Aura of beaches
Sun and seas and sandy shores
Timeless summer dreams

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Timeless indeed!!!Lovely picture. Sepia is indeed a wonderful colour.
I LOVE your sepia scenes! They are so peaceful!
Indeed timeless...to me there is nothing more comforting that the sounds and smells of the sea...not to mention that wonderful view you have!
I walked out on my porch last night just to listen to the sounds of the snow...total silence, the smell...nothing but cold emptyness...a quiet beauty we endure once a year...I think I'll hunker down today with many cups of coffee and let the winds finish their soft, white sculptures in my drive.
At least we're on the downhill side...enjoy your beverage and the sunburn...I'll be thinkin' of ya in your turn in the sun.
Hugs

That is a nice choice for sepia...
I love water pictures done with sepia. They just take on a whole different feel.
Makes me long for summer and the beach!
I love how the little dock appears to just go off into the water and mist! beautiful scene
Your photos make me jealous that it's summer there!
How lovely! Very classic looking.
Nice shot and that sepia tone creates a nostalgic, peaceful mood.
