This is a shot of the wood grain on an old wooden table that I saw at the antiques market in Kempton Park.
Houston, Texas -- Houston Medical Center. The natural cloud formations suggest an impending tidal wave.
This small tidal creek eating more and more of a meadow in front of a dyke. A tiny "waterfall" comes from large water puddles, flowing into the creek. River Elbe, Germany
Dieser kleine Priel frißt sich immer mehr durch die Wiesenlandschaft vor einem Deich. Der "Wasserfall" kommt von abfließendem Wasser aus großen Wasserpfützen der Wiese. Elbe, Deutschland
Mud and sand area uncovered by the rise and fall of tides on the Sea of Cortez - San Felipe, Baja, Mexico.
The estuary of the River Esk at Ravenglass, near the Lake District, UK. A boat is locked in the mud until the tide returns.
Another one from the White Sands of New Mexico. I saw this lonely Yucca plant at the bottom of this swell and it reminded me of a surfer get ready to catch the next wave.
Another photo I took at the Tunnels Beaches in Ilfracombe. While the sea fog was still having the beach firmly in its grip I explored the coves and took a few long exposures. There wasn't much surf so I had to try a few times before I managed to photograph the water rushing in. I did not get wet feet for this one - although the water came very close :-)
From the depths she called home,
the scaled-she ascended her realm.
She saw blood, bones and skin;
fell in love, forgetting he is without fins.
He loved her not and of air he'll stay.
She whispered in an almost mournful way
"I'll make the way you drown beautiful"
Tidal Wetlands are found along our nation's sea coasts within reach of the oceans' tides. Salt Marshes develop near river mouths, behind barrier islands, in bays, on coastal plains, or in other areas affected by tides and protected from the full force of the surf.
Tidal marshes provide invaluable protected habitat for many juvenile fish species, birds, and other wildlife, help to cleanse polluted water, and protect against storms and floods.
Even simple lighting can take a while to get just how you want it. Happy with this one but did discard a few. Top Night.

The worlds highest tides occur at this very location.
Burntcoat Head Provincial Park, in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.
St Cuthbert Island (also known as Hobthrush island) is located just off Holy Island. As the tide rises, it becomes completely separated from Holy Island (a tidal island off a tidal island, if you like).
The legend is that St Cuthbert used to escape here when he wanted to retreat away from the monks in the abbey. There are remains of a post-Norman Conquest medieval chapel on the island (so, not from Cuthbert’s time), which were partly excavated by Sir William Crossman in 1888.
The Tidal Basin is a man-made reservoir located between the Potomac River and the Washington Channel in Washington, D.C. It is part of West Potomac Park, is near the National Mall and is a focal point of the National Cherry Blossom Festival held each spring. The nearby Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial overlook the Basin, which is south of the Washington Monument.
