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.

Shell Beach / Central Coast / Calif
Just when you think the sunset is done and all color is gone with hope of return, mother nature surprises you- surprises me and sends some great colors of pinks and purples into the sky! I only wish I was in a better location.

The late afternoon sunlight angled just right to give me some great shadows in the rugged textures of the rocks. The clouds, still going strong were all but gone by sundown.
Thanks for looking! Happy shooting!
