shell fragments
The Monarch Islands are off the west coast of North Uist. Uninhabited by people but home to so many seals. There were dark patches on the beach which on closer inspection proved to be areas of shells that had only partly been broken down by the waves to make the glorious white sand that makes up the stunning beaches the Hebrides are known for. Why were they in these clearly defined patches? I don't know, but the shapes and colours of these fragments fascinate me.
