DSC_6366: A lone palm frames a peaceful shoreline, with a pier and distant waterfront buildings under a clear blue sky.
This photo features a beautiful beach scene with a palm tree standing near the water's edge. The palm tree is located on the left side of the image, and its fronds are spread out, providing shade and a relaxing atmosphere. The beach is situated next to a pier, which is visible in the background. In the distance, there is a large building, possibly a hotel or a residential structure, overlooking the beach and the water. The combination of the palm tree, the beach, the pier, and the building creates a picturesque and inviting scene.

DSC_7245: Smiling woman with vibrant red hair and sunglasses perched on her head, turning to enjoy a moment at the beach.
This photo features a woman with red hair and a pink shirt, wearing sunglasses and smiling. She is standing in a park-like setting, surrounded by trees. The woman appears to be enjoying her time outdoors, possibly posing for a picture.

DFC_4017: Shaded loungers and colorful umbrellas line a quiet sandy beach, framing a calm blue sea under a clear sky.
This photo shows a beautiful beach scene with colorful umbrellas or beach tents set up on white sand. The umbrellas have red and white striped patterns, creating a cheerful atmosphere at the shore. There are beach chairs arranged under the shade of these umbrellas, offering a comfortable place for beachgoers to relax. In the background, you can see the clear blue ocean waters stretching to the horizon beneath a bright, cloudless blue sky. The scene appears to be during daytime with excellent weather conditions. The pathway between the two rows of umbrellas creates a natural walkway leading directly to the water. This looks like a picturesque tropical beach destination where visitors can enjoy sun, sand, and sea.

Surf Tongue in Sri Lanka
The wave patterns of the surf never cease to fascinate me. On my daily morning walks along the beach, I often stop and study the formation, spread and mutual influence of the various wave fronts, both large and small. According to Schrödinger's equation, the physical world of matter corresponds in a certain way to the play of these water waves. The image again makes use of ICM elements, but I have taken the wave front sharply from a normal photograph.

Avicennia marina australasica
Présente sur le littoral de Nouvelle-Calédonie, Avicennia marina subsp. australasica est l’une des espèces emblématiques de la mangrove, de la famille des Acanthaceae.Ce palétuvier se reconnaît à son port souvent buissonnant ou arboré, à son écorce gris clair fissurée et à ses feuilles opposées, épaisses et coriaces, d’un vert grisâtre. La face inférieure des feuilles est souvent plus pâle, parfois légèrement argentée, adaptation liée aux conditions salines et à l’ensoleillement intense.L’espèce développe des racines aériennes dressées, appelées pneumatophores, qui émergent du sol vaseux et permettent les échanges gazeux dans des substrats pauvres en oxygène. Cette stratégie remarquable illustre l’excellente adaptation de Avicennia marina subsp. australasica aux milieux côtiers instables et salés.La floraison, discrète mais intéressante sur le plan botanique, donne naissance à de petites fleurs oranges.endemia.nc/flore/fiche8881

Ebb and flow
Trying to make the most of an overcast and fairly dull afternoon at Mystic Beach on Vancouver Island, Canada. It was also close to high tide which made it too dangerous to get close to the waterfall.

Dunraven point
Dunraven point is a headland on the south Wales coast. Its highest point was the site of an iron age hillfort. Adjacent to the headland are the remains of Dunraven castle, an early 19th century castellated hunting lodge, which was the last of many fortified buildings on this site. The rocky beach is Traeth Mawr, which can only be accessed at low tide down a rough set of steps on the headland. The cliff-face waterfall is Cwm Mawr.

Another phone shot

Daisy Light. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
A simple macro, shot because the petals caught the sun just right. The shadows in the background make the white pop without me having to do much. Proof that even a walk back to the car can hand you something worth photographing.

Daisy Core. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
I went in close to see how far the detail would hold. The pollen scatter gives it a bit of chaos, which I like. A straightforward macro, no tricks, just colour and texture doing their job.

Green Drift. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
Snorkelling means you end up photographing whatever floats past your face. The weed glowed under the sun, so I grabbed it. Nothing fancy, just bright colour and movement.

Brick and Block. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
Stacked materials, mismatched and unapologetic. I liked the straight-on view because it turns the whole thing into a study of lines and cracks. A nice little snapshot of suburban improvisation.

Water Glass. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
This one’s basically an experiment in texture. The ripples distorted into something almost metallic once I dropped the colour. It’s the kind of shot you get by pointing the lens down and waiting for the water to misbehave.

Surface Calm. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
Nothing dramatic, just the light skating across the top of the water. I shot it for the colour shift, blue to green depending on where the sun hit. Sometimes the simplest frames end up being the ones you keep.

Shell Wall. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
I liked the way the mussels and barnacles piled up like a tiny fortress. The colours are straight out of the water, no overcooking needed. A busy little corner of the bay doing its own thing.

Blue Sky, Rusty Corner. Opossum Bay, Tasmania.
I shot this for the colour clash, nothing more complicated than that. The rust, the screws, the faded timber, all sitting against a sharp patch of blue. A reminder that even the ugliest bit of a shed can clean up well with the right angle.

DSC_8995: Sunset glowing over the ocean, silhouetting a wooden pier-side structure as waves shimmer with golden light.
This photo captures a serene scene of a sunset over the ocean, with a house situated near the water. The sun is setting behind the house, casting a warm glow on the water and creating a beautiful reflection. The house appears to be a small wooden structure, possibly a beach house or a cottage. In the distance, there are two boats visible on the water, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The combination of the sunset, the ocean, and the house creates a picturesque and tranquil setting.

Not a Lace Nightdress
Not a lace nightdress on a woman's thigh, but a double exposure of surf bubbles on sand. One looks along the beach in perspective, while the other is a fairly frontal view of the water's edge. A photographic experiment on our local beach in Sri Lanka.

The Port of Iqaluit wharf
Silence reigns over the Port of Iqaluit as the deep freeze of winter locks the wharf in a thick, unyielding sheet of sea ice. Underneath a soft, pastel gradient of Arctic twilight, the infrastructure of the north stands quiet against a backdrop of snow-dusted hills. This scene captures the resilience of life in Nunavut, where the boundary between land and ocean blurs into a singular, frozen expanse until the spring thaw returns.

DFC_4029: Sunny morning at the city beach - small boats bobbing in the calm bay with high-rises rising in the background.
This photo shows a beautiful urban beach scene with a small bay area where several small boats are moored in the shallow water. The beach has soft, light-colored sand, and in the background, there's an impressive skyline of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers against a clear blue sky. The contrast between the natural beach setting and the modern urban development creates an interesting cityscape. The shoreline curves gently, with some greenery visible in the foreground. The scene appears to be taken during a sunny day, showing what looks like a popular recreational area where city meets shore.

DZ6_2682: Sunset stroll toward Blue Blue Beach Club - where evening waves and sea breeze meet.
This photo shows the entrance to "Blue Blue Beach Club" in what appears to be Ban Chang, Rayong Province, Thailand. The sign is mounted on a rustic bamboo or wooden fence barrier that runs along the roadside. The sign features the name "BLUE BLUE BEACH CLUB" in white lettering, along with what appears to be a seahorse logo and some decorative elements in turquoise. The photo is taken at dusk or early evening, with a gray-blue sky in the background. A street lamp is visible on the left side of the image, and there are some trees and landscaping around the entrance area. The curved road leads toward the beach club, suggesting it's situated near the coastline. The overall atmosphere conveys a casual, tropical beach destination.
