The beach in winter

One freezing dusk. Snow on the beach, a very odd and beautiful sight.

  1. Having grown up in South Florida that’s very odd looking to me.

    It’s strange to me too! It rarely happens. Love it!

  3. Desirae says:

    Beautiful – I love the grey waves crashing against the shore.

  4. DBW says:

    Stark and beautiful. I have never seen snow near the ocean except in places like Northern Canada where it was ice and snow everywhere. To see snow on a “summer” beach is striking. I particularly like the photos where it looks like white sand.

  5. red says:

    DBW – yes, it really did look like sand. Crazy!!

    Very cool. Here’s crazy for you: Those pictures make me want to put on woolies and oilskins, load a thermos of Irish coffee, and go sailing for a couple of hours in something like a Block Island Cow Horn (or something equally sturdy and seaworthy). I would dearly like to do one winter sail, stupid as it sounds.

  7. red says:

    Ken – I’m spending the month of January on Block Island – I don’t know if I’ve even mentioned it – but seriously: weird coincidence if not!! Wintry beach scenes are my ideal and I don’t think you are weird or stupid at all – you should do it!!

  8. Ken says:

    I think I would enjoy it.

    I dunno, though, I sometimes wonder about the appropriateness of doing on a lark what a lot of guys went out and did because they had to, not because they wanted to. Lot of ’em went out and didn’t come back, too. Even so, I’d still like to do it some time.

    I don’t think you mentioned Block Island specifically, so I reckon weird coincidence it is — but the Cow Horn type does have a heck of a reputation.

  9. red says:

    Ken – I come from a crazy fishing town. These people are HARDY FOLK. I know them all well.

    But I say, if you want to do it, do it. Like Tony Horwitz following Captain Cook’s “footsteps” over the South Seas … who cares if it’s “appropriate”. Your doing it for pleasure is a tribute to those who came before.

    My 2 cents.
