Olá António,
una imagen espectacular de esta playa con el avión sobre ella después de su aterrizaje.
Es una escena poco habitual, y tiene fuerza e interés gráfico.
Me gusta la fuerte luz del sol que hace brillar el mar y la arena, dando unas bonitas sombras y creando un buen contraste con el cielo azul tan limpio.
Espléndido trabajo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hello Antonio! baba_flies means actually that Barbara flies sometimes in little Cessnas (two or four seaters) just like this one, but not as a pilot but as a pilot's girlfriend, and this picture makes my heart go faster, just a little, or maybe even a lot. I have never landed on a beach but many times on Australian runways. This is a beautiful picture with the ocean sparkling under the hot Australian sun with the waves approaching the land. Your take-off picture - by the way - is as good I find with the shadow on the sand but both ways are exciting, at least for me. Your picture is a little adventure for me, I just love it. Barbara.

Hi Antonio,
Nice beach, but this aircraft is fantastic! It is strange that it is possible tpo land on the beach, that the sand is not to soft. In Daytona there are cars on the beach. I like the sea, very drammatic.

Hi Antonio,
A lot of cinematic feeling with the landing of the small plane to the sand.Also a beautiful composition with lines and nice coloring and lighting...

wishes for the new week,
Thomas

Ciao Antonio,
besides the photo, I also have the passion for the flight (I am a pilot not professional of small airplane ultralight), for which this beautiful image is a true pleasure for me. Very beautiful and suggestive also the WS. Compliments, really a good job.
Ciao
Paolo.

Salut Antonio
Voilà une façon très spéciale d'aller à la plage. Pas facile à imaginer dans certaines criques de France!!
Une photo que je trouve spectaculaire et superbement réalisée.
Amicalement

Hi Antonio

Good catch of the beach landing strip & plane, with superb colour, lighting & sharpness. I like the 2 fishermen framed by the right wing. Tfs!

Hi Antonio, A very good series of this famous sand island place. The plane adds another dimension. Good to see the surf running and the blue skies, something i am missing in China at present. When home easy to take that for granted. TFS. Murray.

Hi Antonio! Sorry for naming you Roberto...
Before I opened the thumbnail,I knew this must be fraser island.I spent three nights there and loved this unique place .And I remember well my hardest "english lessons"
We have been a group of 6 people:me ,a guy from Canada,one fronm the US,one from London,one scottish girl from Glasgow and one from ireland.I think,I did not listen and talk after 8 pm and a few VB.......too exhausting with my now 25 years ago learned schoolenglish.
A great shot,which reminds me to a wonderful time I had at fraser island and Australia.
I like the foaming ocean here and the two people in the distance.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,Leo

Hi Antonio,

That is just a great idea, leaving from the beach. You must have some great photographs taken from the sky?!
But I guess there will not at all be that many beaches that are suitable. Just a bit sand blown over the hard runway and you couldn't take off anymore. An if there's a lot of sand in the air, that wouldn't be good for the engine either.

Greetings, Dennis

bonjour ANTONIO.
j'adore cette situation avec l'avion (cessna)!
tu a fait un petit tour avec?
amitiés ensoleillés....aldo.

Hi Antonio,
Impressive place with endless looking sand beach. I guess that 'runway' isn't all the time as there must be bigger waves too, depending on the wind. Strong light is quite appropriate to this tropical place. Head-on PoV to the aircraft works well.

Olá António,

caramba, creio que nunca tenha visto uma cena dessas, pelo menos por aqui. Interessante compos~ição e nota. Não sabia que existia praias autorizadas para pousos e decolagens de aviões pequenos. Não creio que exista por aqui...no final das contas, ficou bem interessante, bem diferente. Ótima fotografia.
Abraço,
Carlos

Olá António,
Julgava que estas aterragens só aconteciam na televisão e filmes. :-) Gosto da foto não só pelo que mostra, mas tb. pelo enquadramento estupendo e pelo brilho na água.
O WS tb. está muito bem apanhado.
Um abraço, José.

Hello Antonio,
This has got to be one of the rarest sight captured and posted on TE. At least, I have never seen one with a plane landing on or taking off from the beach out of hundreds of beach photos. Both of the shots are first classed, but I like the one in the workshop which has the plane in action. The underside of the plane is well lit by the indirect lighting reflected from the white sand. A same shot of the beach without the plane would be absolutely uninteresting.

Thanks for sharing so many great photos from your holiday trip.

Best regards
Alfred

Olá António. Também prefiro a foto do WS mas isso é um problema menor quando se tem duas boas fotos. Imaginei esse serviço na Costa da Caparica, onde nem o jipe de salvamento consegue andar :). Paulo

Novamente escolhendo uma foto. Avionete numa práia não é muito frequente ver. Esta práia parece ser bastante longa. Gosto do brilho na água. Parece ser o início de um pôr do sol. Cumprimentos. Domingos

Hi Antonio, boas notes,
What I like more of your shot, apart from the blue of thye sea and sky, is the perfect timing of it...I hope you didn't suffer any injurie! ;)

Probablemente, desde que vi la película "Out of Africa" de Sydney Lumet he querido hacer algo así: Aterrizar una avioneta en una playa desierta... Suena tan bonito Antonio. Me gusta tu foto porque me hace soñar. Muchas gracias.

Hello Antonio,

Your plane is quite a discovery for me... I had no idea that it was possible to land on a beach! If you would have made the picture lying on the beach, the wings of the aircraft would be in the sky and not just at the horizon...

Have a great day!
