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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DFC_4043: Bright, sunny day on the beach as colorful festival sculptures rise against the blue sky and sea.
This photo shows a beach scene with the beginning stages of what appears to be a festival or event setup. There's a metal scaffolding structure being assembled in the foreground, with some colorful decorative elements visible in the background - including pink and yellow flags or banners. The setting is on a sandy beach with a clear blue sky overhead. In the distance, you can see water (likely a lake or ocean) and what appears to be a city skyline on the horizon. There's also a white container or water tank visible on the right side of the frame. This looks like preparation for a beach festival, concert, or public event, with the structural elements still being installed on the sand.

DSC_8985: A quiet beach at dusk with a weathered pier in the foreground and a distant city skyline hazy on the horizon.
This photo depicts a serene beach scene with a wooden pier extending out into the ocean. The pier is situated near a rocky outcropping, adding to the picturesque setting. The beach is covered in sand, and the ocean appears calm, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and contemplation. In the background, there is a city visible, providing a contrast between the natural beauty of the beach and the urban landscape. The city's presence adds a sense of depth and interest to the scene, making it a captivating image.

DSC_4165: Two pigeons striding across a sandy path, one leading the way while the other follows.
This photo features two birds, likely pigeons, walking on a sandy surface, possibly a beach or a dirt ground. One bird is positioned towards the left side of the image, while the other is on the right side. They appear to be walking in opposite directions, with one bird closer to the foreground and the other further back. The birds are standing on the sand, and their legs are visible as they move across the surface.

DZ6_2653: Quiet morning on the beach, empty sand, string lights, and a seaside shack waiting for the day to begin.
This photo shows a peaceful beach scene in Ban Chang, Rayong Province, Thailand. There's a sandy shoreline with footprints visible in the foreground. To the left side of the photo is a thatched-roof beach structure, likely a bar or restaurant, surrounded by some greenery and trees. String lights are suspended across the beach area, creating what would likely be a pleasant ambiance in the evening. The calm sea is visible in the background under a clear blue sky. The beach appears relatively quiet, suggesting it might be early morning or late afternoon based on the lighting. There are some small structures visible along the beach, possibly beach huts or seating areas. The overall scene depicts a tranquil coastal destination that appears to be set up for visitors to enjoy beachside relaxation.

DSC_6310: A peaceful seaside pier stretching into calm blue waters, framed by sandy shore and a blurred camera in the foreground.
This photo features a beautiful beach scene with a pier extending out into the water. The pier is surrounded by a large body of water, and there are several boats of various sizes docked along the pier. The boats are scattered throughout the scene, with some closer to the foreground and others further out in the water. In addition to the boats, there are a few people visible in the scene, likely enjoying the beach and the view of the boats. One person can be seen near the center of the image, while another is located closer to the right side. A third person is situated near the left edge of the image. A dining table is also present in the scene, positioned near the water's edge, possibly set up for a beachside meal or gathering.

San Sebastián evening
nicolas-hoizey.photo/galleries/travels/europe/spain/basqu...Bathed by the waters of the Cantabrian Sea, at the mouth of the river Urumea, San Sebastián owes much of its fame to its harbor, the Bay of La Concha, framed by two rocky eminences, Mount Igeldo and Mount Urgull, real natural balconies from which you can see a large part of the city, the ocean and the hilly landscape of the surroundings.

This photo captures a beautiful sunset at a beach in Ban Chang, Rayong Province, Thailand. The sun is low on the horizon, creating a golden-orange glow across the sky and reflecting on the calm water surface.

Pebble Beach tafoni sandstone and turbidites
Just south of Pescadero, CA, is a small beach locally known as Pebble Beach. Instead of sand it is covered with pebbles that have eroded out of poorly consolidated marine terrace sedimentary deposits in the face of the short bluff at the top of the beach.The turbidite deposits that surround and underlie the beach range in texture from fine siltstone to coarse sandstone.Many have tafoni weathering patterns that likely form when water repeatedly penetrates the porous rocks, dissolves tiny amounts of minerals that then are deposited at or near the surface of the rock when the water evaporates. As this process continues inner parts of the rock weaken and a crust-like resistant outer layer forms. Ultimately the inner part erodes away, sometimes helped by pebbles caught in the depression and tumbled about by the waves.
