Description
The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.

* ------------------------ *
While it looks like it could be, this isn't a beach where I live in Canada: this one is on the Flemish coast in West Flanders, Belgium, in a resort city called Oostende.
Oostende has been a port city since the 13th century, and this fine, sandy (long) beach has been the location for several well-known modern films.
It is also a great place to get an ice cream cone :))

This has a Rockwell look to it, Connie. One is drawn into this as one must see exactly what these people are doing. This is over the top!!! FAV.

Bill OConnor
Fantastic shot Connie -- the very scale of the people draws the eye -- we have to move closer to observe what all are doing -- if Bosch wasn't so glum, maybe he'd have painted this wonderful beach scene! L/F
Connie Handscomb replied:
Maybe he might have done so, Bill; very astute of you .. & thank you so much! :)))
