Silence, please. The Sun is setting.

The photo captures a tranquil seaside scene at sunset, where the world seems to hush in reverence as the sun prepares to retire for the night. The soft glow of the setting sun bathes the horizon in warm hues of orange and yellow, gently meeting the calm sea. Lush greenery and vibrant flowers in the foreground add a touch of life to the serene setting, while a few people are seen enjoying the peacefulness along the shore, their figures small against the vast, quiet expanse of water. This moment of tranquility suggests the world is pausing to help the sun settle into its well-deserved rest.

This is a place I love and the view I love when working.
Perfect setting for a #FensterFreirag

A laptop placed on a woven table next to a window overlooking a beach scene. The laptop screen displays a dark interface with lines of text. Outside, the view reveals a clear blue sky, palm trees, and a sandy beach with sunbathers in the distance. The window has white frames and a partially pulled-down mesh screen.

Beach vacations only became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the lifestyle of the wealthy in Western countries. Early Europeans, and especially the ancient Greeks, thought the beach was a place of hardship and death. As a seafaring people, they mostly lived on the coastline, yet they feared the sea and thought that an agricultural lifestyle was safer and more respectable.
