Another photo from yesterday morning. The incoming tide making some nice lines as it came around the edge of the slipway.

Ein mal mehr die Strandbar 54Grad Nord in Sankt Peter-Ording, Nordfriesland.

Sie bietet sich halt so super an zum Fotografieren.

One more time the beach bar 54Grad Nord in Sankt Peter-Ording.

It is simply a perfect object to be photographed.

“Carew Tidal Mill, also called the French Mill, is a corn mill in Pembrokeshire, Wales, powered by tidal water. It was built around 1801 just west of Carew Castle, and replaced a much older mill in the same location. The mill pond fills through open flood gates as the tide comes in . "

This pond is in the tidal wetlands of coastal North Carolina. In the distance you can see the main dune that separates us from the Atlantic ocean.

The draining water leaves interesting traces in the wet sand.

Thank you very much for your visits, comments and faves. I really appreciated them

Here’s a Vertorama that I captured at the Camps Bay tidal pool on Sunday afternoon… about half an hour before sunset.

Although the sky was completely overcast with rain the whole day on Sunday… I was really hoping that the clouds would clear up a bit by sunset… just enough to allow some sweet light through. As luck would have it… that’s exactly what happened!!

So there I was at the tidal pool… admiring the amazing cloud reflections in the calm water… and looking around for the most interesting compositions. I really liked the way that the rocks on the right of this composition all seemed to be pointing towards the sun… and how the heavy right-hand side of the composition was balanced out by the bright sun in the upper left-hand corner. All I needed was for someone to walk along the rim of the tidal pool… not only would that improve the composition… but it would also add a human element to the photo (which is something that I’ve been consciously trying to do). I looked around me to see if there was anyone whom I could kindly ask to walk around the tidal pool for me… but as I turned around… I noticed this smartly-dressed guy was already walking along the wall… without me even asking! I waited till he was in my frame and directly below the sun… and snap… got him!! :)

The incoming tide restores life to the "Little Creatures" that rely on this daily cycle.

nature's self expression in the simple passing of tides

Another from my break down in Pembrokeshire last week. This shot was captured on the shoreline at Little Haven.

The tide was quite benign, but a few nice swells would come in from time-to-time, being in the right place when they did was a little more challenging though. They almost felt like they were doing their utmost to look better elsewhere. Patience and belief that they would come good where I needed them was paramount.

The Pacific Northwest has high tidal ranges. Cook Inlet in Alaska has some of the highest tidal ranges in the world, reaching as high at 11M. Flying over Cook Inlet give a good aerial view of the tidal flats with the meandering streams, sedge grass meadows, mud flats and areas of red algae flowing down from the distant north temperate rainforest.

Porlock Weir lies about 1.5 miles west of Porlock, and is a small settlement which has grown up around the harbour. Like most ports in West Somerset, the harbour is tidal.

The port has existed for over 1,000 years. The Anglo-Saxon chronicle reports that in 1052 Harold Godwinson came from Ireland with nine ships and plundered the area, and even before that in 86 AD it was visited by Danes. In the 18th and 19th centuries coal from south Wales was the main cargo, and in World War II pit props cut from local forests were exported.

The shingle ridge that protects Porlock from the sea developed about 8000 years ago after the last ice age, as sea levels rose and cliffs to the west eroded. Since then, there has been a continual process of change, with deep core samples taken from the Marsh showing that the ridge has moved inland at different periods, with sporadic breaching and ‘healing' events as part of the natural cycle of evolution of the barrier.

The construction of groynes along Porlock Beach, in the early 19th century, was designed to interrupt and reduce the thinning and instability of the ridge to protect the main road.
