Lonely boat stranded on the sands of Weston-Super-Mare at low tide whilst I was killing time waiting for the sunset....
black volcanic beach at Cape Dyrholaey near Vik with its amazing monoliths from columnar basalt and this beautiful bay.
Before the biblical storm that put on such an incredible display over Merseyside last night there was a half decent sunset at New Brighton.
We had rainbows, a lovely warm sunset with banks of thick storm clouds and the most impressive show of fork lightning we have seen for a number of years.

I went to do a photo shoot the other day, and my husband, wandered down the road looking for deer. Instead he found this stunning view ~of course I had to get a picture
Lately I did not shoot as I would enjoy, plus laptop was sent away for a little while, he might have to go again... Quiet frustrating strech lately, plus this winter that cant start because of Elninio...
I also lost some work because of laptop failure, my last LR database back up was from june so all tweaking to my pictures is lost...still have all the raw files.
So this was taken at La Baie few second before the sun came above the hills, I really liked the reflection, no need for improvement on such scene.
Das Cap Blanc-Nez (Blanc-Nez „weiße Nase“) ist eine Landspitze an Frankreichs Ärmelkanalküste, die in diesem Bereich Côte d’Opale genannt wird, Es befindet sich südlich von Calais. Zusammen mit dem Cap Gris-Nez bildet es die „Gegend der zwei Kaps“ (Site de deux Caps), die im Süden von Boulogne-sur-Mer abgeschlossen wird.
Das Cap Blanc-Nez besteht aus Kreidegestein und Mergel und hat steil abfallende Seiten zum Meer. Es zählt zu den "Grand sites de France' seit 2011.Die Höhe der Felsen beträgt 134 m.
Entlang der gesamten Küste weisen zahlreiche Gedenksteine und Monumente auf die Schrecken des Ersten und Zweiten Weltkriegs hin.
Die Spuren an diesem strategisch wichtigen Ort sind auch anhand einer Bunkeranlage auf dem Gipfel des Cap Blanc-Nez und zahlreichen, noch immer gut sichtbaren Bombenkratern erkennbar...Mahnmale unserer Geschichte...

De Dunquerque à Berck s'étend le paysage sauvage de la Cote d'Opale dessiné par des falaises escarpées, des valées crantées et un chapelet de dunes.
La Corniche de la Cote d'Opale, aussi nommée Terre des Deux Caps, car elle reunit le Cap Blanc-Nez et le Cap Gris-Nez, en est la partie la plus spectaculaire. Grand site de France depuis 2011, la Terre des Deux Caps marque la transition entre dunes et falaises.
Cap Blanc-Nez:
Reconnaisable de loin, surmonté d l'obélisque de la Dover Patrol,
qui fut erigé enmémoire des marins fancais et anglais morts pendant la Première Guerre mondiale en défendant le détroit du Pas-de-Calais.
Du haut du Cap, le spectacle est vertiginieux : la masse verticale de la falaise, Ã 134 m de haut, surplombe le 'pas' et son trafic incessant de navires.

Cap Blanc-Nez (literally "Cape White Nose" in English) is a cape on the Côte d'Opale, in the Pas-de-Calais département, in northern France. The cliffs of chalk are very similar to the white cliffs of Dover at the other side of the Channel in England. Cap Blanc-Nez does not protrude into the sea like a typical cape, but is a high point where a chalk ridge has been truncated by the sea, forming a cliff that is topped by the obelisk of the Dover Patrol Monument, commemorating the Dover Patrol which kept the Channel free from U-boats during World War I.
Cap Blanc-Nez was a vital measuring point for the eighteenth-century trigonometric survey linking the Paris Observatory with the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Sightings were made across the English Channel to Dover Castle and Fairlight Windmill on the South Downs. This Anglo-French Survey was led in England by General William Roy.

I'm starting to appreciate low tide photography a bit more as you can get some really nice sand reflections and textures. I messed up twice; firstly arriving a bit too late for this lovely light, this was actually a quick arrival shot to make sure I had something in the bag.
By the time I positioned myself in front of some interesting rocks and attached my filters the light had all disappeared with next to no colour. It was so uninspiring that I called it quits but then when I got home of course the sky was full of pink streaks 🙈ðŸ˜
Going through some old raw files for a small project I'm working on, I came across this shot of what remains of the West Pier during a low tide at sunset. Sometimes I feel having an amazing location like this on my doorstep is too easy and I end up photographing further afield but I feel a return at low tide is due soon.
Really enjoying Florida's shore birds...wondering how the wildlife has survived Hurricane Irma...
Dowitchers, I believe....correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you for your visit, enjoy rest of the week!...Pat...xo

i will be gone on our annual northern MN trip and return in early Oct....will check in on your 'streams as I'm able and see what you're up to:)

In 2014, scientists recognized The Bay of Fundy with the highest tides on earth, the rarest whales in the world, semi-precious minerals and dinosaur fossils as one of the seven wonders of North America.
Nature simply doesn’t get bigger than this. When a hundred billion tons of water pours into the Bay of Fundy from the Atlantic Ocean, the water level in the Bay rises a staggering four stories. The majestic experiences made possible by this twice-daily phenomenon cannot be missed.
