Mangrove Graveyard

I went for a walk yesterday along the foreshore to take some photos.

This is the area where my favourite mangrove used to be, some of you will remember it, but it ended its days after a massive storm a while ago. There are still a few dead mangroves in the water though and this is one of them.

Don't worry there are lots of mangroves along this stretch of the beach, it is just a few in the water here that have died. I still think they look beautiful.

Quite eerie and disturbing with the silver sand , clear blue sea , to see the black charred remains of the mangroves reaching out !

Sorry I have been a bit absent but a lot going on here at the moment. Hopefully will be able to catch up later today.

I do love the mangroves along this stretch of beach and maybe this tree will be my new favourite after the demise of the last one.

There is something uniquely beautiful about their twisted trunks. Nicely captured.
