Pebbles at Newgale in Pembrokeshire, Wales, form a massive tall ridge above the high tide line along a sandy beach where they were transported in a tremendous storm in 1859. The water has never risen high enough since that date to wash them down shore or out to sea again, although severe weather has be known to breach the embankment and wash pebbles across the adjacent road.
I do like the shot of the solitary person in the deck chair. Nicely positioned to the side with a vast expanse of pebbles and sky behind. Interesting to learn how the pebble bank got there – our continuously shifting coastline. pete

Amazing. I don’t know why, but, somehow, pebbles have a soothing effect on me. 😌

Thank you, Markus. I’m very drawn to pebbles to, as individual stones, and en masse. The sounds they make as they are drawn to and fro by the sea is a peaceful one.

I have happy memories of visiting Newgale beach when our children were small but I’d forgotten how immense that ridge of pebbles is. Your photos are stunning, all those textures and colours. I love the scarlet pimpernel growing between the pebbles, too ~ nature is full of little surprises. Very happy to have found your blog, Jessica! 😊
