This is just a test of using an iPhone to take a video and upload to Flickr using the email address shown in one's account settings. It was pretty windy and just a few surfers were thrashing about.

Scenes from Morro Bay, CA beach 21 June 2008
Blond female. Scenes from Morro Bay, CA beach next to Morro Rock on the first day of summer 21 June 2008 where temperatures ranged up to 85 degrees F - the sun was very intense burning many but it was easily dismissed due to the cool winds. This set features people of all shapes and sizes, many with interesting tattoos. Beach visitors were mostly a part of a wholesome family unit. Lots of children and couples. Ideal beach environment with no obnoxious people or mis-behavior to speak of. Not shown was the ample surfing activity. Photo by Michael "Mike" L. Baird bairdphotos.com 1D Mark III 100-400mm IS + 1.4X TE handheld (I should have brought my polarizer).

But this photo brings the very essence of the beach into my body, mind and soul. It is like a thought, an image I have cultivated and an image that pops up in my mind when I think or say "beach" or "west coast."

ONE OF THE BEST PHOTOS OF VENICE BEACH THAT I HAVE SEEN. HAVING SPENT SOME GREAT TIMES IN VENICE IN THE EARLY 60S, THIS PHOTO REMINDS ME OF THOSE GOLDEN TIMES ON THESE GOLDEN SANDS THAT HAVE NO BECOME GOLDEN MEMORIES. IT HAS BEEN FIFTY YEARS SINCE MY FEET FIRST TOUCHED THE SANDS OF VENICE IN THE SUMMER OF 1959 AND I THANK YOU FOR A PHOTO THAT TAKES ME BACK TO MY YOUTH. ROBERT

OKINAWA ! Maeda Flats - Gun Cave Beach

THE PERFECT BEACH FOR A LIFESTYLE...

OKINAWA ! Maeda Flats - Gun Cave Beach
From the bluff, looking northeast over the Gun Cave Beach. An overcast December day, 2006. Two of my three daughters looking up from below. At the water's edge, two skin divers adjusting their flippers before floating out over the pools filled with tropical wonders. The beach below has a 100-yard shoreline.

Floating on the hazy horizon, and just touching the left frame line of the image, you will see a very small triangle formation (probably easier to see with the ALL SIZES button). That is the center peak of the small island of IE JIMA, where the American war correspondent ERNIE PYLE was killed during the WW2 Battle of Okinawa. It is a 30 minute ferry ride from Motubu Peninsula (also seen on the Horizon above and beyond the sea-rocks in the photo).

"Maeda Flats" is the long-standing American name for this shallow, blue and green coral reef along the East China Sea just south of Maeda Point. It is only about 20-30 minutes north of Kadena Air Base, depending on the traffic, or the route you take to get here. For us, it's a little closer, being about 10-15 minutes from home.

The Flats are faced with a half-mile stretch of several hidden coves and "private" beaches like this one, all separated by narrow walls of high, coral outcroppings such as the one I am standing on to take this picture. On the other side of the rock wall seen at the far end of this beach, there is another hidden beach as just like this one, and more beyond that. There are even a few behind me.
