the bones of the sea by graemestevens

the bones of the sea

It would seem that Mother Nature has taken the liberty, through the medium of storms, of removing most of the sand from my beach. This is what is left.
She's gone and done you a favour - something new to shoot... And rant about ;p

That will make for some rough walking, but some great textures and shadows.

From the shoreline to bottom of frame, this could have been taken in a desert. What an opportunity to play that against the sea and sky. You're well on your way.

actually you cant blame mother nature for this, its the stupidity of humans, you have sand mining off your coast up there, they are planning to do it here as well, just watched this this morning, its an eyeopener!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKQaJ4akm50&feature=youtu.be

At least this means less people bothering your beach.
August 21st, 2016  
Stunning

Just think, maybe there is some previously rock strewn shore, somewhere, that now has a luxurious beach, thanks to the redistribution of your sand. On the other hand, maybe someone's previously navigable channel is all choked up with it.

@gardencat I think they should be made to return it, immediately if not sooner.
@shylaine3304 Thank you very much :)
@joysabin You'd be surprised. So many photographers...
@kali66 I'll blame who I feel like blaming on any given day, and they'll wear it well. But no, it's not a clever idea.
@fotoblah I may have to do some "work" with it...
@aecasey It's quite slippery too...I must have looked hilarious
@northy I always like to complain...it must be my age...

Very cool scene, awesomely shot! Despite a sad predicament...
August 22nd, 2016  
It'll come back.. I'd spend more time down there before it does. Super shot (apart from that big hole in the sky..I never like those)
August 22nd, 2016  
@yrhenwr I tried to get rid of that hole, but the crop ruined the shot...but yes, much more dramatic without the sand
@kerosene Thank you ma'am :)
@susale Thank you kindly ;)

Wonderful shot, moody and powerful. Big fav!

Nice shot, love the interesting foreground and your usual dark tones.

August 23rd, 2016  
@annied This was hellishly slippery...I "wind milled" a few times
August 23rd, 2016  
@graemestevens oh...i love a good windmill...livin' on the edge and all ha ha
August 23rd, 2016  
A most excellent shot. I've got a wheelbarrow and a shovel you can borrow if it helps. :)
