The weather was beautiful, it had been a hot day but it was cooling down nicely much to Archie's delight. It's been rather stifling for him just lately but the evening temperatures are more to his liking.
We laid out a couple of blankets on the sand and ate a simple picnic whilst many of the families who had enjoyed the beach during the day packed up and left. There weren't many people still on the beach by the time the sun was going down.
It's such a peaceful time of day and rather special to be in a beautiful place watching as the sun disappears and makes its way to another part of the world.
We've been really spoilt with the weather on holiday, it was still warm enough at this time of the day to be in T-shirts without the need for anything to cover our bare arms.
There was a line of cloud just above the horizon, the sun bobbed behind it for a minute or two before making a final appearance.
The sky was such a beautiful colour but all too soon the sun had disappeared for another day.
Watching the sun set is such a simple pleasure in life but one we can all enjoy.
Lovely images
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to watch.
DeleteLovely post and wonderful photo's, you must be doing well on your list. Our cats love the evenings and early mornings, they are outside, they spend most of the day inside in cool spots around the house.
ReplyDeleteWe all took lots of photos, these are just a small selection. The heat must be really uncomfortable for animals with fur. We had Archie's coat cut short again before we went away, I think he definitely felt the benefit of it.
DeleteBeautiful photos of the sunset. When I was asking Oliver what he want to do on holiday one of the things he asked to do was to have fish and chips by the sea and watch the sunset, I think I can manage that :-) To catch a fish was also on his list, that one i will leave to Mark :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's so many lovely beaches in Cornwall, you'll be able to take your pick. The place where we stay has four fishing lakes so Mick always does some fishing. Eleanor used to love fishing too but only went once this year. She still managed to catch more than Mick though.
DeleteOh, that is lovely, Jo!

It was such a lovely evening, so relaxing.
DeleteAwesome!!!! Your photos of that sunset are quite surreal Jo. How many left on your 50 before FIFTY? I'll email over the weekend, hopefully. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI don't think photos capture the moment all that well, it's the overall ambience which is quite something. I've still got lots to do on my 50 Before 50 list and just over six weeks left. There'll be plenty which I don't get round to.
DeleteFabulous photos, Jo. That's another thing crossed off your list! :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you. There's still lots more things to cross off the list and I'm running out of time.
DeleteBeautiful photos, lovely way to send the evening peace and tranquility xcx
ReplyDeleteWe loved our evenings spent on the beach. That's one of the great things about the good weather, the days were extended and we managed to squeeze every drop of time out of each day.
DeleteNice post and pictures. It's been a long time since I last watched the sun set, or rise. As you say such a simple pleasure. xx
ReplyDeleteI don't often stop to take notice of the end of the day so this was extra special, something I'll definitely do again soon.
DeleteBeautiful photographs. I'm very much looking forward to my own visit to Cornwall after seeing them. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI would pack my suitcase today and head back to Cornwall if I could, I love it there. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic holiday.
DeleteOur dogs are not enjoying the heat either, poor things. Your photos are quite stunning, such a beautiful and peaceful thing to watch xx
ReplyDeleteThis weather is miserable for animals, Archie doesn't like being too warm. The atmosphere on the beach at that time of day was quite special, we really enjoyed our evening picnics.
DeleteSimply gorgeous photos...!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeach, surf, sunset... -happy sigh-
We love where we live. But we see neither sunrise nor sunset, here. -sigh- Only a "peek" through trees, at the precise moment the sun passes, the "peak" spot. :-)
This was quite perfect. So happy for you, to have had it.
The beach is the perfect spot to watch the sun set, nothing at all to get in the way, and the sound of the waves lapping on the beach was the perfect accompaniment.
DeleteThank you for sharing the beautiful sunset with us, stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt was even more stunning in real life, I don't think photos quite capture the full beauty.
DeleteSuch a wonderful series of photographs …
ReplyDeleteBliss!
All the best Jan
It was so relaxing watching the sun go down, especially to the sound of the sea lapping on the beach.
DeleteGlorious! A perfect end to a perfect day. 😊
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely way to end the day, something I'll definitely do again.
DeleteGorgeous photographs Jo. It looks as if the sky is alight. It feels good to take the time to watch the sun set (especially at the beach) and yet I seldom do so. X
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with watching the sun set at the beach is that you have to be there quite late at this time of year, though when we've got weather like we have at the moment, it's such a pleasure.
DeleteSo true - no matter how many times we see the sunset, it never fails to inspire a moment of awe where you simply sit and stare at the incredible colours. To do that on a beach, would just bring the awesomeness of that moment up a few notches.
ReplyDeleteThe beach was the perfect place to watch the sunset. It was lovely spending so many evenings by the sea, it has such a different feel from the daytime.
DeleteI love this post, Jo! Your pictures are stunning. I felt I was with you, enjoying every moment. P. x
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful place to watch the sunset. I shall definitely make the effort to stay late again when we visit the coast.
DeleteWonderful photos! I love a good sunset :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely evening, so relaxing.
DeleteThat sunset is just glorious, you can't beat sitting on a beach with a picnic watching the sun go down. xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful experience, one I hope to repeat.
DeleteA lovely thing to do. And what a beautiful looking beach.
ReplyDeletex
I really enjoyed it, so relaxing. We love this particular beach and dogs are allowed off their leads there so it suits us perfectly.
DeleteCan't beat it can you,Beautiful photos and what great memories for you all.I love where I live.xx
ReplyDeleteWe love Cornwall too, I can see us returning many times yet.
