It had rained so the sand had a dimpled look and on some shots it actually looks almost lacey. I thought it would be so easy and in truth is was physically easy but composition lets many down imho but never mind I thoroughly enjoyed myself. My dogs did their utmost best to ruin my shots but the ones i shall upload are happily paw print free..:)
I found this rock heart near Lion Rock a few years ago. Someone put some work into this work of love. With a red accent I thought it would make a nice Valentine's Day image.
A couple more shots (without the red tones) of this romantic find in comments.
Wishing you and yours and wonderful Valentine's Day.
Went to Lyme Regis in West Dorset to try and see the Purple Sandpipers that normally hang around the Cobb Harbour area this time of the year but no sightings for me today.
Kannesteinen Rock in Måløy Norway
The sea has been beating against this rock for thousands of years, shaping it into the "mushroom-like" appearance it has today.
Kannesteinen rock is in Oppedal, 10 kilometres from the centre of Måløy.

The post is always there but the 9 rocks balanced on the top are not. I wish I could claim credit for this masterpiece of rock balancing but I can’t. I watched from our window whilst a man on the beach took around an hour to build this. When I went out to ask i him if I could take a photo, it turned out he was from Liverpool and he’d been perfecting his craft and teaching others for over four years. We were hoping that the sun would appear central to the hole before it set, but sadly the elevation on this evening was all wrong. It still looked quite spectacular all the same. It seemed as shame to see it being dismantled but seemingly he always puts things back has he finds them on the beach before he leaves, mainly for safety reasons should the rocks fall on anyone.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Interesting things about this Scottish Castle.....
The legendary wizard, Merlin, whose fame lies in the legends of King Arthur, is said to have visited Dumbarton Castle during the 6th century. But it wasn't exactly King Arthurs' Merlin that was here, but his real-life counterpart - Myrddin Wyllt who lived between 540 and 584AD.
This Scottish castle was an important royal refuge and is said to have been the hiding place for the young Mary Queen of Scots, before she fled to France at the age of 5.
William Wallace may have been held prisoner here
The Dumbarton Rock itself is legally protected by the Scottish Government and is a recognized Ancient Monument
This may be the longest-standing military stronghold in the UK, as the first fortress may have been there at the time the Romans left Britain (approx. 367 AD), and as recently as World War II it was still home to a military base.

This is the beautiful Stavanger Cathedral that I passed on a walk around the town. The stonework was amazing! “Stavanger Cathedral is Norway’s oldest cathedral and is considered the country’s best-preserved medieval cathedral.
It was built around 1125 and dedicated to Saint Swithun.
The cathedral has been in continuous use since the 1300s and remains the seat of the Diocese of Stavanger.
It is the only Norwegian cathedral from the Middle Ages that has largely retained its original appearance.”
