PSA - I'm looking for tips for my travels!

Here's Flamborough Head, in North Yorkshire - I normally get up there once or twice a year. RSPB Bempton is there too - always worth a visit

@bps_artish Pure vitamin sea - a walk in the dunes and along the beach in Skagen here in Danmark. It is so literally on the narrow tip of the Jylland peninsula that you can visibly see two seas meet.

Taken from a height on a cobblestoned platform on summer day with light blue sky and wispy clouds. I am looking down and across the dunes with high reeds and grasses and pathways of almost white sand through them. A picturesque red wooden cottage is almost hidden in one place behind trees and high grasses. In the distance, an old lighthouse. On the platform just in front of my feet, an embedded compass point show Ø - Danish for east. Looking east, a slice of deep blue open sea. The scene is ridiculously picturesque (as all of Skagen is) and peaceful.

@CiaraNi I've think I've heard of this place! Wasn't there a film set there with a couple of families staying in adjacent houses for the summer? #JoinIn

@bps_artish I'm clueless about films, but that sounds likely. I know there have been TV series based there - it is a ready-made film set with the beaches and views and characteristic yellow 'Skagen houses' with red roofs. It's a popular resort and many wealthy people have 'Summer cottages' there.

Taken at sunset on the beach at Gl. Skagen. Looking along a stony stretch of beach with the 'Dutch house' to the left on a dune. It is a yellow house with red roof, very distinctive, perched precariously on the dune right on the beach. The beach is almost grey, the sky is light grey with dark grey clouds. A single slice of orange setting sun can be seen on the horizon, just in part. The scene looks as if something is going to happen, something unnerving, perhaps.

@CiaraNi @bps_artish “pure vitamin sea” - love this!

And will shamelessly borrow if I may (while remembering it was this Irish-Dane(?) who first used it on here)!

@AeonMach @bps_artish It is all yours, use away! (And yes, Irish-Danish)

@bps_artish @CiaraNi
Grand!

I was pretty certain of the Irish bit! The only question was Ciara-daughter-of who? ;-)
