Beach scenes are a great way to demonstrate linear perspective and in my windswept scene I have almost created, by chance I hasten to add, an example of the vanishing point.
I love walking on Portuguese beaches in winter, almost always empty and occasionally very windswept. Mum and I walked on this stretch in December 2018, and the biggest challenge was coping with the soft sand. At one point we thought we would never get to the end! Now I was going to stop just with the one image, but I thought we all might like some sunshine. There is no vanishing point in this next one, but if you squint you can just about see the triangulation pillar on the dune.
I took this shot in November 2018, it is of one of my favourite beaches – Praio do Barril on Ilha de Tavira. Those of you that follow Restless Jo may recognise it, as like me she regularly shares photographs of this glorious 11km stretch of Portuguese coastline.

Soft sand is very hard to walk in. Wimp that I am, I usually walk close to the water where the sand is firmer and easier to walk on.

Not a wimp at all very sensible woman. Mum and i would have done the same but the tide was coming in so no hard sand to walk on!

I love beaches in any season, the sound of the waves, the wind and the sand! Perfect combo for happiness! I’m impressed by the sand in your photos, I always thought the Portuguese beaches had rocks and pebbles. https://teandpaper.ca/2020/07/28/memories/

Splendid vistas, Becky. I could do with a beach, though preferably one with less bluster than is presently gusting over Wenlock Edge. A little garden quiz and a bit of a recipe from me today: https://tishfarrell.com/2020/07/28/hands-up-who-knows-what-this-flower-is/
