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

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?

The image looked a bit like the backgrounds the show Naked and Afraid uses for their titles, so I modified the image and uh, the title:

It's hard to believe, but this first went out in 1967, so I might be the only person who saw it. 😞

"The Prisoner"? I loved that show!

That's two of us then Rafael.  I spent an afternoon on the endless beach at Portmeirion (where they filmed The Prisoner).  My dog — an English Setter — ran and ran for hours chasing seagulls.  I was worried that her heart would explode!  We saw some tourists get murdered in cold blood by those big white balloons, so we legged it back to England and civilisation. 

 

I found this image while looking for image elements.  Would that be 16mm?  It's interesting that a TV show from that long ago would actually have had been made with excellent image quality, and then broardcast in that horible 625 lines (PAL) and only 570 odd lines were active.  I wonder if they ever remastered the show for modern broadcast standards?

It's all a matter of perspective...

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

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. 😁
