Shell Beach / Central Coast / California
The sense of change is in the air, I'm talking about the weather here. Now in late fall, the temperature drops and we get more dramatic skies every week. The trick is getting out there and predicting what will happen and to know where and when to be. After a great evening of shooting, I stayed after the sun had gone down to get some long exposures of the water coming in through these rocks, which always offers some interesting results.

So called because the entire beach is made up of tiny shells. In some places it can be 10 metres deep.
This was the first one we found. You could climb down to a ledge but to go further would take some rope and some technical skills.
RIch and I went on a hike today to celebrate the Halmark holiday. We walked up a ridge in Shell Beach that had an amazing view. Needless to say we're all really out of shape, so Rich, Boss and I were gasping for air at the top...but it was SO worth it!
Two more in comments from our hike...
Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.
Situated on the northeastern side of the Taillefer Isthmus, it covers a 110 km long stretch of coast along the L'Haridon Bight. It is one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from shells.
The beach was named "Shell Beach" because of the great abundance of the shells of the cockle species Fragum erugatum. The seawater in the L'Haridon Bight has a high salinity due to both the geomorphology and local climate of the area. This high salinity has allowed the cockle to proliferate unchecked, since its natural predators have not adapted well to this environment.
The shells typically reach a depth of 7 to 10 metres. Over time, the shells have formed a limestone that is known as Coquina.
Before Shark Bay became a World Heritage Site, the limestone was mined and used for the construction of a number of buildings in the local town of Denham, Western Australia.

The stormy low tide conditions were right to photograph this rock formation rarely seen in Shell Beach. But even at low tide the "backbone row" of rocks barely peeks over the tide- just enough to give shape and wonder. The quick and powerful waves which can strike fast, make getting unique shots of the formation a challenge for any photographer.
