I love the sea in all its moods.

I love the sea in all its moods

I love swimming in clear blue seas and idling on white sandy beaches,clambering over rock pools,fishing in rock pools,seeing starfish and collecting shells.Building sandcastles is fun too,burying grandmother in the sand.

Watching stormy seas is exciting,or watching the sunset over a calm sea,jumping waves,or sailing.In Australia I dove for and collected shells to make necklaces and mosaics.Collected fish skeletons, and played with live stingrays,watched sea horses and strange sea life.Sharks terrify.

The sea is a way of life for me.Sometimes I sit and watch the sea,or the ships in a nearby harbor,where I read and imagine sea battles unfolding efore me,

Margaret River WA was famous for surfers riding huge waves.

Many artists have captured the moods of the sea,or great ships.Mystery stories and adventures are woven around the sea…TheWreck of the Mary Deare,The unsinkable Titanic,Pirates of the Caribbean,The life of Pi,On the Beach.

As memes,gifs,movies,artists,paintings,pictures,stories abound,feel free to post your favorites.Most of all enjoy.

I live near the sea,but have not yet achieved a small beach house….dream.

Decadent Sixties

The Decadent Sixties

Living was good and money was easy.after the war the boomers had money to spend.

The age of Pop festivals,Pop Music,Drugs. sex and Rock and Roll.

Pop Stars vied with each other to buy beautiful Stately Homes.It was the age of the Stones and the Beatles.However there were undertones of the Black Arts.It was a world of fashion Art and Music,

Children loved Winnie the Pooh,Eyyore,Piglet,Tigger,Kanga,Roo and Christopher Robon.

The childhood home for Christopher Robin was Crotchford House.was Crotchford Manor.Crotchford Manor was bought by Brian Jones,who believed he was under a voodoo curse,and died a mysterious death in his swimming pool.Anita Pallenber an actress and model shared her dugs backstage with the Stones,and was the muse of BrianJones , Mick Jagger and Bill Wyman.It was there I see a red Door and I want to paintbit Black was written.There were undertones in the village of Crotchford,which housed a ring of Satan worshippers.AAMilne joined the ring of worshippers,and hence Winnie the Pooh is no longer read to children and fell from popularity.

Jimmiy Page bought the house in Scotland that had belonged to Aleister Crowly once classified as the most evil man in Britain,it had originally been a church that burned to the ground.Jimmy said strange things happened in that house,History repeated and the house was gutted by fire yet again

The Beatles bought huge homes in Surrey UK.The Kinks too.

Remember this is a non political site and no rligious commentary.Please post memes gifs music trailers or videos of the sixties,fashion pop rock your favorite artists.

Odd spots and Beautiful spots near the sea.

I love the sea in all its moods.

The weather is so gray and miserable Im dying for the summer and beaches.

I prefer deserted spots,with no people around.

There are seaside and surfing spots.

There are some very odd spots,and some of rare beauty.Perhaps one of the most interesting is Pamakkuke in western Turkey,its a petrified mountain glisteng white with pools to Bathe in.

I journed there by bus four hours from Kusadesejust as we were about to get out of the bus.there was a huge thunder storm and the road was like a river.We had to sit in the bus and could only look at the mountain.we were stuck in the riber and the men had to free the bus.All my luggage was wet through.

I was offered a bed in the Directors office at 1am when we arrived in Izmir,he wok me at 5 am as his family had invited me to stay in his home…I gladly accepted and I was treated like the family.

The coolest place in hot sunny Istanbul is under the city,called the Basilica water cistern,quite amazing architecture with pillars and Medusers head carved in stone.

Theres also the spice market.Istanbul is magic and fascinating,good food and scenery.

Below is Waterfall beach Western Australia,spectacular,one of the best places in the world for beaches.

There are also some odd images of buildings in the US.

Post videos,nusic,images gifs of unusual or stunning places.

Remember no religious comments or politics here,this is a family site.

Oh and we have a birthday to celebrate for Steve a good friend here.Happy Birthday Steve.

Enjoy…Lian.
