Early morning on the coast at Cramond... somewhere was getting a great sunrise... it wasn't here!
These are old wartime defences built to prevent U-boats from traversing the forth channel. They only become visible at lowtide, leading out to Cramond Island.
Robin said the structures look like giant hands praying. In all my time visiting here I've never noticed that before, but they completely do!
Best viewed larger.

Sea defence work being carried out in Lancing, this was needed to be done for many weeks now but work has now been done just in time before the second named storm Jocelyn comes through tomorrow. When the digger was working there was a narrow stretch of beach between the digger and a house which would have been in danger of larger waves coming in through their windows, hopefully i`ll get a chance to nip down there again tomorrow.
The digger drive stopped working for me while I took a few shots .
Early morning frost on breakwater.
Shot on iPhone 5s; Hipstamatic post-processing; composition guidance from Bill Brooks LRPS - thank you :-)
Another day (our last on the west coast of Hokkaido), another tetrapod sea defence. I don't do so many dramatic, high-contrast black and white images anymore, but this scene seemed to call for it.
From the archives: Hokkaido, Japan, 2019.
I wrote a blog post if you'd like to know more about the trip to Hokkaido. As well, if you'd like, take a look at all my images from two trips to Japan.
Black and white image taken on the beach at Overstrand on the north Norfolk coast showing the incoming tide swirling around the old sea defences.
A stormy day at Ness Point in Lowestoft...the most easterly point of mainland UK. The long exposure was tricky given that I needed to hang on to the tripod to stop it blowing over.
After waiting for a few years, the old sea defence at Caister has revealed itself from below the sand.
Fence bokeh; I've shot this fence before but couldn't pass it by. My v. old Olympus standard lens is responsible plus the Sony's clever innards.

'BAH09' Lining Up For Departure Via RWY27 to Brindisi (LIBR/BDS) En-Route Home After Completion of Maintenance With KLMUK Engineering...
Dipping into the archives again, I found this image of a sea defence along the coast.
Fukui province, Japan.
A narrow road beside the rocks and fence link the La Have Islands to the mainland. The the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Barnard Castle and the River Tees, Northumberland UK.
A stone castle was built on the site of an earlier defended position from around 1095 to 1125 by Guy de Balliol. Between 1125 and 1185 his nephew Bernard de Balliol and his son Bernard II extended the building.
The castle itself has been a ruin since the end of English Civil war, having been bombarded by the Parliamentarian forces of Cromwell.
These are the sea defences at New Brighton in Merseyside. They are tricky to get into as the are in a deep recess. This shot involved a precarious traverse across some slippy rocks.
Another from my night at Cramond.
Thought the tide would just be dropping at sunset but it wasn't quite ready yet so had to make do with a shot from above but maybe a slightly different take to the normal viewpoint.
Apologies to the couple that I set up next to who were enjoying a moment to themselves.
Two exposures taken with the B&W ten stop and blended together in Photoshop. I have left quite a lot of the cast in here as the B&W can add quite a nice colour when not so much is happenning.
Cramond Island is a tidal island about one mile out in the Firth of Forth, near Edinburgh. It is connected to the mainland at low tide across the Drum Sands via a causeway running at the foot of a row of concrete pylons. These pylons were constructed as an anti-boat boom during the Second World War. At high tide the path is covered by several feet of seawater which cuts the island off from the mainland. This can be seen on the far left.

This top on Madeira is crawling with tourists during the day, so it was kind of special to have it completely to myself during this dark night. Being above the clouds here made the Milkyway clearly visible, arched over the top of the air defence radar station that was built here in 2011. I liked how its large dome looked like a foreign planet :-)
This is actually the first time I photographed the Milkyway... It just never happened before...!
Different sources of light pollution (and different colors... there is amongst others a large white-ish spotlight just behind the dome, lightening up the sky to the right of it) made it fun to play with a clear-night filter. It indeed cleaned up a lot, and made more stars visible, especially at the lower part of the sky.
In cooperation with Haida filters (150 mm NanoPro MC Clear-Night Filter).
