In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “On the Way.”
This road is about thirty seconds away from our front gate, and is the one most often followed when going anywhere. Going anywhere usually involves a left turn halfway down the hill. As can be imagined, there is a constant temptation, instead, to continue all the way down the hill and then do a right turn towards that splashy frothy stuff they call the Indian Ocean.
Not as good as we had it when said splash was a minute’s walk through jungle down our front garden (which was fronting on the bit of coastline visible in this picture), but pretty handy nonetheless.

I also live beside an ocean. There is something very wonderful about being near such hugeness and its beauty, power and splashy stuff

Wanting to be near the sea is a hard habit to break!

I’m enjoying being within arms reach of that splashy frothy stuff at the moment. 🙂

I must admit, I would we drawn to the ocean. Some destinations just call too convincingly…

sometimes things change for the better but we do not always realize it at the time…..I cannot see the sea at all..even if I stand on a chair!

I’m not so sure about the better in this case – still, although a chair improves the sea view we still have one without!

Did not realize you still lived near the sea. Nice.

Fortunately, still within easy reach – but not the bits as private as we had. The sound is faint now, too. I miss the constant crash of the breakers.

Dunno where to get decent printing jobs done here, though!

I love that splashy frothy stuff, and 20 years ago it was at the bottom of our garden.

I would really hate not having it handy. Living in the Midlands was incredible, but I still missed it. From it being almost on the front doorstep when I was a child, I have come to regard it as a normal part of existence!
