Over a Greenjello Anne is hosting a photo week project based on "in the neighbourhood" and I decided to take part.
Today is peaceful....
I live in a neighbourhood (notice the UK spelling - a difference already) in the City Centre so it is never very peaceful, with buses and cars buzzing up and down the road most of the day and night. I do have shutters on my bedroom window which help to make it a more peaceful place, but you have to search for true peace in a city centre. It can usually be found in a park - sitting solitary on a bench looking at the trees and skies, but in my city there are a few other places to escape to for peace, the riverside or the beach. I live close to the sea and cannot imagine not feeling the salty air on my skin and being able to walk on the sand. Whilst in Colorado last week I realised that the sea would be one of the things that I would miss if I were to live in Colorado and everytime I looked over the plain from Boulder towards Denver I kept thinking I would see the sea....

Your pictures are always beautiful - you are lucky to have the sea where you live.
very peaceful, very pretty.
I enjoyed your posts about your travels.
I grew up in Massachusetts, and we were given the British and the American spelling of words and told either was correct to use. to this day, I'll sometimes use a British spelling, and get picked up on spell check. I often take several minutes trying to figure out what I've done wrong, since it looks correct to me.
I grew up by the ocean, too, and thought I'd never get used to living inland, but it seems to be possible. I do miss the clean, salty air!
I love the ocean. Beautiful photos - very peaceful :)
Great photos - love the one of the trees the best.
i could fall into your gorgeous photos. visiting here is like travelling from my desk chair. lovely!
i have always lived in chicago, so the big lake is what i would miss. i think i would love the sea, tho. so salty and beautiful.
such lovely photos... i have often imagined living by the sea... it sounds amazing. i suppose here there are the rivers but it doesn't seem quite the same :)
xo
Welcome home! I only lived near the ocean a few years, but I still miss it. You are lucky!
I miss the ocean to! the rhein is nice but just not the same. glad to hear/see you had a good time on your holidays and look forward to hearing all the stories on friday!! can't wait :-)
I feel the same way...I always have to live close to the sea. I'm lucky at the moment, I actually have a somewhat view through the trees of the harbour & we can walk to our local beach (a long walk). I'd feel lost if I was living further inland.
I found you through Green Jello, and glad to be here! Love your photos!!!
Beautiful pictures! After having lived all my life by the coast I can relate so much to the need of living close to the sea.
You don’t have to wander around the globe to make wonderful photos! The project sounds like fun! I live in a city centre, but close to the coast (sea and beach) and close to some parcs and the green heart of the country. I have lived near the sea all my life and can’t imagine to live without it. I don’t like the beach during tourist-seasons though!
from my point of view, the ocean is your very neighbourhood....and one which is very attracting !! I would love to live close to the ocean!
