A doggie week at the seaside

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We are currently on a break in Winterton-on-Sea on the Norfolk coast for a week. We being my wife and me with our two golden retrievers, Rosie and Teddy, and a friend and her golden retriever, Brie. We have rented a dog friendly cottage on the dunes close to the sea. This is a chance for me to find some photo and drone opportunities away from our normal scenery, but more importantly for the dogs to do what they love most, walking and playing in the sea, followed by eating and sleeping!

As this selection of photos from the first two days show, the walking and playing in the sea opportunities are vast. Fortunately the weather is good to great too. Photos 1 to 4 are from the DJI Mavic 3 Classic showing our cottage and the local surrounds;

07. The entire coast is slowly being taken by the sea, and this road is at an end

08. The only way down (or up in the case of this little chap) onto the beach

09. Looking South towards Great Yarmouth

Today, day two, we took the dogs and the camera on the same walk:
11. Meet the gang

12. They didn’t need much encouragement to get amongst the waves. Their recall is pretty good and we kept them very close to the waterline.

15. And finally heading for home for a hose down with fresh water and a rubdown before tea

Thanks for looking and, as always, comments welcome.

	Thank you @dogears, much appreciated. And you are right about the horizon in the last, missed that one 🫣.

	A nice series, Brian. Walking with dogs always results in attractive images. Good to see you can still handle your drone . Aerial views of villages are always charming and provide a great impression of your vacation memories. But the best part is the dogs, especially #11.
	Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

	Thank you Domien. I decided to only bring the a7Cii and the FE50f1.4GM specifically for ease of carrying and the fast tracking feature just for the dogs. (I do have the FE16-35f2.8GM in my luggage just in case).
