Mari Ermi.
This is the name of a phenomenal beach a few km from our place.
A blindingly white beach of rice grain sized quartz sand, bordered by a turquoise sea.
I was entranced by the sand.
The water was clear and warm, I just did not want to leave.

Hello Simone,

I can see why you would not want to leave  ...the sand looks like a pile of jewels.

So jealous I want to be there!

Cheers

That's beautiful.  The sand is very fascinating; nature's jewel-box

Cheers Bez, I haven't heard from you for a while, thanks for the comment.
It was my first time in Sardinia, I loved it and so did the rest of my family so it is likely we'll go back.
Strongly recommended!

A few nightscapes.
No Northern Lights here, but a fairly deep, clear sky, a gentle breeze and about 20 degC temperature :)

The discerning eye will clearly the the Starry Plough in the last image.

Simone, these are beautiful nightscapes with the calm water reflecting the starry sky and star trails...

Thank you all for your comments.
And now some sunset shots from "my" terrace on the beach.

All the images are Jpeg SOOC.
