Take Me To The Beach ...

englishtchrivy (72) in travel • 6 years ago (edited)

I don't care whether ...

it's wet...

windy and chilly there right now...

just take me to the beach ...

for I miss that sea scent that clings to my cheek

kissed by the damp in the shore ..

and the feel of my boots

sinking in the soft, wet sand of that wide spread shore ...

most of all ...

my kite asks to once again,

let her feel the bosom of it's lover ...

the mighty blowing wind

Take me to the beach ..

Have you ever been to any of the beaches in The Netherlands? Which one? If you have been to any of them, then you know this is a common sight.

Unfortunately, in summer, that wide spread shore is not as clean as what it looks like here. It's filled with cottages and half naked bodies enjoying the beautiful spectacle of blue in front of them.

Many years ago, I still remember watching the sun setting and there were just thin and almost flat shells that trashed this wide spread shore. These days, it's not like that .. despite that those "OC" labeled trashcans exist there many people still leave their trash on the shore.

The scariest of them isn't the broken glass from beers - it's plastic!

You, you know what it's like swimming in murky waters with low RC - so power yourself up.. I mean .. think about how any fish and sea creatures might suffocate from the plastic and any other trash you've left behind or worse ... have thrown in the water.

Well, most of those probably want to live in Mars where they'd probably go polluting as well.

Wonderful nature is always being spoilt by the human population. great photos and poem. I think there should be strict laws which prevent people from polluting the area.

Thank you.

I think so, too but even if that would be the case, it would be hard to police thousands of those.

Dear Ivy,
yeah, I'd like to be by the sea, too.
I've already been to a beach in the Netherlands. But I don't know where anymore ;-)
Happy holidays for you and your loved ones!
