The Cove of My Desire

I feel that I am fortunate by far compared to someone in the more populous towns or cities our realm. When I gaze from my front window I look at one of the most admired natural and sought after scenes world wide.
We all know how attractive sandy beaches are sought after by hoards who love sunshine holidays in every corner of the world.
Well, so many meters from my living room window is situated a delightful sandy beach; although not a crowd puller of numerous tourists, purely due to its inconspicuous dimensions that arouses only a somewhat passing interest. For me though, an immense alluring sense of apprecation prevails.
This rather small entity, really better described as being a cove, when I consider it in perspective and it's special uplifting qualities, I gain satisfaction hardly possible from larger scapes.
The great attraction provided in any seashore situatation is, we shall say at present, is the sea. Did any admirer realize what a calming effect it has on the spirit with its gentle murmerings on a sun drenched day in the summer. The rocks in their shades and colours and the shapes that are so difficult for an artist to catch and reproduce gives also a definate sense of unending cohesion. All in all this could be one of the last remaining entities for us all to joy in.

You get negative ions from being close to the sea, with the waves crashing onto the shore. Negative ions are good, you also get negative ions from a flowing river, a shower ( don't you always feel better after a shower? That's the negative ions doing their work) I also think that too much electrical appliances and pylons have a bad effect/affect on us. Therefore living near the sea, or a river is good for you, well unless the river bursts it's banks and you get flooded, but you gotta take the good with the bad yeah?

Any way you could get hold of a small dig.camera and provide us with pictures, Island Wanderer? I would love to see that cove of yours.

I visited Mull last year and again this year and will be up again shortly so it sounds like a trip over to Tiree is a must. I know what you mean about the calming affect, I felt it all the time I was in your lovely Hebridean isles. SJ
