An afternoon at the beach in photos

My friend N. approached me last week if I was interested in coming over to Zandvoort for a bit of practicing Miksang photography on the beach. The weather was looking promising, in contrast to last time I was there, and I hadn't seen her in a while so I accepted her invitation.

N. invited a third friend and together we had a very pleasurable afternoon, walking and talking and taking snapshots here and there. There was really not much contemplativeness going on.

The day started out sunny and bright, later on the clouds and chilliness came in but halfway through the afternoon the sun was back. 

Friends and families were on the beach, hanging out, fishing, walking, running, swimming, playing or picnicking.

We also saw a couple of horse and carriages, we don't get to see that frequently so that was a surprise and a joy for sore eyes. 

We were anxious to see if the fishermen got any shrimp but we were not able to take a peek in their nets. I wonder if there are any shrimp left with all the big boats fishing the seas empty.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon with lots of laughter, catching-up, sun and fresh air. In short: lots of abundance.
