3rd, 2015  
this does tell a story - because - although not a soul is there NOW... the foot prints tell a different story. Great shot
June 3rd, 2015  
Beautiful image, love the abandoned feel of the swing and it's reflections, together with the wonderful surroundings its standing in
June 3rd, 2015  
I can totally see this place crowded with screaming kids and vacationing families in the height of the season.....so glad you captured it devoid of all that, and in the anticipation of what is to come.
