Alien colony
Recent rain and winds helped sculp little sandcastles along the entrances to the Sea Isle beach over the weekend. I absolutely love the way they looked in the sunrise.In my mind, they look like they could be a colony of buildings on an alien planet.

Manorbier beach, part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.With its magnificent clifftop castle and historic Norman church, Manorbier has much to offer tourists with an interest in the past as well as visitors who love the seaside. Facing south-west and sheltered by the protective jut of Priest’s Nose head, the beach is sandy and spacious and popular both for family use and, when the sea state is suitable, for surfing.Fossils can be found along the stream bed, although some are of poor quality, and along the cliffs to the side of the beach the rock formations are revealed as vertical beds. The evidence of early human habitation consists of many flint microliths, housed in museums around the area, from the Mesolithic and Neolithic ages. The King's Quoit cromlech is the most notable monument in the local area and is to be found to the south east of Manorbier bay and beach.Later evidence points to occupation of The Dak with the finding of a perforated mace head as well as Bronze age burial mounds on the Ridgeway. Fortifications also seem to have been prominent including an Iron Age enclosure near Manorbier station and the site of a multivallate, meaning multiple ditches, promontory fort at Old Castle Head where there are remains of hut platforms within the ditches. A well-restored lime kiln is in Mud Lane behind the castle. To the east of Manorbier, on the side of the road to Lydstep, is an area of strip lynchets dating to early Anglo Saxon times and perhaps as early as the Bronze Age.The Norman knight Odo de Barri was granted the lands of Manorbier, Penally and Begelly in gratitude for his military help in conquering Pembrokeshire after 1103. The first Manorbier Castle was motte and bailey style, with the stone walls being added in the next century by later Normans. Giraldus Cambrensis, son of William de Barri, was born in the village in 1146, and called it "the pleasantest place in Wales".Information Sources:

The Another Place sculptures by Antony Gormley on Crosby Beach, north of Liverpool in Merseyside.Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The figures, each one weighing 650 kilos, are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.Having previously been seen in Cuxhaven in Germany, Stavanger in Norway and De Panne in Belgium, 'Another Place' is now a permanent feature in the UK, at Crosby Beach.According to Antony Gormley, Another Place harnesses the ebb and flow of the tide to explore man's relationship with nature. He explains: The seaside is a good place to do this. Here time is tested by tide, architecture by the elements and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance. In this work human life is tested against planetary time.This sculpture exposes to light and time the nakedness of a particular and peculiar body. It is no hero, no ideal, just the industrially reproduced body of a middle-aged man trying to remain standing and trying to breathe, facing a horizon busy with ships moving materials and manufactured things around the planet.Information Source:

Piracy On the High Seas!
OK, technically it was not on the high seas, but in U.S. territorial waters just off the Santa Bárbara pier... A swimming swashbuckler seized one of the paddleboards and, in spite of the brave defense put up by the captain, took control of the vessel...
Not sure if he held the captain for ransom.
Light the way
Nauset Light was constructed in 1877 as one of two towers in Chatham for navigation, of the dangerous shallows and perilous rocky coast.

Who Doesn’t Like Sunsets?...;-)
Visitors to Santa Bárbara are always surprised to see the sun not setting over the ocean, but way over to the right...
Since the beaches here face south, not west, the background for tourists at the end of the Santa Bárbara pier is just the perpetually hazy Channel Islands, as the sun sets off-screen, in the west, from where it hits the side of the young ladies’ faces...
