Great one!
Thank you!
Looks amazing, Hugh. Love the far perspective. The water looks inviting but I expect despite the sunshine it would be cold.
The sea is always cold in the UK, Mary. However, very refreshing on hot, humid days.
I think you should be able to write your stories there Hugh! Let’s start a petition.
So do I, Jan. If it was a good enough place for Agatha to write her stories, then why not me?
Exactly!
What beautiful views those are. Where is this?
It’s Burgh Island (on the south coast of the UK), Erika. The hotel is famous for Agatha Christie. It’s said that she wrote some of her books while staying at the hotel.
This makes so much sense. It looks like a setting for an Agatha Christie movie. And I can only imagine how inspiring it must be for an author… how many stories did you write there?
Oh, I wasn’t staying at the hotel. They wouldn’t let me in! Not even for a coffee. It’s a very exclusive hotel for paying guests only. I’m glad I got the photos, though.
Oh😄 So, it is only something to watch from afar for the “economy” class😄
Wow, Hugh, what an amazing perspective of both near and far. Both views are gorgeous and the light is wonderful!
Thanks, Terri. Taken with an iPhone. The weather was perfect for taking photos that day. I was amazed by how many ‘near and far’ photos I had. I thought these were the best ones to showcase.
Great pictures, Hugh.
Thank you, Robbie.
I would use a beach right now, Hugh. 🙂
Luckily, we live so close to one, Diana. It’s even lovely in the wind and rain during the winter. Fewer people about then, but just as beautiful, I think.
The weather, the beach, the view . . . all lovely!
It was a lovely day (from what I remember of it). The beautiful weather certainly helped.
Wow! What an interesting place! But, oh, the beach – I want a swim!
I dipped my toes in, and the water felt refreshing. As a non-swimmer, that’s as far as I would go, though.
Nice fit for the theme, Hugh. The “Far” is my preference 🙂
That’s my favourite too, Aimer. Probably, because I like beach scenes, especially the colours on the beach umbrellas.
You are a talented photographer, Hugh. These are incredible images.
Thank you, Donna. Taken with an iPhone.
What a view from that property!
Looking back to where I took the photo? I took the photo of the beach and hotel in the distance from the top of a sandbank. It’s a beautiful place.
Looks gorgeous!
That looks fabulous, Hugh! Where is it?
It’s Burgh Island, Cathy. The hotel is famous for Agatha Christie. It’s said that she wrote some of her books while staying at the hotel. They would not let us in (we only wanted a coffee and to look around). It’s a very exclusive hotel. You have to wear black tie every evening for dinner.
Ah yes, I’ve heard of it. Sounds too posh for me 😉
They wouldn’t let me in, Cathy. And I only wanted a coffee and maybe a tour of the room Agatha used to write her books. However, later that day, I actually got to walk around Agatha’s real house. Now owned by the National Trust, it was a lovely tour. 😀
I think that was very mean but I’m glad you got to go round Agatha’s house. I’ve only passed it on a river cruise but a visit is on my bucket list.
Lovely thoughts Hugh
Thanks, Willow.
Wish I were there right now 😄
Just close your eyes, and you could be.
