calm seas my words are not lost but sunk (not in a bad way) deep in calm waters far from churning waves and strong currents they rest on the sand dappled with light from gentle ripples they wait and if the storm comes if the sea gets rough they’ll rise in the swell be there…… Continue reading Calm Seas

Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Convergence
For me the word convergence can go three ways … Lines converging in the distance in the, in this shot of the seafront up the coast at Tywyn on a stormy summer day. Sweeping your eye along that line into the farthest point where sea, beach and sea-wall merge in one… Or perhaps lines converging in nature,…… Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Convergence
bathed
colours smear across the sky and we stop pulled from our everyday drawn to gaze upon purples and pinks a haze of gold where all becomes magical bathed in beauty
Black & White Seaside
Yesterday we had a bit of a roadtrip, visiting a few places in north Wales. One place where we stopped and took photos was Tywyn, where we had a wander up and down the seafront. It didn’t feel very summery as it was very windy and chilly. I was wrapped up in jumper and coat…… Continue reading Black & White Seaside
storm
waves crash cross promenade making a new beach scattered with bricks torn railings and shredded benches a telescope for viewing far off boats lies askew in what was the road the seawall smashed and caving in a hollow where the floor should be white water surges down the streets sweeping unwary off their feet as…… Continue reading storm
Weekly Photo Challenge: Sea
My favourite photos of the sea tend to be calm soothing photos like this one. I know waves can look dramatic and exciting, but I prefer calm and soothing … drifting away into the horizon. Of course, being me I also have a tendency to get distracted by smaller things at the seaside, like these…… Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Sea
Aberystwyth Castle
Today we had a little wander round Aberystwyth while we had some time to spare. We walked round the castle and along the seafront a little before it was time to go again. I liked the look of the castle ruins against the beautiful sky, and I’ve used HDR Efex Pro to pull together 3…… Continue reading Aberystwyth Castle
Sea Pinks
This spring business is pretty good fun isn’t it?! I’m glad it finally decided to arrive. Yesterday we went for a walk on the beach and I was looking for some new spring growth and was delighted to find the Sea Pinks (or Thrift) are starting to flower. These were one of the first flowers…… Continue reading Sea Pinks
Birds
I don’t often take photos of birds as I tend to have my macro lens on most of the time, but recently I’ve been branching out a bit and trying new things, so on one of our walks recently I borrowed the 70-300mm lens and had a go at some bird shots. I have to…… Continue reading Birds
Peaceful Beach Views
We went for a little trip to Aberaeron yesterday – a town down the coast road from Aberystwyth – and enjoyed a sunny (but windswept) walk by the sea around the harbour. I took lots of photos, but these ones are my favourite calm, peaceful photos of the sea, the beach and gulls flying. It…… Continue reading Peaceful Beach Views
