Pink sky at night by Mark J P

It actually stopped raining today and there was a pink sky as the sun was setting.  This has to be a good sign surely? Could summer finally be on the way.. I’m doubtful.

These were the waves at Sandy Beach Park in Oahu, Hawaii (aka break-neck beach). Apparently there are more injuries here each year than any other beach in Hawaii. The waves were really rather high even just a few feet out at the shore break. Needless to say I remained on the safety of the beach. ;)

Jellyfish by Mark J P

This was more than enough to keep me out of the ocean but a little further down the beach there seemed to be plenty of people more than happy to ignore the warnings and enjoy the warm water. Crazy!

The Duke by Mark J P

This is Duke Kahanamoku and he is considered to be the father of modern day surfing.  This is a statue of him on Waikiki Beach, Oahu, Hawaii that greets people arriving at the beach.  There is also a chain of Duke’s restaurants that pay tribute to him.  Shot on Laniakea Beach, Oahu, Hawaii.

These Hawaiian Green Turtles come to Laniakea Beach to bask in the sun.  It’s quite incredible to be able to get so close to them. An amazing sight. Shot on Laniakea Beach, Oahu, Hawaii.

A photograph of some more beach huts in Hamworthy Park, Poole, Dorset, UK.  Well, they are kind of tough to resist.

Technicolor by Mark J P

You know I am unable to resist bicycles, especially when I see one as colourful as this! This single speed bike is apparently from createbikes.com. I think it looks great… fortunately I was wearing my sunglasses! Shot in Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset.

Sun drenched days and starlit nights by Mark J P

This evening at 8:30pm as the sun was setting over a rather foggy Bournemouth Beach it was still 24°C and people were still on the sand and enjoying the water. I absolutely love the summer.  Shot in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.

A shot taken on Knoll Beach in Swanage, Dorset, UK.  You can barely make them out but those are in fact Old Harry Rocks in the background.
