A stitch of 3 images
Dolerite, red sandstone, bladder wrack seaweed, gutweed and an unidentified moss or lichen?
I was at North Jetty in Ocean Shores looking around when I noticed some scoters off in the distance. So I wandered along the rocks, right near the surf trying to get a decent look at the scoters.
They weren't getting any closer, and just about when I was going to turn around and head back to the beach, I realized I was surrounded by birds.
Black turnstones were all over. Surfbirds were hopping rock to rock. And this bird too.
Rock stack exposed at low tide. I've always tried to photograph this stack with a wide angle lens, which seemed the natural choice to me. This one was with a 50mm and I quite liked the different perspective, maybe I'll try it with a tele lens next.....

Rock Dove in Australia; after so many years, I still associate them with the Old Market Square in Krakow. Seeing one on a eucalyptus tree offers a uniquely contrasting experience.

Continuing with day 1 in Cornwall photography adventure.
A wet, dreary and very windy afternoon at the Rock. I struggled for composition and angle at this location, and the fact I had been awake for 30 hours at this point I was starting to flag.
It wasnt till I got home and started looking at other images from this location online that I released there is a much better shot to be hand a few meters to my right and behind me as you look at this.... dam! .
Its my own fault I never research the locations I shoot, just turn up with no idea! - and it shows.... sometimes

Another view further down the beach at Black Rock Sands.
There is a walkway behind the dunes and Rocks to gain access to the beach.
The sand is [ soft ] so you have to be very aware it can be a bit dangerous in
Places. No vehicles are allowed this far on the beach passed the warning signs.
New Brighton Lighthouse was originally known as Perch Rock Lighthouse. Construction of the present structure began in 1827 though a light had been maintained on the rock since 1683. It was designed by John Foster, Jr, on the lines of Eddystone, and built by Tomkinson & Company using marble rock from Anglesey.
New Brighton Lighthouse or Perch Rock Lighthouse, is now a decommissioned lighthouse situated at the mouth of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay on an outcrop off New Brighton known locally as Perch Rock. Together with its neighbour, the Napoleonic era Fort Perch Rock, it is one of the Wirral's best known landmarks.
Although the lighting apparatus and fog bell have been removed, the lighthouse is very well preserved and retains many features lost on other disused lighthouses. It was restored and repainted in 2001 when an LED lightsource was installed which flashed the names of those lost at sea; including all the 1,517 victims of the sinking of the Titanic. At low tide, it is possible to walk to the base of the tower, but a 25-foot ladder is needed to reach the doorway.
The lighthouse is privately owned and maintained by the Kingham family, and is a Grade II* listed building.Another plan to illuminate the lantern using LEDs and solar panels was achieved with a grant from the Coastal Revival and New Brighton Coastal Community Team (NBCCT) and has been operating since 2015.
on mirror, for Macro Mondays. From one side to the other at the widest part, it measures an inch and a quarter. Have not yet decided which one to post to group.
Finally chose this one because there is more detail in the blue-green layer and more translucence in the crystals.
There are some nice views of Cathedral Rock on the trail leading to it that give various foreground options to a photographer. Sedona, Arizona, USA, November 2022
