Ι could stand here for hours, watching
the waves all day,
listening to the sounds of the sea
our
beach, a breath away from home
Mesmerizing beach where is nice to relax
and
just watch the day go by...
On summer weekends and holidays we are used to spending
the whole day at the beach.
It’s the perfect spot to disconnect and forget everything.
Closed umbrellas…
fourteen days of consistent wind in a row!
Nobody!
Only me, strolling with my bike, on the
shoreline…
Empty of visitors…
Me and some sparrows
Having all this view exclusively ours!
The time when a new day comes into our life... the sun filling the sky
with warm colours before it starts its voyage across
the summer sky ..........................
the summer sky ..........................
Yes, better to play the philosopher than
think about my veranda…
See all the damage by the wind, despairing
and blaming myself of how hasty I have been…
Oh my God, this wind isn’t enjoyable anymore............
Did I say nobody?
I thought I was alone?
It doesn't seem like a sparrow!!!
It doesn't seem like a sparrow!!!
Of course!
In a hidden corner
windsurfers and kiters in a fever of preparations ...
Wind sports have a lot of fans!
and this weather is that they were waiting for!!!
and this weather is that they were waiting for!!!
But
for commoners like me, swimming days are postponed,
and I'm not exactly the adventurer I have been dreaming about,
so, let's take a bath at home in the whirlpool tub!
Live your myth this summer wherever you live...
enjoy summertime!
O
Lovely pictures, Olympia. I love the sound of the see. It's so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteIt's so warm and sunny now here in Finland. We've had 30 degrees already for several days. I'm so happy, because it's warm. Happy Thursday!
Wauw... you are living by the sea..
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful.
Verry nice picture's...i wish holiday is beginning..
Nice Day,
Greetings,
Inge, my choice
This is really great Olympia, for me it's a little paradise where you are living. Only to see the sea we have to drive 90 minutes by car! I wish you a lot of wonderful moments this summer!!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, Ingrid
Dear Olympia,
ReplyDeletewhat wonderfull impressions from the beach.
It´s so a great feeling to be alone on the beach - when I was in Italy - I always stands up at 5 o´clock early in the morning for a walk alone on the beach and to pick up a lot of shells.
There was nobody and the man from the hotel has told to me, that he never seen a guest before who stand´s up so early for a walk and this by one´s own choice.
I enjoy this time - like you - you can be free - no connection to the world - only you and the nature.
Fantastic pictures - thank you very much for your trip to the beach.
Today we have sun - in the last days we have got so many rain, a lot of rivers are swamped.
Now I am happy about the sunshine.
You have send me a little summerfeeling - thank you for that
Your Bluemchenmama from Germany
Wonderful impressions! It must be fantastic to be alone on the beach!
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Tinka
Wow what a beautiful pictures! You love my green garden ... but I love "your" sea. It must be great to live near by the sea. And go there by bike. To see such a blue sea I have to wait till this summer when we ar going to France for our holidays. Ik can't wait! Till then I will watch your beautiful pictures!

Dearest Olympia,
ReplyDeleteGreat photos from this natural but windy beach! Love your bike; almost looks Dutch to me as everyone in my birth country bikes.
Enjoy your home and soon the tourists will come and fill the beaches.
Hugs,
Mariette
Ahhhhh! I feel sooooooo relaxed just from your photos, Olympia! Enjoying the blue skies, waves crashing, salty air and windy breeze. Truly paradise!!
ReplyDeleteCheers from DC,
Loi
Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures of the beach - I'd love to be there now! Your spa bath sounds very relaxing too! Enjoy your week x
ReplyDeleteWat een geweldige mooie foto's!
ReplyDeleteEn de zee is zo prachtig. Kan me heel goed voorstellen dat je daar tot rust komt. En als je dan ook nog zo dicht bij de zee woont, kun je vaak even gaan!
Ik hoop dat je mooie momenten beleeft deze zomer. Eindelijk is bij ons ook de zon gaan schijnen.
Lieve groet,
Gerry
Oh, that was fantastic photos from the beach. Lucky you that live so close to the oceane.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Hugs from me
Amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've nominated you for the Leibster Award, go to my blog to see the details!

Dear Olympia,
ReplyDeleteYour photographs make me want to pack my suitcase and head for Greece immediately. The blue skies, the sea, the sun.......absolutely beautiful! Lucky, lucky you!
Happy evening!

It's lovely to see your beach and without the feel of that wind! It's nice having a beach to yourself but 14 days seems a long time. When we went to France a few years ago we suffered from a cold wind all week despite the sun it felt so cold. I hope the weather improves and I'm sorry it has done damage to the veranda.
ReplyDeleteSarah x
It is always a pleasure to walk along the beach, I hope the weather improves, nothing is as annoying as wind for me.

Lieve Olympia,
ReplyDelete.....Maar het levert wel hele mooie plaatjes op met die harde wind, komen er prachtige witte schuimkoppen op de golven die zó mooi afsteken tegen de azuurblauwe zee en passen helemaal bij de kleuren van de in de wind wapperende Griekse vlag.
Met de wind in de rug is het goed fietsen langs het strand,wat leuk om te lezen dat jij als Griekse fietst,ik maar denken dat Grieken zich altijd en alleen verplaatsen met de auto......ook al moeten ze enkel om de hoek van de straat om op het terras aan zee te komen;-)
Nou ik geloof direct dat de sportievelingen met die harde wind de tijd van hun leven hebben.
Als een vogel zo vrij in de lucht.....
Wat ontzettend jammer om te lezen dat je tuin te lijden heeft van de wind.
Hoop dat de wind snel gaat liggen en de badgasten de ligstoelen in gaan nemen,want als uitbater van zo'n gezellig terras wil je toch ook graag dat de kassa rinkelt.
Toen wij op Kreta waren hadden we een dag een hele harde warme fuhn wind die ook nog een het ''Gaddafi zand'' meevoerde over de Libische zee in het zuiden(Hora Sfakion).
Volgende dag was de locale bevolking aan de poets want men kon niet meer door de ramen kijken van het gele stof.
Heb een fijne zomer op een magnifiek plekje op aarde!!!
Lief,Ger
It's true that Greeks prefer going anywhere with their car but it's not the only true.We are three,we have three bikes.My husband wearing his suit and tie goes every day to the tribunal by bike through the bike path which has been created few years ago. Of course we can't be compared with Dutch people,in no case!
DeleteThank you Ger for making more substantial this blog contact!
Sending you sweet hugs, Olympia
Hai ragione il mare è ipnotizzante, guardare le onde una dopo l'altra infrangersi è da sempre una delle cose che ci affascina, come il fuoco in un caminetto. Le tue foto parlano da sole , sono ovviamente bellissime , ma con il tuo testo diventano anche molto interessanti . Ma è una cosa inusuale tutto questo vento ? Ti mando un grande abbraccio e ti auguro un buon weekend.
ReplyDeleteA little piece of paradise, Olympia! The colors of the sea, sky and sand are so beautiful! Yes, wind is sometimes not pleasant, but it clears the air and makes things fresh and lovely. Amazing photos of the para-gliders - so colorful! I hope there was not too much damage to your beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteHugs, xoxo

Dear Olympia,
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful your summertime photos are - the beach, pretty blue sky and sea and sand.
It does have to be one of the most relaxing things to do spending time at the seaside.
Hope the wind passes, so you can go swimming. Your bike is very cute.
