Driftwood at Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada, North America.
Lake Minnewanka ("Water of the Spirits" in Nakoda) is a glacial lake located in the eastern area of Banff National Park in Canada, about five kilometers (3.1 miles) northeast of the town of Banff.
Banff National park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The branches found on a beach are normally washed downstream from a nearby river and then eventually get carried to shore by the tide.
The abandoned sailboat Corazon, previously anchored off Albert Head, broke loose and washed ashore during the storm of November 13.

So you’ve heard of Barnacle Bill the Sailor? Meet Barnacle Barry the Barrel.
I stumbled across this old photo just nudiustertian. (New favourite word—sorry) I spotted Barry sunbaking on the sands of Moonee Beach. Crusty old thing, definitely more flotsam than jetsam. At first glance, he might look like just another washed-up relic .... but, the adventures he has had. He remembers them all like nudiusterian.
You’re probably thinking, “Here we go again,” and ready to move on to the next Flickr post. But Barry's story needs to be told ;)
Barry went to sea as a young, green, wet-around-the-ears barrel. He excelled at both green and wet. He started his career on a rust-bucket freighter named The Salty Barnacle, entrusted with carrying… well, no one’s really sure. Rum, maybe. Sea cucumbers, possibly. There’s speculation it was glow-in-the-dark garden gnomes or even a confetti machine. The truth is forever lost to nudiustertian.
The Salty Barnacle sprang a leak in the Coral Sea (as good a sea as any to spring a leak) during a midnight storm. With a name like the Salty Barnacle it was destined to sink in my opinion. That marked the start of Barry’s solo career.
Since then, he’s drifted through countless nautical escapades:
– Rode out hurricanes
– Narrowly avoided becoming an octopus’s garden
– Was briefly worshipped by a pod of dolphins who mistook him for an ancient sea god, Barry the Buoyant (they offered him fish; he declined politely)
– Fell hopelessly in love with a buoy named Sue off the coast of Nouméa. It was a whirlwind affair until she drifted back into her shipping lane. Poor Barry, it still feels like nudiustertian to him.
He collected barnacles and rusty patches like passport stamps, and after years of aimless floating, and some light corrosion, Barry washed ashore at Moonee Beach —retired, encrusted, and perfectly content.
Look closely and you’ll see he proudly dangles a few strands of red and blue rope. Either the remains of a heroic rescue or a very confused knitting project. Possibly a cardigan made by Sue.
This is a work of fiction. Any similarities to actual barrels, rusty or clean, are purely coincidental.
Happy Friday, and thanks kindly for any likes or comments—they’re always appreciated!

Scattered throughout the zoo are these enormous pieces of art, all put together from plastic waste washed ashore from the ocean.

It’s quite common to find old shrimping vessels washed ashore and left abandoned in parts of South Louisiana.
This Lafitte Skiff could possibly still be in use…..but doubtful.
After years of shrimping/fishing for a living ….. it must be tough for the boat owners to have to retire their trustworthy and tested boats and finally put them to rest.
Good thing is the more they deteriorate…..the more they sink….. the more photogenic they become…
I’ll surely be checking on this gal for many seasons to come…..
Thanks for stopping in.

Mesoglea is the last part of a jellyfish to decompose, it is basically the jelly tissue. Jacob and I saw a lot of these globs on the beach last night.
Kenfig Sands.This buoy with a large colony of Goose Barnacles(lepas antifera) attached,this has probably come from warmer seas,caught up in the North Atlantic Drift and found its was to the funnel of the Bristol Channel with the second highest tides on the planet.Since the construction of the deep water harbour at Port Talbot in the c1970 Swansea Bay currents have changed and Morfa and Kenfig Sands now seem to collect all sorts of "stuff".

High water level in the Dutch river Waal. In the foreground is a lot of driftwood, reeds and branches. The photo was taken near the village of Poederoijen, Gelderland Province.

Do come in and say hello when you're in Shoreham, you might find me there too. A different selection of my South Downs photos, all on large format canvases, is now also available at WashedAshore in Brighton's Open Market.
Join my photography workshops on the South Downs:

A dog’s bust appears to have been washed ashore by the waves.
The sky is all ablaze with a warm, golden glow although the sun has already set. The night falls and the beach is almost invisible in the gathering darkness. Waves break on two shores converging into the cape Akra Epanomēs, located very close to Thessalonikē, Greece.
Mount Olympus is discernible, 55 km (34 miles) away. It rises to 2,917 m (9,570 ft) and is the highest mountain in Greece. It was thought as the 12 gods’ everlasting residence, according to Homer. The sacred mountain has long inspired a legion of poets.
South Beach is a waterfront rural area with a white sand beach located in southern New Providence, Bahamas. The estimate terrain elevation above seal level is 8 meters (about 26 feet). Print Size 13x19 inches.
Most likely a fishterman’s glove, that fell into the ocean accidently, and then waves brought it to shore.
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
Psalm 42:7
