Glistening waves: Yuigahama-beach

Waves: Yuigahama-beach (Kamakura)

The calm waves are endlessly breaking and receding on the sands.

The golden setting sun is making the countless ripples and bubbles shine brightly in the descending dusk.

I am standing still at the water's edge staring at the waves which are lapping the beach eternally.

The dry landscape gardens (Kare-sansui) of Zen temples often symbolize the sea and islands with the use of rocks and gravels to subtly imply a state of spiritual awakening.

The sea, the sky and the horizon may be a secret gateway to the distant and infinite universe to where we must ultimately return.

The evening sun sparkling with gold is slowly sinking in the west, where the Pure Land of Buddha is believed to exist.

Waves: Yuigahama-beach (Kamakura)

As the declining sun sinks down moment by moment, the sea and sky continuously change their colors and shapes in subtle ways.

In the transient evening twilight, the rolling waves keep lapping the sand to vanish away in a moment.

Winter waves at Shichiriga-hama beach

Under the silver gray sky of winter, the glistening sea was heaving harshly like a magnificent creature having its own solid mind.

The evening sun, which was quietly sinking behind the edge of hills, turned the lapping waves dark gold for a while.

The golden waves were softly beating upon the tranquil seashore without end.

The everlasting melodious sound of the sea made me hallucinate that the passage of time had stood still eternally in that setting sun.
