I love the sea
Posted by akarui (Kagoshima, Japan) on 7 November 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
About the theme "my special place":
I have been moving some much in my life that I cannot think about a special place in particular. I like different places but there is not really something emotional attach to them. In consequence I haven't taken the picture above for this theme. I just love the sea and it could be anywhere in the world.
In the background you can see Kagoshima city and I took the picture from Sakurajima.
See the challenge of Kylie Greenan
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

bravo pour cette photo ardente! Le petit bateau est là au bon moment ;)
dis moi, j'ai eu un crash de PC l'autre jour et je ne retrouve plus le site qui lance le challenge "my special place". Quel est il s'il te plait?

It is a beautiful photo Akauri I too had trouble pinning down one spot so used a bit of poetic licence.

Très jolie photo . J'ai besoin de la mer aussi mais quand les vagues sont fortes ! Comme toi je ne me suis pas beaucoup posée c'est pourquoi my special place n'est pas un lieu !

Akurui I completely understand what you mean about moving around so much that its hard to decide a special place as I am exactly the same! However the place you have shown us today is certainly very beautiful and very special and a wonderful choice for today's theme. Really gorgeous!

やはりこの色を見ると私は燃えて来ます～。
私が題名を付けたら「船と夕景」ですね。

Merveilleuse photo Olivier !
Tu as bien raison pour la mer comme endroit préféré,
Beaucoup de Québécois économisent toute l'année
pour aller 2 semaines sur le bord de la mer !

This is a very beautiful place - well captured in this photo. The rock in the front really adds so much to the composition.

Beautiful light! I love the ocean too. It's one of the main things I miss about where we live now in Saitama - all buildings, no water!

The collective idea of t sea for the Theme is truly valid . . there is a pull to the sea that most of us feel . . a sense of freedom. Lovely shot, too, akarui.

Un coucher de soleil tout en douceur.
C'est vrai que le choix est dur quand on a connu beaucoup d'endroits tous plus beaux les uns que les autres dans ce monde... mon choix étant relié à une émotion, ce fut une évidence pour moi...

Sur cette photographie, j'aime particulièrement la douceur de la lumière qui continue à éclairer la ville en arrière plan, cela donne un effet tout particulier. Beaucoup de douceur mais aussi beaucoup de nostalgie !
Ce soleil est splendide ainsi !
