Can someone decipher this?

[Adam]

I don't suppose there is anyone out there that can decipher this. It's on the back of a photograph I have.

Thanks in advance

If your question is not rhetorical, I can read:

Blick vom G????????
auf den Strand von Berck

translates:
View from (illegible)
on the beach of Berck

[Adam]

Thanks for that. Next question - where is Berk?

regards

It's a French spa on the Channel. At that time a base for the French Aéronavale.

Instead of "Strand von Berck", I'd say it could be "Kanal von Berck". But it's hard for anyone not versed in old German handwriting to guess it properly.

No, sorry, NOT "Kanal".
Strand is correct, definitely.
This german font is called Sütterlin.
