This photograph shows one of the most beautiful beaches in Sfakia, a mountainous region in Crete Island, Greece. Though there are several scenic beaches like this in Sfakiá, they are not visited as much as the beaches in the northern coast that attracts the maximum number of tourists. As a result, these beaches are remarkably clean, the air is fresh, and generally the environment is unpolluted, compared to other beaches and many seashore attractions in Crete.
The majority of visitors to Sfakia are rather adventure tourists who follow the hiking trails that cross through mountains in and around Sfakiá. There are a number of villages on the coasts but they are not crisscrossed by roads. Ferry boat services are popular to reach these destinations.
Tourists can find budget accommodation and other facilities, including small hotels and taverns.

Women at Starfish Beach, Panama
Two bikini clad women at Starfish Beach, Boca del Drago, Panama, stand on relatively calm, still, shallow water. Two other bathers, possibly a couple, can be seen relaxing or sunbathing on the beach sand. The two young coconut palms do not seem to be planted there, but coconuts must have been washed ashore from which the palms must have grown.

Pregnancy: Simply... MOTHER
This beautiful composition is imaginatively titled, "Simply... MOTHER", and an equally thought-provoking poem is added below the photo by the gifted photographer. I reproduce below for your reading pleasure:
Simply... MOTHER
"God took the fragrance of a flower...
The majesty of a tree...
The gentleness of morning dew...
The calm of a quiet sea...
The beauty of the twilight hour...
The soul of a starry night...
The laughter of a rippling brook...
The grace of a bird in flight...
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply - Mother."
Herbert Farnham
