We had a strange day weatherise today - a brilliant sunrise, heavy rain and high winds, then a cloudy kind of sunset. If you look carefully on the right side of the right lower image, you can see @ricaa exploring our west coast beach. Our place is a 3 minute drive from the beach. Rica's place in Germany is a 7 hour drive to the beach! We sure take it for granted that beaches are nearby for most NZers.
Love the way you composed this collage with all the weather changes, and all of them looking brilliant!! I try not to take our proximity to the ocean for granted; I am grateful everyday I can go down there and take pictures and breathe in the salty air!!
and yeees, you are very lucky to live that close to the beach!! :)
