de la panne à ostende


yesterday, i went to the sea. it's less than a couple of hours away but i had not been there for three years. much too long. i don't recall having spent so much time without seeing it.

it was a beautiful tiring day. with long nearly desert beaches. a wind so strong that it makes your ears ache. many detours because of roadworks nearly everywhere on the belgian coast. farm animals in the green green grass. fog wrapped around ostende's buildings.

and the pleasure to know, the day before, that i was going to make this little one day trip. to have something to look forward to.

  1. i wish i could go to the sea. that is one bad thing about being inland. :( i will have to imagine myself walking on this lonely beach. :)

  2. that's one great thing about france. unless you are in the north/center-east, you're rarely more than 3 or 4 hours from the sea. we have so much coast... even a foreign one is not always far.

    i tried to find you a postcard but the stores were still closed... except one where the cards available were old, damage and not really of the place where i was. :/
