Lydd on Sea
Christmas Day on the beach, a different Christmas, spent it on my own, due to the COVID restrictions.Lydd-on-Sea is a modern village, mostly built after World War II, which consists mainly of bungalows built along the Dungeness coastal road south of Greatstone, Kent, England. The Southern Railway opened a railway station here in 1937 but was closed in 1967. Lydd-on-Sea is part of the ecclesiastical parish of Lydd, now several miles distant, which once had access to the sea.An island in a lake (created by gravel extraction) slightly to the northwest of Lydd-on-Sea is the site of a collection of sound mirrors designed by Dr William Sansome Tucker, to detect the approach of enemy aircraft, in the years before radar had been developed.

Dungeness
Waves of Shingle at DungenessDungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".

Life's a beach, Sydney
Photographed at the Fairy Bower Sea Pool (a tidal pool) - Cabbage Creek Bay, Manly, on Sydney's northern beaches.It's summer in Sydney, and today was always going to be full on sun, sand and people everywhere at Manly. School holidays galore.So I grabbed the camera, plus a couple of people who just happened to want to go to the beach (funny that - lol), plus one of their friends, and away we went in the Owl (my car), with the sun roof open, listening to Dua Lipa, 24kGoldn, Sza, iann Dior, Olivia Rodrigru, Justin Bieber, and so on. All my favourites!!Just as well Android Carplay was working and all devices could bluetooth!! And it was such relaxing music, especially 24kGoldn - he's a real treat!! You should try listening to that sometime soon.But, on the return trip, I got to play one retro tune - 'Born To Be Wild' by Steppenwolf. Well that's me, I explained - born to be wild. Stony silence. Then the 'friend' exclaimed from the back seat: "Isn't that person dead?"So it was a fun day at beach city. More photos to come when I get around to processing them.Photographed today, Thursday 21st January, 2021.

Cape Disappointment
I know, such an iconic vista for the Pacific Northwest photographers...yawn. Nonetheless, went there for what I thought would be some good meandering surf from the previous week's storm. No such luck, but the sunrise was incredible! There is never a bad day at the beach.

Caldey Island a small island off the coast from Tenby in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.With a recorded history going back over 1500 years, it is known as one of Holy Islands of Britain, and several traditions inherited from Celtic times are observed by the Cistercian monks who are the chief inhabitants and owners of the island today.A Celtic monastery was first established on the island in the sixth century, and the island thrived during the Middle Ages. Following the Norman Conquest, Robert fitz Martin, Lord of Cemais, gave the island to his mother Geva. In the 12th century, a priory was established there by Tironensian monks as a daughter house of St. Dogmaels Abbey, and lasted to the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536.The current abbey was built in 1910 by Anglican Benedictine monks but financial problems beginning in 1925 led to the 1929 purchase of the property by Belgian Cistercians. It is considered to be the most complete example of the Arts and Crafts style in the country and was the largest project of John Coates Carter. At the time of building, the abbey was called "the greatest phenomenon in the Anglican community at the present time". The roofs are of white roughcast with red tiling, and the abbey church has five side-windows and on the south a "tapering" tower with primitive crenellations.Currently island's population consists of 40 permanent residents and a varying number of Cistercian monks, known as Trappists, whose predecessors migrated there from Belgium in the early 20th century, taking over from Anglican Benedictines who had bought the island in 1906 and built the extant monastery and abbey but later got into financial difficulties.Today the monks of Caldey Abbey farm the island, chiefly raising dairy cattle, and make a range of items including cheese, shortbread, perfumes, and toiletries. In the spring and summer, visitors are ferried to Caldey, not only to visit the sacred sanctuary but also to view the island's rich wildlife.Information Source:
