The coastline along Cape Town is notoriously known as "The Cape of Storms"This picture confirms how the battered rocks ave given way to a lovely little tidal pool for the benefit of people wanting to have a dip and cool off. The tidal pool offers security as the rocks offer natural protection.
The cool blue waters entice and lure you to their splendid feel!
On a hot summers day one can easily enjoy the cool waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Different people of different shapes, different sizes and different shades laze in the water, paddle, dip their feet, jog or walk along the beach and enjoy cape Town's natural wonders.

DOT Art partnered with DOT Pedestrian Projects Group (PPG) to present an asphalt ground mural titled, “Tidal Bay” by artist duo Combo Colab, within the slip lane closure at the intersection of Beach Channel Drive and Far Rockaway Boulevard, outside of the Beach Channel Senior Apartments in Queens. Inspired by its surroundings, the mural is a visual combination of layers that represent the land, the ocean and the air. “Tidal Bay” illustrates the flow and patterns of the bay contours, waves, and flocks of birds that might surround us during a walk along the bay.
NYC DOT Pedestrian Projects Group permanently closed this slip lane to cars as part of an initiative to enhance pedestrian safety. DOT Art aims to highlight the physical transformation of this infrastructure by inviting artists to envision these pedestrianized surfaces as canvases for art.

The Port of Tacoma is restoring 26 acres of tidally-influenced habitat at the mouth of Hylebos Creek in the industrial tideflats. The premier piece of salmon-friendly habitat provides broader environmental benefit because it is near several restored areas along the creek. The $13.6 million project included reclaiming a gravel mine, removing more than 250,000 tons of contaminated material and planting 35,000 native trees and shrubs.

Rhoonse Grienden (Tidal Forest)
Rhoon is a village that borders the municipality of the city of Rotterdam, South Holland, the Netherlands.
According to its history it was established in 1199 and was ruled by the lords of Duiveland. In the 14th century the village was struck by many floods. In the last big flood, the North Sea flood of 1953, the Dutch government implemented the "deltawerken" (Delta Works). This is a large protection barrier of dikes and dams to keep the water of the North Sea out during high tides. In 1969 Rhoon also became part of this plan and a large dike was established around the island of IJsselmonde.
Rhoon is part of the island of IJsselmonde and situated in the south of this island. On the lands outside the dikes, it has a small yacht marina on the banks of the river Oude Maas. Also a "griend" which is a tidal forest. The river Oude Maas has a tidal difference of around 1.2 meter in a twice daily cycle.
Since 1 January 1985, the village has been part of the municipality of Albrandswaard together with Poortugaal.[1]
The village has a connection to the city of Rotterdam by Rotterdam Metro line D, through Rhoon station.
In Rhoon is the Dutch Consulate General of Ireland.

The Oude Maas ("Old Meuse") is a distributary of the Rhine River, and a former distributary of the Maas River, in the Dutch province of South Holland. It begins at the city of Dordrecht where the Beneden Merwede river splits into the Noord River and the Oude Maas. It ends when it joins the Nieuwe Maas to form Het Scheur
[edit] Geography
The Oude Maas forms the southern boundary of the IJsselmonde island. Soon after Dordrecht the Dordtsche Kil forks off and after that the Oude Maas forms the northern boundary of the Hoeksche Waard island, flowing west until the Spui river forks off at the town of Oud-Beijerland. The Oude Maas then heads northwest between the towns/cities of Spijkenisse and Hoogvliet and joins river Nieuwe Maas opposite the city of Vlaardingen, the combined river is known as Het Scheur and flows to the North Sea.
The river is tidal and has nature and recreation areas.

As Vatnajökull calves into a series of lakes and lagoons, icebergs melt away. Eventually, they lose enough of their draft that they are able to ride the relatively shallow rushing tidal river out to the Atlantic, often getting grounded as the lagoon channel decreases in strength.
This one has lost most of its depth, standing far higher than deeper - a rarity for icebergs. Even so, I still got soggy boots taking this exposure.
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Tidal Basin was the fourth memorial dedicated to a U.S. president located on the National Mall. Ironically Roosevelt, the only American President elected more than two terms, was actually opposed to the idea of being honored via a public monument. Despite his reservations, Roosevelt was quoted once as commenting to his good friend Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurther, “If they are to put up any memorial to me, I should like it to be placed in the center of that green plot in front of the Archives Building.” Although the site had to be moved to make room for this massive 7.5 acre monument, Congress did approve erection of a fitting tribute in 1955.
The memorial consists of four “rooms,” each of which represents one of Roosevelt’s presidential terms. In the third room, “The War Years” (1940-1944) we notice a significant change in tone from the prior rooms. The quiet and passiveness of the former rooms is suddenly displaced by loud waterfalls that empty into pools of rough granite. The volume of the waterfall is driven by nearly 100,000 gallons of water that is recycled each minute. Each element is said to reflect the turmoil of the period in which America became involved in World War II. One element of peacefulness is shared via a nine-foot sculpture of the former president seated in a wheelchair with his beloved dog Fala. Fala was a Scottish Terrier who lived with the first family for nearly twelve years. Fala’s reputation extended to U.S. troops during the Second World War. To ensure they were not infiltrated as spies, soldiers often asked each other to name the President’s dog as validation of their ranks. The sculpture of FDR along with Fala was completed by New York sculptor Neil Estern who also did the John F. Kennedy bust located in Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, New York. Some controversy has been made over Estern’s sculpture of FDR in his wheelchair over the fact that it was felt by some that it appeared FDR’s handicap was attempted to be hidden. (FDR is wearing a blanket wrapped around his body while seated in the wheelchair.)
