It is getting hot here in Japan, so we are spending most of our time inside, where it is nice and cool.

The mornings are not too hot though, so the other day, we drove to the beach in the early morning to take some photographs. The sea is beautiful in summer, especially in the mornings, before the crowds arrive. The school children are on holiday, so the beaches get crowded throughout the day, especially on weekends.

Here are some photographs we took. It is the middle of summer, but there are no people around! Just us and the sea! A perfect way to start the day!
