I absolutely love this time of year. In the midst of winter I forget, I think, just how long and light the evenings are in June: the contrast with the dark and the cold of only a couple of months ago, especially down here, is hard to fathom. A couple of evenings ago we went for a walk after dinner. Just the usual round-the-block stroll, past the pool as the sun was lowering itself down towards the horizon, the streaks of clouds providing the perfect canvas for its rays. The sea was calm, gently lapping against the rocks as the scent of seaweed wafted up through the warm air, and the pool itself was like a mirror. We were the only ones there, apart from a man walking his dog and humming to himself. It felt more than a little bit like heaven.

Beautiful photo. I love the mild and light evenings around this time of year too; there’s nothing nicer than sitting out with a drink and enjoying the quiet x
There is a certain kind of quiet that comes with summer evenings isn’t there? Totally agree x
holy moly that shot is breath takingly stunning! Looks like a gorgeous place to live xx
Ha thanks! It is gorgeous. And very photogenic 😉 xx
Wow, that photo is absolutely amazing! Beautiful summer evening, now if only we could have more of these stunning evenings year in and year out 😉
Thank you 🙂 I do sometimes wonder why I don’t live somewhere it’s summer all year round…
Love the colours and the reflection. Perfect. Summer evenings are wonderful. Just want to store up some to the essence and keep it for the winter nights. #AlphabetPhoto
The light on the clouds was just mesmerising! Especially with the reflections too.
Stunning Sophie! It really could be mistaken for another country. Beautiful reflections. I think you are always going to get more intriguing light for photographs at dusk and dawn but I’m so rarely out at those times! One day.. #alphabetphoto
You’re right the light is just so much more interesting at the start and end of the day – it felt a bit strange going for a walk after dinner but definitely worth it 🙂
This really is a heavenly photo, just beautiful x
Thank you x
Awww…. this is so calming. Beautiful photo. #alphabetphoto
It’s a very beautiful and calming place 🙂
What a beautiful photo – it is lovely having the lighter evenings isn’t it.
Absolutely 🙂
Wowzers, those colours and that reflection is just stunning!
Amazing the effect of the light with the clouds and the water…
Oh my word Sophie, I just adore this place. What an incredible photograph, you can almost imagine just sitting there with a Mojito in your hand. Love, love, love! Thank you so much for sharing with #alphabetphoto
Mmmmm mojitos… A girl after my own heart! It is looking particularly beautiful at the moment 🙂
