Way To The Beach⛱️

summer season, time for long days at the beach, bright sun, sea and beautiful memories. I love how the beauty is in the very smallest details, such as way to the beach, when you have no goals to be accomplished that day, you only enjoy the moment an your only plan for the day is the beach. Some people only need their swimsuits, others make it a joyful experience and bring lots of entertainment. At the end, we are all only walking towards the day full of joy.

The photograph was created during our family vacation, summer 2023.
