Our ocean from a distance.

So blessed to stand on a high sand dune to take photos of the beach and the sea. My zoom worked overtime again.

Some lovely sights here to place a longing for the ocean in your hearts.

We had an appointment in the area of the ocean and I am never one to miss an opportunity to take some shots of the sea and the beauty of it. They say that a sea post without a bird in it is not a great post.
So come and look.

This bird is very hygienic conscious and he tried to poop in the bin, but the wind kept on affecting his aim.

A far out shot of the ocean and in the distance at the end of the mountain is an overhanging rock called "Hangklip" meaning Hanging Rock.

Here is a closer look at the "Hangklip" mountain at the right and there is a little town below it that we visit occasionally.

The ocean tides made some lovely patterns on the beach.

You will not drown if you walk barefoot through these water patterns on the beach. Instead it will be good as it massages your feet.

A gull hovered above a possible luck of food in the sea.

And here was another gull flying over the breaking waves.

Finally a look at the distant mountain from the top of the sand dune that I was standing on.

It is approximately 12 kilometers from the sea to the mountains and we live smack bang in the middle of both.
So on a day or in fact any day we can visit both or each individually.
There are also many farms and other small towns that are not far away, and nature scenes in abundance.
A place that can bring a great peace in one's heart.

And That's All Friends!

I bet there are lots of climbers on this Hangklip - that's another thing besides flying that I don't like to do
The first photo of the Hangklip is my absolute favourite in this cool and fun to read post, my friend, the clouds are nicely leading the viewers eyes to the main subject, the Hangklip 😀

Years ago, before my accident I could Bungee jump from very high spots, but I have never tried cliff abseiling or mountain climbing.

That Hangklip has always fascinated me Hannes.
Even though we have driven right up to the Hangklip on that lovely low mountain pass road that you can see at the bottom of the mountain at the front, it still holds me attention as a marker.
You are correct as I also saw the cloud pointers.

Thank you for the nice comment.

Cheers and thanks.

Cheers and thanks.
I think that it's the strong South Easter wind in combination with rain that cut the Hangklip like that.

Yeah, I can imagine Bungee jumping and also skydiving from a plane, but flying with a small plane or climbing up a vertical rock face ... no way 😏 It's not the height, it's just the fear to fall, I know I'm strange 🙃

Yep, wind and water can do so much and change whole mountains over the years or better said centuries or thousands of years :)

You're most welcome, my friend ☺️

Now you know that I insisted that the laborer's on the steel electrical feed towers must wear a harness and a safety belt. I fired quite a few that I caught with it on.
Rock is slippery, but the narrow steel braces on a 55 meter high tower is even more slippery.
I was just never interested in rock climbing, as like you I could also make my way up to the top of a mountain by not having to do abseiling. Most mountains that is but some are impossible to climb.

I also prefer to judge the weather cutting of that massive solid rock to have taken thousands of years.
Maybe from a time that the Dinosaurs still walked around here.

Cheers and thanks.

There are still many construction workers who whink they don't need no protection, but they become less and less. I would have followed your instructions for sure.

I am sure these rocks have seen the dinosaurs.

!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Oh yes, we also occasionally still have a bad accident here that should never have happened.
Glad that you would have listened Hannes 😘

That's why I talk to the mountains and ask them to tell me their secrets.
But the sad thing is they don't answer me 🤣
Imagine what they can tell me.

Cheers and thanks.

The mountains are talking too slow for us to understand them - you know that one second for us might be 10 years for them 🤣

!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃
