The parallel lines of thin strata look like sloping stacks of tombstones in some places on the beach at Ferriters Cove. Rocks at mid to low shore level tend to be superficially darker because of recent wetting, and encrusting biofilms of bacteria, lichen, algae and invertebrate organisms. The dry bare rocks at the top of the shore, however, reveal their true colours. The way that the sharp-edged and angular Silurian sedimentary rock layers project from the sand reminds me of the occasion when my front lawn was covered in broken slate tiles that had embedded themselves in the turf like so many thrown daggers after a violent storm had dislodged them from my roof.

Doesn’t exactly fit any of my very limited images of a rocky seashore!

It is a very unusual place. The rocks themselves are unlike any I have seen before. The tide was not very low when I visited so I wasn’t able to examine the low shore sea-life to any significant degree …but I did find some most unusual rock pools further along in my walk, isolated on top of a rock outcrop – I’ll post pictures of them later.

Very striking. They work well with the wide angle shots which emphasise the repeating pattern.

Thanks, Adrian. As I tend to do a lot of close-up photographs, I try to include pictures that give an idea of scale and context.
