Something for the Weekend - Part 179 - Life's a beach!

Community Expert ,
Jan 06, 2023 Jan 06, 2023

We had a lot of fun with our end of year challenge in the snow. So, for our first challenge in 2023, I thought we might exchange the cold snow for warmer sand and head for the beach. I snapped this particular beach, at Sangobeg on the North coast of Scotland, a few years ago. It is a lovely place, even if the temperature is a bit lower than the Caribbean. The question is - what can you make with this empty scene?

Are you referring to something like this, Dave (I hope my camera captured the colour of wet Sangobeg sand)?

Dave your beach scene is very interesting. Here in Florida, we do not have any

coastal rock formations like that!

 

What really sparked my interest, is your rocks closely resembles the texture of our 350 year old Live Oak tree growing in the backyard.

I just added a little bit of PS, ivy and such. 😁

I almost used this, but I couldn't find one that would blend that well with the high quality that we have these days:

The 'You maniac! quote is great, but it so needs Charlton and his horse.  We did something like this a while back, but with 180 of these, it will be hard to find.  Nope. I found it, but it looks like I took a few liberties!
