Pleasure Beach

I'm fortunate enough to live 2 minutes drive from this beach. The title refers to the fact that even during my hour or so shooting last night, there were so many people getting enjoyment out of the area, from dog walkers to people fishing, people swimming and families enjoying the last of the light following a full day on the beach.

I'm sure if I hadn't taken up photography, which teaches you how to see, I might never have realized quite how lucky I am. I wonder how many others would have taken their surroundings for granted before discovering life through photographer’s eyes?
