It’s almost winter here in Umhlanga, but the weather is perfect for a day at the beach. Lots of activity here, and only one person seems to be relaxing.
It`s a long t5ime since i have seen that beach, it seems to have had an uplift.We used to live in Pinetown and go up the north coast every weekend. the beaches in Plett are very boring compared with the north coast of Durban. Even Hermanus had interesting beaches with their little rock pools.
Can I have some of your sun, Sylvia? The UK is heading for the beginning of summer in three weeks, and yet today, when I walked the dog, I had to wear winter clothes because of the biting cold wind and grey skies D: It’s even worse up north in Scotland where it has snowed in places.
I will call upon the weather gods especially for you. Which part of the country are you visiting?
I love how there’s so much going on (even with a boat in the background) while that one person is relaxing through it all. This reminds me of searching for hermit crabs. There’s always so much to do (or not do) at the beach!
Relaxing is something I’m not good at and have no interest in… I would definitely be one of those people exploring on the rocks. I like the three layers.
Thanks, Roslyn. My ‘lying on the beach’ days are long gone. I’d much prefer to be walking, with the occasional sit down on a bench to admire the ocean view. 🙂
Wow. Now if that’s almost winter, I can’t wait to see some other seasons there. Lovely shot. Like the many levels and layers to this one……a feast of activity!
I tried to divide this photo into three layers : the sunbathing woman on the sand; the active people on the rocks; and the ships in the background …….three views in one!
Wonderful results!
I could not find the post where you tell us you were not feeling well. This winter weather seems perfect.
Yes, the winter weather is actually better than the summer. 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous and I wish I was there right now 🙂 xx
Lovely picture, Sylvia, we need some sun now too. Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 ❤
What a beautiful and colorful beach Sylvia – perfect!
Thanks, Mary. 🙂
The colors are so sharp! What a clear and wonderful day! 🙂
Love those rock pools at Umhlanga. Traveled the world and never come across any better.
Such a lovely pic on a lovely day!! It looks like a place to slow down and relax for awhile!
Thanks, Constance. Yes it’s really beautiful here, and the weather is perfect. 🙂
cool composition S – there is almost a straight line from the person sunning to the ship at sea – and what a nice sunny feel 🙂
Thanks so much, Yvette. Glad you liked this shot. 🙂

You would notice a great many changes here, some good and others not so good. There are now so many high rise buildings along the beach. 😦
Lovely shot – I’d like to be there!
Thanks, Elaine. Come on over. The weather’s lovely. 🙂
I wish I could! 🙂
Wish I were there. It’s cold, rainy and gray here today.
I really feel for you, Juliann. I wish I could send you some sunshine and warmth. 🙂

Oh, that sounds really awful! Please make sure that summer weather is firmly in place by the time I get there in about 3 weeks. 🙂

This is very true, Sheila. The choice is ours. 🙂 Glad you like the photo.
A lovely day indeed, and I’m sure just being there warmed your heart.
Thanks, Frank. Yes it’s a lovely place to recuperate. 🙂
Hope you are feeling better.
Looks like paradise to me!
Me too, Sue. I think lots of beach-goers were in seventh heaven. 🙂
Such a beautiful beach… Have a great week… 🙂
Yes it really is great here, Hope your week is a good one too. 🙂

Where’s the snow? 🙂 Great shot of everyone busy doing something…even if it’s just relaxing in the sand.
This beach has never seen snow. 🙂 Glad you liked the photo. xx
This is exactly how winter should be…warm and sunny! Beautiful photo, Sylvia!
Thanks, Jill. I so agree with you. 🙂
What a gorgeous weather. I wish we had this weather today. The wind here is just too much for us today. #mysundayphoto
That’s not good. Wind is my absolute worst. It plays havoc with my hair. 😀
I would be bored out of my skull if I were forced to lay there on the beach in the sun. Luckily I don’t have to do that. 😉
My sunbathing days are long over, Gunta. I agree with you. I can’t sit on the beach and do nothing. The occasional sit down on a bench is okay though.
Lyk lekker!
What a gorgeous beach!
What a lot of stones on the beach.
It’s so beautiful there, Sylvia! I hope you’ll soon feel much better so you can fully enjoy the beauty of this gorgeous coast!
Wow. Now if that’s almost winter, I can’t wait to see some other seasons there. Lovely shot. Like the many levels and layers to this one……a feast of activity!
What lovely rocks to sit and climb on! Hope you’re feeling up to par.
Wow it looks so warm and welcoming
Thank you for linking up
Love this shot! SO MANY small splashes of colour 🙂
…Why don’t we wear any of them in the winter??
Have a wonderful Sunday
KZN at its best 😉
Those waves look perfect for surfing
I am certain other people in the picture were relaxing too 🙂
Wie schön liebe Grüße und einen schönen Sonntag eine große Umarmung Gislinde
Lovely to see some sunshine on a very wet grey Sunday in Cornwall Sylvia!
Gorgeous, lovely piccie.

Happy Sunday 🙂
Sand, sea and sun…perfect. Enjoy your Sunday AD:-)
Hope this means you are out and about and feeling better.

Lovely photo. Looks as if the weather plays along with your visit. Enjoy your stay! 🙂
What a perfect “almost winter”, it’s looks wonderful… 🙂
Nice shot…about to head off to the beach tomorrow morning 🙂
