Volcanic Ash

Still on the same stretch of beach at The Point where I took the last two days of photos from, only this is a bit further around the headland.

I just love the gorgeous colours of volcanic ash. It is quite brittle as it sits among the sand and stones on the beach.

Great capture. Really like all the different colours and textures.

I love those colours too - as you might imagine. Imaginative shot!

@quietpurplehaze I went back today to get this shot when the tide was out and I thought of you Hazel.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Amazing colourations and the formation of the rock splitting and breaking up showing the purple molten ash remains !

Wonderful patterns textures and tone producing an interesting image Babs well spotted:)

Interesting how it's so different from the other rocks you've photographed, great colours here.

[Taffy]

Another strong abstract from natural elements. You're collecting enough of these to make a wonderful nature book.

[Margo]

love the purples

[Babs]

@helenhall Thanks for the link Helen, but the theme finished on the 31 July. too late. Oh well!

[Babs]

@cmp @beryl @pcoulson @gilbertwood @hermann @happysnaps @hrs @jodies @annied @merrelyn @salza @mittens @seattlite @craftymeg @ivan @jesperani @shirleybankfarm @jackie8 @inthecloud5 @777margo @radiogirl @deborah63 Thanks. This is one of my favourite walks, so many different things to see. Beaches on either side of the headland, plus the marina, mangrove swamps, volcanic remains, birds, plus very expensive water front properties.

[Marnie]

Fab stuff Babs, keep 'em coming.

[*lynn]

great colors and texture ..... and very interesting

[Stephanie]

Wow, it all looks abit like marble? I am so drawn to the shapes and the colours and the sense/feel of time past, fav.

[Babs]

Thanks. I just love the green and purple of the volcanic ash as it solidifies. It is so brittle and you can pick up pieces of it.

[Kathy A]

Great colours
