Beware of the Rocks [Seaphotography Contest - Week 100]

Good night, friends!

This is my entry for the Seaphotography Contest - Week 100 hosted by @marc-allaria.

Here are three photos taken at the beach in Vila do Conde. The first couple of photos show you where not to swim. If you enter the waters here, it's most likely you'll end up paying an emergency visit to the nearest hospital. 🤕

Even though it might be tempting to go for a swim here when the waters are shallow and flat... it's a really bad idea. It just takes an unannounced wave to send you flying against the rocks and you'll end up in a world of hurt. 😬

So, feel free to stand on the rocks and watch the waters... but don't act as a Rambo.

If you wish to go for a swim, just walk along the beach a couple hundred meters and you'll reach a spot where it's a lot safer to dive in and have fun. Still, don't get too distracted... there are still a few underwater rocks that can do some damage.

Always try to look for the place with the less rocks. The life-keepers have enough trouble as it is. Don't you go and make their jobs even more difficult.

If you keep in mind this simple advice you will live longer... and with all of your limbs, too. 😏

This must sound like a very obvious thing to the reasonable minds out there but believe me, there are plenty of people who make the mistake of going for a swim right at the spot where the danger is... some are thrill seekers, others simply didn't think well enough. Whatever the reasons, try to avoid following their steps.

Be safe... and happy swimming! 😎

Tell me about it. I have a booked flight to Tokyo... and the airline actually allows me to make it. But then I can't enter Japan. So, what's the point? Am I supposed to live in the Airport terminal for 2 weeks and then return? 🙄

At first glance, I was thinking, "For God's sake, why not?! What's wrong with that beautiful rocky beach?!"
The thing is that here (in Croatia, on our alongside Adriatic sea coast), most of us (my family for sure) would rather go on some rocky beach than on sandy one, and we are kinda used to it.
What I didn't think through is that the Adriatic sea (if it's not a stormy day) is way calmer and tame sea, normally without some big waves while on your photos (if I'm guessing right), it must be the Atlantic ocean what is entirely different story.

Hi friend @trincowski

Well, no. I live in the mountains, away from the coast, and I miss the sea immensely.

Ah, that's understandable. It must be peaceful out there... at least. I live not far from the sea but my neighbours have the most annoying ratdogs ever. This night they had a hysteria attack around 5 AM. I have hardly slept because of those mini monsters.😵
