arrival

As often happens with the shifting sands at "my" beach a rock that has been mostly buried for months has finally made it's presence known...and the clouds were perfect.
Best on black I should think.
That is so neat - all the lines of the sky and sand converge (word of the week) with those of the rock. Obviously intentional but still so effective:)

Whoa there, this is too good!

That rock looks like a shipwrecked boat. With the bow sticking out from the sand. Seriously dramatic scene
September 1st, 2020  
it does look like a shipwreck
September 1st, 2020  
That looks like some kind of creature, I'm sure I can see a face
September 1st, 2020  
I thought it was a shipwreck at first too but I do love a great rock 😉
September 1st, 2020  
that's so great
September 1st, 2020  
It does look like it is emerging from the sand, as others have said, I see the shipwreck vibe too.

Yowsers, great pov!
September 1st, 2020  
Very cool look.
September 1st, 2020  
Your landscape photos are incredible (my preference:)
September 1st, 2020  
Stunning!

I thought it was a beached whale until I made the pic bigger! Lovely scene
September 1st, 2020  
Fantastic stone whale! and great sharpness and detail. Fav
September 1st, 2020  
wow! indeed perfect clouds, same direction as the layers of the rock.
Nice beach
September 1st, 2020  
Amazing - must fav.
September 1st, 2020  
I almost see a face on that rock, as 'she' is reaching for the shore. Fav

Looks like a prow or maybe a whale! Glad neither is beached. Gorgeous shot

Gorgeous shot. It does look like the prow of a sunken ship. Fascinating how such a huge rock could be hidden, or revealed, by shifting sands in just a matter of a few months.

Lake Michigan is so high -- breaking all recorded history -- that all "our" rocks are beneath the surface. I like the dramatic composition you created.

@taffy Thanks very much - we haven't had as much rain as usual here, it's been a very mild winter
@gardencat There's a river mouth here as well which tends to shift a fair amount of the sand - this rock will probably be gone again in a few weeks!
@jgpittenger Thanks very much :)
@joysabin Almost...there's definitely a hint of face...
@linnypinny Thank you so much :)
@adi314 Thank you kindly - it's all down to Mum Nature of course.
@caterina Thank you very much :)
@shepherdmanswife People think I'm a beached whale when I'm on the beach...
@photographycrazy Thanks very much :)
@pdulis Thank you so much :)
@space319 Thanks very much :)
@lyndamcg Thank you kindly...I have wet knees
@novab Definitely a heavy shipwreck ;)
@koalagardens Thank you kindly :)
@annied I'm a big fan of rock ;)
@kjarn There's a hint of a face...
@brigette I don't think it would have floated much to begin with...
@salza Thank you kindly - it's all Mother Natures fault ;)
@aikiuser Thank you very much :)
@fbailey Thank you kindly....every now and then I get it right
September 2nd, 2020  
neat phenomenon
September 2nd, 2020  
I’m checking you out if you’re hiding behind the rock😷
September 2nd, 2020  
@joemuli Don't tell everyone ;)
@blueberry1222 Mother Nature strikes again ;)
September 3rd, 2020  
I like the subtle colour in this...
September 3rd, 2020  
@vignouse Thanks very much :)

Beautiful shot
September 10th, 2020  
A beauty, Graeme! Congrats to you on the TT!

Love this. Which NP beach is 'your' beach? I'm originally a Taranaki person.
September 27th, 2020  
@carolinesdreams we moved away for a long time but now that we’re back in NP Back Beach is my “local”
September 27th, 2020  
@graemestevens A gorgeous local. We were up earlier in the year to look at the lights and took that back road from Paritutu past Back Beach back to Opunake & friends. Very special part of the world.
September 27th, 2020  
@carolinesdreams It's a bit "sleepy hollows" at times but it'll do ;)
September 27th, 2020  
@graemestevens Haha! Perhaps therein lies its charm, minus the Headless Horseman.
