I spotted these two ladies on the beach at Royan on a cold but sunny day long after the tourists had all gone home. They had set themselves up right in the middle of the biggest beach at Royan and got themselves comfy for a chat.
It made me think of the old adage that there is no such thing as bad weather, just inadequate clothing.
They certainly dressed well for the conditions. This certainly took planning and foresight. Nobody just wanders around with a couple of chairs in case they might find a nice spot to sit! And look how well wrapped up they are!
I think this image speaks to the essential human need to connect….how relationships are so important to we humans. We are prepared to go to great lengths to communicate, to share, to pass some together.
But why didn’t they just sit at home, or in a cosy cafe? I’m guessing they knew there was an extra benefit to be gained from spending time in Nature…..some boost from the sea air, and the sunlight.
Or maybe they had something very private to discuss, and made sure they’d picked a spot well out of hearing range of anybody else?!
What do you think?
