What you may think is Nothing Much is actually AWESOME - Basalt at Bunbury
Basalt outcrops evident on the beach at Bunbury took me totally by surprise. Western Australia is an ancient, very ancient, block of the earth's crust, so why is there basalt here? I pondered this for about 15 minutes then it dawned! This is evidence of the lava that issued as the ancient continents broke up, for this is where India Plate separated from the Australian continent, and as it did (just as in East Africa today) lava flowed to the surface and down a rift valley existing at the time! I understand that this basalt has been traced for 150 kms using aeromagnetic recording south to Black Point and then out to sea, and that in places it is over 200m thick! When did India and Australia separate? About 130 million years ago.

Sunset beach, Oahu
As daylight fades along Oahu’s famous North Shore, Sunset Beach transforms into a glowing panoramic spectacle. The sky bursts with vibrant shades of amber, gold, and soft magenta, casting a warm hue across scattered clouds and the expansive Pacific horizon. Dark, rocky formations contrast sharply against the gentle white froth of incoming waves, while beachgoers gather along the wide shore to pause and absorb the tranquil beauty of dusk. It is a quintessential Hawaiian moment—peaceful, luminous, and rich with the natural warmth of paradise.

The Fiery Gold of Winter: A Waimea Sunset
The legendary winter swells of Oahu's North Shore may be on their final, powerful breath, but the day isn't going down without a signature display of raw, natural majesty. From the vantage point of Waimea Bay, a heavy, dramatic canopy of charcoal and bruised purple clouds presses down, a reminder of the storm power that has sculpted these shores. But then, as if on cue for the day's finale, a searing golden sun burns through a single, perfect horizon break. The result is a furnace of molten amber light that floods the scene, contrasting sharply with the cold dark of the upper sky. The heavy winter ocean, with its deep indigo hue, still churns with powerful, persistent energy. Its force is manifested in the vast, churning wall of white foam and turquoise water that crashes onto the shoreline, captured in its perfect state of rushing forward. The dark, rugged headland stands as a quiet, ancient sentinel on the left, a constant against the transient power of the light and the sea. This isn’t just a scenic photo; it’s the archetype of a Waimea winter—a fleeting, powerful, and utterly unforgettable moment where the fierce energy of the Pacific meets the tender, golden grace of a Hawaiian sunset. You can almost feel the cool air and taste the salt spray, an echo of the powerful forces that shape this iconic island home.

The Skillion
So this rocky headland at Terrigal, NSW is known as the Skillion. A skillion is by definition a towering rocky headline overlooking the ocean. Pretty well sums it up! It also doubles as a piece of training equipment judging by all the groups of youngsters running up and down it early in the morning. Crazies! I hope everyone has an awesome Friday night & wonderful weekend 👋😀 Cheers

Blue Hour at the beach
Created from seven individual photographs stitched into a single panoramic image, this view captures Solastranden near Stavanger Airport on Norway’s southwestern coast. The expansive beach, gentle waves and dramatic blue-hour cloudscape create a sense of openness that is characteristic of the North Sea shoreline. Beneath the vast sky, sea, sand and weather merge into a quiet coastal symphony, revealing why Solastranden is considered one of Norway’s most iconic beaches. Fun fact: Solastranden is one of the few large sandy beaches in Norway and stretches for more than two kilometres along the North Sea coast. Its open location makes it a favourite destination for surfers, photographers and birdwatchers throughout the year.

Offering to the Sea Goddess
This photo was taken at Ramírez Beach during the Fiesta de Yemanjá in Montevideo. The hole in the sand is part of an offering to Yemanjá, the Afro-Brazilian goddess of the sea. Flowers, candles, and other gifts are placed inside as a gesture of devotion and gratitude. "Believers of the Umbandist religion in Uruguay established February 2nd as Yemanjá Day. On this day, offerings are made to the sea and rivers to celebrate the goddess, a ritual that celebrates the power of natural waters, the energy of the sea and rivers."

Moelfre a beautiful Picteresque seaside Village on the East-coast of Anglesey. Lovely bay and quayside and lovely walks with views looking out to sea. Lots to do and see here with Maritime Heritage Attractions, including the Lifeboat Station. In the early hours of October 26th, 1859 Royal Charter was forced onto the rocks only fifty yards from the shore. The ship was repeatedly battered against them with such force that she broke in two pieces. She was on her last leg of her two month journey from Melbourne to Liverpool carrying 452 men, women and children and a cargo of gold valued at a£320,000. This was the worst storm that hit the Irish Sea. After all efforts to control the ship failed, they anchored the ship, but both anchors broke and she was driven towards Moelfre Bay. Bodies continued to wash up on the beach over the following weeks, a Memorial was placed on the cliff top.

Gefühlt müssen die den demnächst wieder versetzen, wenn der Wind weiter den Sand in richtung Festland treibt. Die Szenerie ist aber wunderschön und der Auffenthalt dort war wirklich toll. Mit dem Sonnenuntergang hatte ich glück.

Whispers of the Shore - Oregon, USA
A quiet evening on the Oregon Coast, where fog and light conspire to blur the line between dream and reality. Haystack Rock rises like a silent guardian through the mist, while the low tide leaves behind a mirror of gold on the wet sand. A single stone anchors the foreground — small, still, unbothered by the vastness around it. Sometimes the most powerful images aren't about clarity. They're about atmosphere, stillness, and the feeling of being completely alone with the ocean. Shot on location at Pacific City, Oregon. Visit me on www.patrikseiler.com

Observatoire Sainte Cécile, Arcachon Conçu en 1862 et achevé en 1863 sous la direction de Paul Régnauld, ingénieur en chef de la Compagnie du Chemin de Fer du Midi et urbaniste de la Ville d'Hiver, l'édifice est pensé pour offrir une attraction aux villégiateurs et malades venus soigner leurs voies respiratoires au grand air de la forêt de pins. La réalisation technique du belvédère et de la passerelle Saint-Paul voisine est généralement associée au jeune Gustave Eiffel (alors âgé de 30 ans et collaborateur sur les chantiers de la région, notamment la passerelle ferroviaire de Bordeaux). Bien que certains historiens nuancent la part exacte d'Eiffel dans les plans par rapport à Régnauld, l'audace métallurgique de l'ouvrage porte l'empreinte novatrice des structures en fer forgé de cette époque. > Archi-légèreté : La structure métallique mesure environ 15 à 25 mètres de hauteur.
