Description
It was a toss up for the image title, either 'Endless Summer' or 'Blot on the Landscape', does anybody remember the 1975 novel by Tom Sharpe ?
I have got some vague memories of it, but I always liked Tom Sharpe's sense of humour ... apparently it was also made into an English TV series, Andrea [durleybeachbum] or Jeff [jayfar] may have seen it, unfortunately I have never had that pleasure.

Somehow, this beach scene reminded me of the title, with that vibrant beach umbrella colour - as the 'BLOT' in the landscape ;P
BTW - we are still experiencing daytime temperatures around 28-30C (85F) - despite being well into Autumn by now, marvellous !!!

Great capture

I tried to imagine the picture without the umbrella but, whilst it would have made a great picture, the inclusion has really made this a super picture. BTW I have not seen the series.

Very beautiful photo! I love the blue and white with the red contrast of the umbrella! I can hear the sound of the waves! Enjoy the good weather!

Digging the contrasts and vibrancy, still feels like summer to me...hmm, maybe there is something to this global warming ? And as for a long summer, I don't mind at all...way better than being cold and soggy ! Just watch out for them low flyin' seagull's ! ~Cheers~

Such a splendid eye catcher you have created here, dear Brigitchen. The red and blue are popping up in a fantastic way. Your endless summer makes me want to take part in such a scene. Desire to hear the surf, reading a book, the warmth of the sun, and the pure ocean air. Indeed, an endless row of beautiful associations come by here, viewing your photo, dear one. Enjoy as long as you can, and bring this summer to Europe, please ;-).

I read all those Tom Sharpe books! I am soooo envious about all that sunshine, although the actual temperature is a little high for me. Love the pic!

I don't recall the book, but I think you chose the right title for this anyway. It's definitely an "endless summer" picture, and a fantastic shot.

Ah, the leisure life. Just looking at this image relaxes me. I really must get some sand between my toes this summer.

a shot and vista to envy, Brit!

A beautiful photo and a few surfers out there would be perfect for an 'Endless Summer' movie. If I remember parts of the movie were filmed in coasts of Australia and New Zealand.

Beautiful capture! It has a timeless quality. Your title is perfect! It looks like they could just stay in that spot forever, or at least for the day. But as the sun moves across the sky, they will have to get up and follow their own bit of shade. I love the colors and textures. The red really pops against the blue and the clouds add a softness to the sky that works well with the whole relaxed feel. We are having a relatively mild summer so far. Of course that still means it's hot, just not expletive deleted hot. We haven't had any triple digits highs yet.

Beautiful. Reminds me of some of Jack Vettriano's paintings.
