Last Sunday, I went for a walk along the seashore of Sentosa with a friend. I’ve been kind of busy in the last couple of months so I seldom went out at weekends. It was so excited to see the blue ocean again. Living far away from the sea, I always envy those who lives near it. There is much enjoyment to be gained by strolling along the seashore! As the sun began to set and sky turned red, my memory flooded back to six months ago.
It was one month before December 16th, the day I left China. I went on a vacation on Hainan Island. Mom and I only had a handful of trips together and that is one of them. I spent almost five days staying at the seaside with my mother, watching the ships passing by, and letting the softness and tenderness get under my skin. I always believe that ocean is a symbol of peace and beauty. Sometimes I would think how the ocean resembles a huge rough sapphire and how the beauty makes me feel so happy as well as sad at the same time.
On the forth day of the trip, I went for a stroll along the seashore at sunset. I saw the splash of pieces of seashells lay scattered on the beach and small holes covered the sand where the crabs had dug in. the wind felt soft and warm and the water not very chilling. I saw the sun changing color from a yellow to an orange and then to a red ball hanging over the horizon. I saw a fisherman’s boat far in the distance...
Walking along the seashore is more than being a pleasure. The sea breezes are highly beneficial, so, a walk along the seashore is recommendable to those who are so lucky to live at places where the seashore is within their easy reach.

I am impressed with what you wrote. Certainly, walking alone the beach is an entertainment. You can enjoy the nature. There are so many interesting things around the beach. You can just release yourself from the pressure in your daily life. Maybe you are really busy in your routine, but you just have to spend a little time and you can have a great enjoyment. It may give you a whole new world.

ReplyDeleteIt is good that you appreciate and value the Beauty of Nature, what the sea, sun, sky and trees have to offer us all.
All of Nature is a thing of Beauty. And "a thing of beauty is a joy forever." (John Keats)
I have never seen the sea until I came to Singapore. The sea is really broad. When you walk along the sea shore, the wind blows in your face, which is really comfortable. If you sit on the beach seeing the horizontal, feeling the sea wind and listening the sound of the wave, you can have a scence that how great the nature is. Compared with the nature, we are just a small part. At this moment, you will be lost in it. All the problems in our daily-life will disappear. I think this is what the nature brings to our spirit. It is really an unforgetable experience.
