A beach is like reaching journey's end or like starting a great trip. It may be the end of the world or its center, as  the French fantasy voyager Jules Verne reveals. A beach is shaded, vast, small, wild, deserted, picturesque, exotic, rocky, sandy, poisonous, dreamy, east, west, north or south, touristic or for the few, famous such as the Copacabana, the Goa, the Venice Beach, or unknown, like a beach in Ghana, Cuba, or Mexico. A beach is accessing, entrance, escape. In the winter is the summer that is coming, amid the summer is sun, under the shade is breeze, into the water is play, under the water is silence. In the beach all become simple and easy, everything is permitted, the beach is no place, not defined, it is a situation be experienced, it is freedom. In these and so many other beaches of the world takes us to, the photographer of the exotic Christos Potsios.
