Just seaweed.

A Winters morning on the River Forth.

A small piece of seaweed remains stranded atop a bit of driftwood... as the tide recedes.

Being here early, as the sun rises, means being able to see the sand like natures own canvas. The pebbles washed and the sand devoid of footprints.

The jetty jutting out, the only sign of human existence in the peaceful landscape.

Llandanwg Beach with a heap of seaweed!

Llandanwg, between Barmouth and Harlech, is famous for its church which stands just a stone’s throw from the sea. The beach is sheltered from strong winds, making it a perfect place for relaxation. It’s popular with fishermen – the local catch includes dogfish, bass, flatfish and mackerel. The beach is accessible by a path through the dunes from a car park. This west facing, shallow shelving beach is a part of the Snowdonia National Park. There are dog restriction areas on the beach. Nearby Mochras – better known as Shell Island – is a popular spot accessible by low-tide causeway, with a beach, dunes and an amazing variety of shells. On Shell Island you will find a large sandy beach, variety of wild flowers and breath-taking views. The area caused a sensation with the British Geological Survey in the 1960’s thanks to it’s research.

In Peggys Cove

The receding tide at Luskentyre leaves clumps of seaweed that catch on shells leaving some interesting abstract shapes. This one reminded me of the hairstyle of the Incredibles' super villain Syndrome (but I'm probably on my own here!)

Hope you have a good week ahead. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

" Jambo rafiki habari gani ? ...

ciao amica come stai? ...

queste sono tra le poche parole che conosco in swailii ma sono sufficienti per parlare Fatouma ogni mattina.

Mi racconta della sua vita di raccoglitrice di alghe , dei suoi tre figli e del marito che ogni sera durante la stagione secca parte con la piccola barca di legno oltre la barriera corallina in cerca di pesci da vendere al mercato di Stone Town. E' partito due giorni fa, ma sa che farà ritorno con il vento appena soffierà verso la costa...

Fatouma ... la conobbi 4 anni fa la prima volta che camminai su questa spiaggia, sempre curva sulle sue alghe.

Si fida di me e sa che mai e poi mai la fotograferei in viso o senza il suo permesso ...

... mi mancherà la sua amicizia ... la penserò ogni volta che sarò seduta di fronte al mio mare e il vento soffierà verso la costa ..."

A photograph of seaweed.

While waiting for one of many ferries we had to take while travelling in Norway, my attention was attracted by the seaweeds right at the shore... I can imagine they would seem the most mundane thing in the world to someone who lives very close to the seashore - but I am not one of those lucky people... so to me they looked fascinating, and they still do.

Southwold, Suffolk, UK

The Bay of Fundy is not only famous for high tides, but its shoreline cliffs and beaches are home to the world's most complete fossil record of life 300 million years ago and are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site AND a UNESCO Global Geopark.

Waiting for that special fish. Seems to be a great skill to have just to wait and still be ready to act at great speed when the moment happens. I think this guy could do well if he had a camera :)

I'm going to be off for a few days as we have visitors from UK and USA at the moment but will be about eventually.

Freshwater West Pembrokeshire. These huts were used by local families to dry seaweed used to make Lavabread

Seaweed drying hut at Freshwater West. A small cottage industry in collecting Laver slowly developed throughout Pembrokeshire between the 18th century to around the 1950s, the remnants of which can still be seen at Freshwater West where a laver seaweed drying hut has been restored. At one time up to 20 drying huts could be found along Freshwater West, each one maintained by a local family from Angle.
