It’s no secret I love the beach – although I actually prefer the rainy off-season when there are no tourists around and there’s less chance of sunburn! But this week I wanted to look at all places where water and land intersect, so that includes beaches like Kailua Bay in Hawaii …
…dramatic coastlines like the stunning Oregon Coast…
… legendary rivers like the Missouri …
… and the Mississippi …
… and great lakes set against hulking volcanoes like Reflection Lake by Mount Rainier …
… and Lake Atitlán surrounded by the triumvirate of Tolimán , Atitlán and San Pedro volcanoes.
Do you have a favourite spot where land meets water? If you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Land meets Water
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS!

I am an intelligent river which has reflected successfully all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores. – Victor Hugo
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core. – W.B. Yeates (The Lake Isle of Innisfree)
Where's my backpack? 
Great theme – I love waterside locales! My photos feature rockier coastlines in France and Italy: http://destinationfiction.blogspot.ca/2015/07/travel-theme-land-meets-water.html

Australia’s coastline is huge so there are too many great spots to start to think about…but my post this week seems to hit the mark you’re looking for! After a bit of a blogging break, I was happy that my post coincided with your theme!http://aglasshalf-full.com/2015/07/15/camel-rides-on-cable-beach/

Just discovered your wonderful blog. So looking forward to following from here in Western Australia. Here is a set of variations of a photo I took of Mt Fuji from one of the lakes at its base, using different processing techniques. Best wishes!
