Skimming stones.

It is a rainy morning at home today, so it’s not surprising I’m thinking of sunny holidays elsewhere. Looking through my photographs of seaside holidays past I’ve noticed that visitors to Swanage, on the Dorset coast, seem to have a very special relationship with the sea. Only one of my photographs shows people sunbathing on the beach, sat in their deckchairs and eating their ice cream and the majority of captured moments have caught people (and one dog) relaxing by the waters edge. Here are five of my favourite photographs from that day:

Pushing off.

Woof.

 

Wellington boots are a must.

Bobbing along.

It was a bit miserable yesterday afternoon, but there were some intrepid golfers on the Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf and even a crowd of people queuing for ice creams. Most people were enjoying the sea views, and their fish and chips in some cases, from inside their cars on the Promenade. The dog walkers were out, but I suppose they don’t have much choice in the matter, because dogs need walking what ever the weather.
