Autumnal beachfront at Nice (Côte d’Azur). The sea retains its azure magic even during the sometimes stormy weather.

The beach is covered with large pebbles, but an artificial stretch of sand gets arranged for tourists to play beach volleyball etc. The playing field is visible on most beachfront-pictures, which are usually taken from Mt. Boron.

About two thirds of the way from Haukeliseter Fjellstue to Hellevassbu, the way can be seen on the right side, a small lake invites for a quick dip in the water. There even is a small sandy beach about 3 m wide but beware, the water is icy.

Weather like this is not uncommon at the Hardangervidda (de), a mountain plateau in western Norway. At the Rembesdalseter hut clouds moving up the last meters of Hardangerfjord continue their way across Rembesdalvatnet. If you ever happen to come across this remote place, make sure to collect delicious blueberries growing everywhere.
