While in Australia, I travelled around a few Whitsunday Islands. The collection of islands are vast and vary but one thing is the same, they are all peaceful and beautiful. I spent some time out on a boat, Whitehaven Island and a couple nights on the island of South Molle. Obviously the sunshine is a big pull for these islands but for me it was the ultimate tranquillity which I adored. I have been to beaches and even beautiful beaches but neither like this.
At the time of my visit, it was Australian Winter time but the temperature was still in mid 20s - I know, lucky aren't they? I spent some time doing something I never do...sitting still. I decided to spend time lounging on the beach while others went fish feeding and walking. I walked onto South Molle beach and I was the only one on it.
I decided to walk to the very end of the beach and set up my towel. While lying I just let myself relax and be at peace. There is nothing like sunshine, alone time with the sound of the ocean lapping at the shore to make me feel calm. What I thought about I don't know, it was like a blank mind which for me is a rather large feat to reach. If I could have a wish, it would be to be able to have this place easily accessible for a down day. Imagine if you could just have some Narnia time wold through your wardrobe to your 'calm place'. I would definitely be back there.
That's why today I want to share a couple pictures of my 'calm place' with you all. It's difficult in this mad world to find a moment of peace but when you do, appreciate it to its full extent.

Where would your calm Narnia be?

Absolutely gorgeous! I am surprised there even is a place on this planet that can get you to sit still ;-) I hope you can find more places like that in the new year ... I'd like to think that there are at least a few peaceful corners in beautiful California waiting to be lounged in by you :) xxx
Beautiful pics! And how awesome to have those moments to just BE and connect with yourself.
@ Reb - Hahah - yes I am sure there are many longing places for peace in LA. Who'd have thought somewhere could keep me still though? I tell you, Aus was pretty amazing!
@CeCe - You are very true. Being peaceful and connecting with yourself is always overlooked by many who think they need to be surrounded with people. Sometimes there's value in being alone.
