I don't know how it's been for you, but summer has simply flown by for me this year. And even though I'm well past school age, the fact that kids are now back at school marks, for me at least, the start of the journey into autumn.
However, I'm not quite ready to give up on summer, and this great image from Jeroen Stel is just the ticket to keep me in the summer mood.
The gorgeous blue and green hues just draw you in. To the point where I can almost hear the gentle lap of waves and feel the heat of the sun as it beats down on me.
There are plenty of other seascapes to gaze at on RSPB Images.
