Lens-Artists Challenge: Egídio sets up the challege “Can you select only a few of your best landscape photographs?” – read more here.

For this challenge I dug up my all-time favourite beachscapes.

Praia de Mira (Portugal) – 2007 – I remember the day I took this picture. We were lost on a beachside road that seemed to end abruptly, so we decided to just go for a walk on the sand instead. Every time I look at it, I can almost smell the sea.

Brighton Beach (UK) – 2010 – I woke up one day to quite a lot of snow at the front door. What would you do if that happened to you? I grabbed my camera and hit the streets of Brighton. It was the first time I saw snow all the way to the sea. The snow was still, in most cases, fluffy white…

Praia do Rosa (Brazil) – 2009 – I took these pictures during a surf holiday in Praia do Rosa, south of Brazil. I was experimenting a lot with film photography and panorama montages – also posted here: Weekend plans and panoramic views
