I do like this photo, it captures the day for me. After a disappointing sunrise I walked a mile along the beach into the estuary until I could go no further. At the water’s edge it was like quicksand and my wellies soon started to disappear. The tidal landscape around me was amazing, I quickly back tracked to safer ground and set up the tripod. The sand has been shaped by the outgoing tide to remain until the sea returns. It was an hour from low ebb and I intended to hang around the bay until the sea cleaned this canvas like the return sweep of a child’s sketching toy.
So much fun to watch this school of fish while I was in a large, deep tidal pool. The turquoise spots on the top glowed in the sun. They were 1 1/2-2" long. If anyone knows what kind of fish they are, please let me know. They were taken in Maine.
I was able to get many shots at the tidal gate at Bolsa Chica. And I intend to return. So you will see many Terns in my photostream!

One from my archives. Had processed it but missed posting .
The light shone on this in a subtle manner and the exposed sea bed/ coral bed at low tide absorbed/reflected less light than that surface layer of water at that angle....so here we go...
This is a photo of sunlight refracting through wind blown ripples in a tidal pool with a submerged yellow rock at Mavillette Beach. There is a pareidolia profile in the yellow in the image.
Seongsan Ichulbong is known as Jeju's sunrise peak. The first time I visited, I opted not to climb it, and instead get pictures from the trail. This time, I once again opted not to climb it, because my knees are bad.
Luckily for me, the tidal pools down on the coast are spectacular. They provided such a gorgeous foreground to this moody sunrise. It's my favorite landscape shot of the entire year.
I got down onto the beach at Winterton on Sea to realise I didn't have a tripod with me. Faced with a good sunrise reflected in tidal pools I made a virtue out of necessity and tried ICM...quite taken with the result, like an impressionist painting!
Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
Sanctuary slough
Sanctuary Slough is next to Purfleet Point and is located in British Columbia, Canada. Sanctuary Slough has a length of 0.45 kilometres.
The area forms a peaceful respite from the urban setting and also a sanctuary for fish and wildlife.
Typha is a genus of about 30 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae. These plants have a variety of common names, in British English as bulrush or (mainly historically) reedmace, in American English as cattail, or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as reed, cattail, bulrush or raupo. Other taxa of plants may be known as bulrush, including some sedges in Scirpus and related genera.
The photo shows Waikokopu Creek, a part of Whangateau Harbour, at low tide. Whangateau Harbour is a natural harbour located on the northeastern coast of the Auckland Region in New Zealand. The tidal estuary is lined with mangroves which have expanded significantly since European settlement. The double peak in the distance is Mount Tamahunga, the highest point in the area. The lights on the right edge are Omaha, a small beach resort town located on a large sandspit. We spent an evening exploring drone photography. The picture is a panorama from 4 vertical photos shot from a height of 30 meters (100 feet).
I noticed the receding tide had left an expanse of wet sand so headed back down to the beach to catch this shot of the colourful sky before the sun appeared above the headland.

I don't often photograph the coast these days even though I live less that 10 miles away therefore this was a nice change.
This is the only image I kept from my weekend away with Monaghan Photographic Society. I was only present for one day and the light wasn't great. Combine that with my surprising ability to talk so much and well I didn't give actually taking photos much effort at all.
I actually like this image, but then again I do like minimal seascapes anyway. Unusually for me though this is a relatively 'short' long exposure. I think there might be more of these to come.
As the sun began to set, I looked upstream from the waves for a few minutes. No surprise that occupants are being warned of flooding. My favourite part is the Surfer [middle right] who was weighing up how to ride these unusual waves, out of view of the Coastguard, who were there in force! It's always a lovely surprise to feature in Explore - thank you all for your visits, kind comments and favourites, all are very much appreciated!
