Where the cacti meet the ocean…
23.11.2011
The ocean and the desert. I’ve always loved how two completely polar opposite landscapes can give you the same feeling of exotic freedom.
In a photograph a palm tree and a cactus can give the same feeling even though one is lush and tropical and one is an arid desert dweller… When the desert meets the ocean – (Baja, California springs to mind…) it’s like sensory overload for me. Add in some lime, a corona, the warm desert breath and a cool ocean breeze…

I love this post & I love the idea behind the Happy Days Diary :) my email is augustlovers@gmail.com xox
Yep. Ocean + desert = my drug. Ever since I was little I would crawl into a ball and think of the desert and the ocean every time I was sad or down. Made me feel free.
To make sure I combat my winter blues, I am surrounded by cacti and beach scene paintings. So yes, COMPLETELY agree with you.
More stunning pics to get lost in today :)

I'd like a little holiday gift. :)
I completely understand what you mean about the desert and the ocean.. although despite their differences on the surface, they're both wild, vast, un-tameable open spaces that allow our mind true freedom. That's what I love about them ♥

Amazing and wonderful post! I know what you mean about the desert and the ocean. Two complete opposites, but part of me wants to live in the desert, the other part of me wants a place right on the beach! xx

Have you seen pics of the Skeleton Coast in Namib? It's long, long desert dunes suddenly diving into ocean, like a bech that just goes on forever to the inland. I included a couple of pictures in my recent post: http://huntandcollect.blogspot.com/2011/11/if-you-set-me-free-i-will-not-run.html
I think you would like it.:) Namib is my most desired location right now, it also has the Sossusvlei.
Aaaahhhh… such sun drenched gorgeousness…
wauw I´ve got a cowboy jacket like the one on one of the pictures here for sale, wanna see it? come and see my blog merce
