  • Gentle Waves at Sunrise | Summer Solstice Morning

    Gentle Waves at Sunrise | Summer Solstice Morning
    Jul 2 2025

    At first light on June 21st, 2025—the summer solstice—the longest day of the year begins.

    On the calm shores of Joss Bay, nestled between Margate and Broadstairs on England’s east coast, soft waves roll in and out, brushing the sand with a gentle, steady rhythm. The tide whispers. The sand answers. And the world feels briefly suspended in light and stillness.

    This peaceful coastal soundscape captures the delicate interplay of water and shore at dawn—ideal for rest, reflection, or marking the quiet turning point of the year.
