Description
Last week at our local beach.
The tide was out farther than is usual, and we enjoyed exploring on our own while Mandy was getting her hair cut. :) (It was a spur-of-the-moment visit ... this was taken with my iPhone.)
The pilings are all that remains of a boat rental outfit that was active about 75 years ago. Hopefully the black and white mood conveys what the place might have looked like in its heyday.
All that dark stuff on the beach is seaweed. We've seen a lot of it up and down the coast this year.
ZOOM is better on this one.

Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Very impressive capture Tara I like the feel of it I can almost hear the gulls crying on the wind
Loving this B&W shot. Nice framed image. Well done
Nice shot. Looks so much like a photo from the American Civil War era.
This almost has the look and feel of ancient Greek ruins with those pilings. A very cool shot, Tara! It's interesting to see a landscape usually covered by water.
Interesting textures.
Love the mountain across the way. :)))) I am really starting to enjoy B&W images very much. :)))) The gulls are really enjoying their walk on the beach. :))))) Most excellent capture and info on this area. :))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))
I wonder why you have had this very low tide. Your capture really does make this scene look as if it was taken many years ago. Excellent.
This has a really nice vintage look to it. Nice work.
do the seaweed glows at night from the japan mess? anyway this is cool looking
Very beautiful B & W . I like very much Tara this scene very particular.Congratulations for this come back... Have a nice week end
The B&W works so well here--love the remains of the dock!!
My first thought was vintage postcard. Voices from the past born on the breeze.
Lovely shot Tara but I bet that seaweed smells!!
Amazing photo.
a beach with no frills, beautiful in its ruggedness
love the sepia feel you've created here, Tara! great image!
An atmospheric gem! Aren't iPhones wonderful?
Its a fine shot that once again, looks great as a black and white one.. Sometimes they work better that way.. Well done Tara! Rob
This looks amazing Tara. A really beautiful shot. :)
That is quite a low tide, isn't that called a neap tide? Seems like I've heard that somewhere. Excellent capture, and I could easily imagine this being taken decades ago. Well done!
A wonderful old time feel to this great capture Tara!!
Splendid photo! :)
I felt the antique nature right away with no hint from you. So it works for me.
I like the mood you created Tara by making b&w. Looks like it was from the industrial times before WWII, when pollution was a sign of success and wealth. Come to think of it, it was about 75 years ago!
Very nicely done black and white. Nice compo!
Great capture!
A great photo! Aren't tides amazing?
