I can't live without the sea

I have lived in 5 different states of Australian, but for almost all my life I have lived near the sea. Something like 80% of Australians live within 50km of the coast. Where I live now I can hear the sea from my backyard, I can see the dunes and I can smell the salty air. I love it. It is too cold to swim in the sea down here much, but I love watching the changing colours, sometimes it is the most amazing pretty greens and blues and other day it is grey and wild. When the surf is up it sound like a freight train going past. I took this pic tonight, at about 5:30pm, it was starting to get dark, I was hoping for some colour in the sky, but just gray clouds. The pic make the beach look much more hospitable than it was feeling, it was really windy and cold.

Wow...just amazing to think this is your backyard. So many here would DIE for your view!

Another great landscape...how do you choose which one is your favorite?

Hmmmm... lovely! I have NEVER lived near the sea. In fact, it would take me about 12 hours in a car to get anywhere near a large body of water (other than lakes) and that would be the Gulf of Mexico. We have visited a beach only a handful of times, so having this in your backyard is totally foreign to me!

I just love your landscapes!
