@lnxw48a1 It's a very nice spot.

@SeventhMagpie I used to live in a working port city in England (home of the Titanic, in fact!) and it was not open sea but still a significant expanse of water. I do miss my walks around it.

@SeventhMagpie a fairly typical view from my regular strolls on the water front.

@sullybiker This looks like ours from one side. :)

@SeventhMagpie I used to live just a couple of hundred meters from there, in a waterfront apartment (back in my bachelor days, haha) it was very nice apart from on weekends when the sailing people would descend and park their Range Rovers in my spot.

@sullybiker When I was a kid, we used to live close to the beach. :) However, back then people did not own so many cars, so it was much better in that sense. 😁

Sometimes I miss that place. It was really tiny, but it was in a nice area and the school I went to was basically across the road.

@SeventhMagpie Very, very occasionally you'd get a blood orange sunset. I only got a picture of it once, although this wasn't the best looking one I'd seen, but that time I didn't have a camera!

@sullybiker Ah, the colours of dawns and sunsets! :)

My grandfather, who was a sailor, taught me a... I don't know how this piece of sea wisdom is called, actually. 😆 Something like a proverb in a form of a short verse. :) It said some like: "When the sun is red in the evening, a sailor has nothing to fear. And when the sun is red in the morning, it doesn't sit well with a sailor."

@SeventhMagpie That sounds a little bit like 'Red sky at night, shepherd's delight, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning'

@sullybiker Yes, it must be the same piece of wisdom, only for different professions. :)

@SeventhMagpie Right! It's so curious how that happens.

@sullybiker Some universal truths, I think. :) This has to do with weather predictions, which has always been important. Back when there were no weather forecasts, people had to notice things. :)
