A day at the beach (Miura and Tsukuihama Beach)

When I got up in the morning I looked out the window and I had a feeling that it was a good day to go to the beach. So, after breakfast I packed my camera gear and a tripod and I traveled to Miura beach by the Keikyu line train.

It's a short walk from Miurakaigon train station and as soon as I arrived at the beach I knew it was a good idea to visit today.

It's not that the waves are so big that makes this interesting; it's a combination of the waves, the sandy beach and the beautiful cloudy sky. It's also nice that I'm the only person here.

Moving down the beach I'm captivated by the waves rolling in and receding back into the sea.

I just stay in one spot for awhile.

Every wave is different.

I'm so happy to be here.

Some people my find this monotonous, I find it a good way to forget about the rest of the world (and all the troubles in it) and to be a peace with mother nature. 

The only thing that would make this moment better would be a nice hot cup of coffee. Next time I'll bring a thermos.

For people that want to stay here for a longtime there's an old log to sit on.

This is my favorite part of the beach.

I've photographed these rocks so many times and I never get tired of it. 

I put my camera in panoramic mode.

I'll try one in monochrome too!

Walking back up the beach I see that the daikon radish have been hung on racks to dry in the sun.

To my right there's and old boat upside down the beach. This boat has been here forever. 

Walking toward Tsukuihama beach and there are more racks of daikon radish. 

I have arrived at Tsukuihama; it's a different kind of beach.

Tetrapods line the beach and poke out to sea.

There are small fishing ports along the way here.

Last shot before I wrap this up and walk to a small bakery nearby. It's after 12:00 and I'm hungry!  

Thanks for stopping by,
Mike
