Description
There's something very powerful about finding snow in summer.

Eastbourne, a popular seaside destination, is located on the south coast of England. This is a favorite place of mine, often visited en route to Beachy Head.
Films such as Agatha Christie's Poirot episode Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan" and Brighton Rock were set here.

While this beach scene was really captured on an August afternoon, it does seem hard to believe this was taken in high summer. It may have been a cool spell, after some rainy days; I truly don't remember now. There are no swimsuits here, no flipflops or sunhats, and the beach is relatively quiet. It almost looks like a spring season scene, with people fully clothed, lying on the beach and wading in the water ... impatient for the hot season to arrive.
Almost There was posted some time back; it was a softer, more subtle version of this image. Here: the version that shows more definitively the incredible the aquamarine hues of sky and water, and why this South England coastline is a favorite of mine.

Terrific vintage tones here. Great dynamics with the expanses of sand and sea receding to a potential threatening sky. I feel like I just went back decades in time. L/F

Not much changes here over the years , Glenn. Which is nice, I like the timelessness of this area. And the clean, clear sky/water hues! Thank you so very much! Always nice to heart from you:))

Connie Handscomb replied:
The beach itself is a bit rocky; for me, it's the water & the sky that makes it :))
