Shoal Bay

I took this photo a few days ago while walking around the headland at Shoal Bay. I just loved the layers beside and in the water.

I love how clear our water is and the dark area in water on the right of this picture are the seagrass beds.

Hopefully this link about seagrasses will work if anyone is interested.

Below is a seagrass restoration in the UK

Luckily seagrass beds are quite prolific in our area.

Beautifully captured layers and textures, the colour of the water is fabulous.

@ludwigsdiana You were quick off the mark Diana. I was trying to put this link about seagrass into my narrative, but it wouldn't work, so I had to do it again.

Here it is if you are interested.

@jeneurell the dark parts are seagrass beds. If you check out the link above it will explain

Beautiful shot and the water looks so lovely. Two days I went for a long walk along our coast road and the beauty of the sea in the sunshine was something out of this world.

[Beryl Lloyd]

[Annie-Sue]

great progression from beach to deep blue sea

Great layers indeed! I love how clear the water is too!

Do try the smoke when you have time. It is a lot of fun, but most work is in processing...

[haskar]

Great composition and layers.

[Corinne C]

A wonderful place! The water is so clear. Thanks for the videos about seagrass

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice shot- the color of the water is amazing. I think a major sea grass bed washed up on the beach in Texas when we went to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. It looked a lot like this- only the grass was loose.

[Shutterbug]

I love all the layers and beautiful colors.

[Rick]

Lovely capture.

[Kathy]

I like the changes in color as the bottom changes and water deepens.

[bkb in the city]

Beautiful

[Babs]

@johnfalconer Maybe you need to make another trip.

@olivetreeann Sad when seagrass gets washed up on the beach, we get it washed up here when we have had huge storms but the seagrass beds always seem to thrive and survive.

[Boxplayer]

Beautiful colours and a very important habitat, glad it's thriving

[Wylie]

Lovely layers of colour

[Madeleine Pennock]

I enjoy the different colours in the water and textures of the wet and dry rocks.
