Plodging around today at the coast as the tide was coming in. Long exposure. Unsightly offshore machinery detritus on the horizon.
Out wandering about yesterday.
I love this bleak little cove on the north east coast. It’s a tiny little pebble inlet between two imposing piers. The rest of the coastline is a vast expanse of sand, but this tiny bit brings in all manner of gnarled pebbles.
The small object sticking up above the waterline is named The Black Middens. It’s notorious for wrecking ships and claiming lives only yards from the shoreline. It’s covered at high water and over the centuries has claimed many ships who “switched off” after safely negotiating the river entrance. In 1864, the Middens claimed 5 ships in 3 days with many deaths, although the wrecks were only a few yards from the shore.
