Sat 7th June 2025

A serene beach at sunset with calm waves, silhouetted lighthouses on the shore and in the water, distant cranes on the horizon, and a colorful sky with clouds reflecting on the sea. A sandy beach with scattered pebbles leads to calm sea water. Wooden groynes stretch into the water, and a distant structure is visible on the horizon under a partly cloudy blue sky. A row of colorful beach huts and a white lighthouse are reflected in a large puddle of water, with clear skies and warm sunlight highlighting the scene. A large grassy field under a blue sky with scattered clouds. Trees cast shadows in the foreground, and distant buildings are visible along the horizon. View through a circular concrete pipe on a beach, focusing on a distant lighthouse by the sea, with sunlight reflecting on calm water and pebbles visible inside the pipe. Colorful beach huts lined up on a grassy embankment, reflected in calm, clear water under a blue sky. A male triathlete in black gear and helmet walks his bike through a grassy transition area during a race, with orange safety fencing, onlookers, and trees in the background. Two women holding hands and celebrating as they cross a finish line with a banner that reads “I Did It!”. Spectators watch nearby on a sunny day in an open grassy field. A cyclist in a racing suit and helmet rides a road bike on a sunny day, passing an empty intersection with brick buildings and greenery in the background. A person wearing a wetsuit and goggles swims freestyle in open water, with splashes around them. The water appears choppy, and another figure is visible in the distance near the horizon.
