I've just been shooting anything and everything lately. Drifting aimlessly. No direction known. Just whatever presents itself.

High angle close-up framing of the rush of water up a beach from a breaking wave. The sea waves seem to carry water to wash over the beach.
Being visible, the swash zone is most associated with beach erosion and the impacts of climate change. A swash helps to build up the beach, loosing its energy and depositing its load of sand and silt.
The landward edge of the swash zone is highly variable in terms of geomorphology, and may terminate in dunes, cliffs, marshes, ephemeral estuaries and a wide variety of sand, gravel, rock or coral barriers. This influences the exchange of sediment between the land and ocean, which ultimately forms the coastline.

Fascinated by the patterns of the little sand balls and traces left by tiny bubbler crabs, astonishing artists of the beach. The sandy brown colouration has them well camouflaged on the sand and when they have the least sense of a threat they are quick to disappear in the little holes which are their burrows.
The Sand Bubbler Crabs feed by filtering sand through their mouth parts, eating the micro-organisms and detritus that they find in there. They discard the sand in the form of little balls, probably to prevent sieving through the same sand twice, and kick it aside. They tend to start foraging close to their burrow and spiral out as they cover their territory. Moving around in this spiralling way causes them to create these beautiful patterns on the beach.

It's been a loooooong hot and dry summer. We're finally seeing some relief, but I think it's too late for several trees in our yard... :(
Symmetry... what a relief. Things in order. Structure, patterns... and then spotting "deviations"... it sounds much worse than it is, right? ha, ha, ha...

Much of the North Icelandic landscape we found still in firm grip of winter when we travelled along the North fjords. Some places were highly wind-swept as well which created drift patterns very similar to those of sand dunes in the desert, which I liked a lot.
A new notebook is available now, but I have not yet finished all installation on it. So, please, go on being patient with me.:)
I wish you a very nice and sunny weekend!
