A scan of a square format, colour photograph taken in the early 1970s. We're on a pebble beach with part of a red blanket visible in the foreground low down, and we're looking across a short stretch of pebbles towards the relatively calm sea as it laps against the gently sloping mass of small, smooth stones. The angle of the shot is slightly off so the horizon is slightly tilted down to the left and in the distance we can see the end of a pier sticking out. There are heads of people swimming in the water and a couple of children are coming out of the sea in the background, one wearing a scuba mask. The main focus is on two children aged no more than 2 or 3 sat on the pebbles a couple of metres in front. A boy is turned, facing a little towards our view and is peering intently at a pebble or shell in his hands. A girl squats next to him with her back to us. The colours are faded but it feels like a warm day and there's clearly very little wind given the sea conditions.
