Back beside the sea

We have escaped the madness back home once again and are beside the Atlantic ocean in France. 
After a hot and dry summer, we had some heavy rain to welcome us when we returned yesterday. Today, however, has been fantastic with sunshine and a very agreeable 27 deg C. 
This shot was taken on the dune behind the beach where the lifeguard station is. The large wooden seat is where they sit and survey the beach during the summer.
