Due to the fact that the wind comes almost from West, the waves become the same direction, from W to E, and wash the sand away.
To stop/make less this washout effect, to break the stronght of the waves - that's the reason of this pillars. In the northern part of Zeeland there are beaches , many km long, and there are this pillars, always two lines together, repeating so about 500m. Depending from tide/low tide you can see 2 m or nothing from them.

Month of March, officially when spring begins, days getting longer and flowers start to bloom. Ah.. where have you been hiding Mr. Sun?
But who can resist frost in the morning, I just can't sleep with the idea in my head. Feet are dying to go, fingers very eager to press the shutter, just need to wait for the right time and condition.
I normally leave most of my stuff in the boot for when I just want to quickly drive around for some quick shoots, but alas! I did not double check if all my things are there, and I left one of the most important thing especially when going to the coast, my wellies!
My poor walking boots and feet were soaked in the freezing water and made it numb for awhile, wish there's a traveling Oaken nearby or just maybe next time check my things first before going :)
A game I bought recently 'Code Breaker'; you have to work out the correct colour and order of the four hidden pegs in just ten guesses.
Not the shot I wanted this weekend and I'm not 100% sure on this one! Lovely clean waves breaking over the reefs between Challaborough and Bigbury but the only place to photograph them safely was from the cliff tops. I was hoping to shoot from one of the beaches but the waves were only 4-6ft whereas this one was prob 10-14ft.
On another of my California coast drives, I stopped at my favorite place on the coast for a smoke break and to capture a few photons. Caught this cool shot of a wave at Pescadero State Beach, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.
Time’s Person of the Year was the silence breakers. This is easily the best news of 2017 and cheers to every single woman who stood up in unison to shout ‘Me Too’. It was brilliant and absolutely the right choice. Of all the troubling and disturbing acts and issues that are confronting the world today, it is nice to have one victory.
Assault and discrimination against women have been a systemic cultural problem since forever. It has always been an issue. It has remained an issue for so long because there were never any consequences. Shame the victim or stack the process against them or simply let the assaulters go free. Again and again and again and the problem continues. Now, however, there are consequences. It’s embarrassing that is what it takes, but if a man fears going to jail or losing his job – he will not commit the act. It is really that simple.
It is a lesson that I hope we understand and start to apply to other issues as well. There are so many issues to address. These consequences need to continue though. This period needs to keep going until the time arrives that when someone assaults another person – everybody immediately understands that the person is going to face consequences. Then we can have a dialogue on how to behave. Cheers to the silence breakers – well done!
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
Sorry to keep hammering you with beach shots but it's my only source of inspiration these days. Aside from Camellias and Daffodils, there's not a pixel of color on the farm. This is a shot taken just before sunset over the sound (Albemarle Sound) with the light picking up on the surf in the Atlantic. The view here is to the North toward Duck on the Outer Banks. Its really better in the light box. Have a great weekend everybody and thanks for the look.

The Breakers is a Gilded Age mansion located at 44 Ochre Point Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, US. It was built between 1893 and 1895 as a summer residence for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a member of the wealthy Vanderbilt family.
The 70-room mansion, with a gross area of 138,300 square feet and 62,482 square feet of living area on five floors, was designed by Richard Morris Hunt in the Renaissance Revival style; the interior decor was by Jules Allard and Sons and Ogden Codman Jr.
The Ochre Point Avenue entrance is marked by baroque forged wrought iron gates, and the 30-foot-high walkway gates are part of a 12-foot-high limestone-and-iron fence that borders the property on all but the ocean side. The footprint of the house covers approximately one acre or 43,000 square feet of the 14-acre estate on the cliffs overlooking Easton Bay of the Atlantic Ocean.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994.
