These are completely natural patterns created in a tidal lagoon near Saudarkrokur in North Iceland, where black volcanic beach contrasts with the remaining water which reflects a beautiful blue sky.
We were making our way along the North coast of Iceland, using all possible small roads to drive along the coast lines of those beautiful North fjords. When we drove along the shoreline of Skagafjordur fjord we came to a place with an enormous, very prominent sea stack close to the shore called Þórðarhöfði from which two small causeways connecting the stack with the shore form a kind of tidal lagoon and these were the amazing patterns the receding waters were creating on the black volcanic beach.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
Sailing boat, Marina Cannes, French Riviera, France.
A boat is a sailboat (pieces of fabric), propelled by the wind. Historically, the boat was the first conveyance medium and long distance. Sailboats carrying goods, passengers, mail. They were used for fishing at sea, military and naval battles.
From the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century sailing propulsion gradually disappears for utility transport replaced by steamships and motor boats. Today, utility transport and fishing boats remain only in the less industrially developed countries.
The yachts are used for recreational purposes: competitive sailing and boating.
This was one of those calm, overcast mornings at Frazer Beach the other day where the sea was just quietly rearranging sand and pebbles on the beach while the sky painted in pastels.
Somewhere beneath that cloud-filtered light were:
Four surfers, one distant collier, and roughly 30,000 pebbles, each one perfectly content with where the sea placed it.
You're welcome to count them for an exact number but based on some back-of-the-envelope maths (8 square metres, average pebble size 15 mm, 60% ground coverage), you land somewhere between 25,000 and 35,000 pebbles. Approximately. Possibly. Maybe. I have no idea.
Thought for today: Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach them how to use the internet - and you may not hear from them for weeks. Maybe months. Possibly years.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to comment, it is greatly appreciated!
Waterscape 81/100 for 2025
Yesterdays photo taken at Botallack depicts the turbulent Atlantic Ocean positively battering the cliffs whereas in this capture it appears like milk spilling from a jug lol... I got far more pleasure when capturing this LE at Mother Iveys Bay though, because it was taken between lockdowns and although plenty of people on beaches a mile or so distant -because the local holiday camp of the same name we closed we had the beach to ourselves. I could relax whilst Jonathan threw a ball the opposite way to where i was taking photos which meant no paw prints in the sand and so got many different wave patterns as they broke on the beach. This was the only one that looked like this though....
The bay takes its name from the legend of Mother Ivy who was a local white witch who cursed a local family. It lies just around the coast from Harlyn Bay where you’ll find car parking and facilities (20 mins). Cushioned from the wind by the Merope Rocks, Mother Ivey’s Bay lies in a sheltered location framed by stunning coastal scenery where the soft sandy beach is ideal for both summer sandcastles and romantic winter walks.
A bright summer view of Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point, California, where small groups of beachgoers gather along the repeating surf line on a sunny Southern California afternoon.
Sun rises over the jetty at Vilano Beach, Florida. The sky and sand show colors of orange and gold. The morning light reflects off the sand creating a serene atmosphere.

Have a wonderful day, everybody.
Twice a year, on a few days, the sun sinks on the opposite shore of the elongated lake. This means that the warm colors of the sunset are reflected throughout the lake. However, the mountains prevent it from "sinking" completely into the lake.
The calm lake level made it possible to stand a bit in the water and hold the camera close above the surface to enhance the effect a bit more.
The picture was taken close above the water. In the foreground, the waves spread out in circles around the points where a stone has been thrown across and touched the surface.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!

Captured from above with a drone at Moutmarka, this image reveals the raw geometry of the coastline as waves collide with solid rock. From a top-down perspective, the sea transforms into abstract patterns of motion, foam, and texture, where turquoise water, white surf, and warm reflections meet in constant opposition. The photograph explores the thin boundary between movement and stillness, power and resistance, nature shaping itself moment by moment.
Fun fact: When photographed from directly above, breaking waves often resemble abstract paintings or satellite imagery — a reminder that scale and perspective can completely change how we experience nature.
It was raining most of the day here today, but in the afternoon things started looking a bit interesting...I love photographing the patterns waves make in the sand. A day for contemplation.....I so wish I had found the magic of photography years ago...how my life could have been changed earlier by finding this true passion...this medicine for the soul and healing for the heart! when I am in the field..whether in freezing water up to my ankles, or in an awkward position to get a good shot of a feathered friend, I feel no discomfort, no pain, no sorrow I feel only this one moment in time...
Happy New Year!!!! Happy Shooting!!!!
This lightens up much better in large view!
An edit of an ocean abstract taken in Havana, the Capital of Cuba. I have been selling a few of these abstract lately, they look great on canvas. If you are interested, please send me a message.

with the wind coming from the sea for a few days, the scluptures in the sand created pretty waves in the sand. At sunset a pink color came tinged the sand

Midday on the Texas Gulf Coast at Port Aransas, where shallow, clear water rolls in as neat, repeating bands. The sand ripples glitter in the swash while distant ships and summer cloud towers line the horizon—simple, quiet, and unmistakably Mustang Island.

A quick step, harsh sun, and a strikingly long shadow. The city etched in black and white upon the regular, wave-patterned lines of modern paving blocks. A moment trapped within the precise geometry of light and the constant motion of everyday life.
Managed to get this shot of the sun rising over the mouth of the Looe river - there was a lot of cloud and rain showers last week... and this the only morning I managed to get out early to capture the sunrise .. the cloud here helped to diffuse the bright light, and i was quite pleased with the result. I will post a couple more from this same morning later.
