Time out by the coast

It's not all work here. I do take some time out (not enough though).

I recently went to West Bay (my nearest sea side location) and took this picture with the panorama camera function of my Moto G phone.

Got to say I'm pretty impressed by its capabilities. The phone does however sometimes throw a wobbly and the camera or email stops working. Normally by the time it's put that message on the screen it's working again but I have had to turn off the phone completely to reset the camera a couple of times.

The sounds of the sea shore to relax to.

I love being by the sea and I'm lucky that I can travel to my nearest beach in only half an hour. Being there helps to keep me calm and relaxed.

It's a shingle beach and so the sounds you hear are those of the waves crashing over the pebbles. Today I took some time out to record that sound. Here are 10 minutes to imagine yourself sitting by the sea shore.


It was recorded at West Bay in Dorset on 24th February 2014.

I haven't posted here for a while. I've been distracted by the ongoing train wreck of our economy and been waiting for the moment when the metal stops sliding on the rails and finally comes to rest. With so much mass and momentum behind it that may be a ways off yet.

To reset my head, I like to go to the coast and generally I'll have the camera with me. I thought I'd share a couple of pictures with from last Sunday.
