Getting a breath of fresh air by the sea and walking along the seal beach, a nice place to watch the sun set. You are surrounded by water on the 700 meter long breakwater, constructed to protect the Coast against storms

at the back the New Pier of Ostend which takes you into the water, the small beach is on the right where seals arrive, you walk past the lighthouse 'Lange Nelle' which is how the Ostend lighthouse is popularly called ~ has been a household name in Ostend since 1949. Consequently, the three light beams that are supposed to represent the letter O of Ostend in Morse code have been shining through the bedrooms and living rooms of several people living in Ostend for decades. Today, the lighthouse still serves as a beacon for shipping, but its light not only shines over the sea, but also inland, 360 degrees around
"The light of the 'Lange Nelle' has been a beacon on our Flemish coast since 1949. You can't take that light away from Easterners."

Life is an eternal game
of ups and downs and the beautiful days come and go
again and again like ebb and flow

We do what people do at the sea ~ a lovely walk on the Ostend pier, breathe in the healthy sea air, watch the rushing waves of the North Sea in the north wind like this seagull at a safe distance on the beach of Ostend. View of the neighbouring seaside resort of Middelkerke from here ~ Beware the dangers of the sea

The North Sea is a border sea of the Atlantic Ocean in northwestern Europe

May the 15th 2023 ~ Coastal water cleaner than 30 years ago ~
the Salty Sea Climate is causing a lot of damage

After thunder and a rain shower a sky full of beautiful colors with 2 beautiful looking rainbows, I saw them on the way home, here in Belgium we don't often see 2 rainbows appearing simultaneously in the sky, I had to be quick, I couldn't capture them completely in 1 image, I wasn't the only spectator as you can see, it must have been spectacular

Snow field in the Park van Tervuren, Keizerinnedreef tree lined lane traffic free ~ A snowy landscape is not forever, the memory of it is

already 46 years ago I cycled home from school in all weathers, the 6 km ride was amazing, every day I rode past the ponds and the museum, it did me good to breathe the pure oxygen it gave me a lot of energy. I like to remember the everyday beautiful things and it makes me very happy to be there again, all those beautiful memories come back as if it were yesterday, it was so nice because time flies, it is as if time has stood still here

the water as a mirror

'If it ☔ rains on July 15th St. Swithin's Day it will rain for forty days and forty nights' not continually !!!!! Peter Castell told me this rebuttal, thank you, Peter.

Many raindrops have fallen since July 15 St. Swithin's Day with a few rays of sunshine, I hope it won't last forty days and forty nights then unfortunately Summer is over

this shot I had sent to my inbox to resize it to the right format, it gave me the picture reversed, I was surprised by the great result that exactly reflects the time of the year
