I head out just after high tide.  I enjoy the turbulence of a tide on the turn, moving from thundering in to receding gracefully.  This time often makes for some interesting patterns on the surface of the water.  However, on my way I stop to capture a few images of the seaweed languishing on the beach, having been without water for days because of the slack tides.  Some of the shapes and patterns resemble what I term natural “beach graffiti”.

I begin my work at the water’s edge focusing on the movement of the seaweed under the water – the sun lighting up the secrets that lie under the water and giving a sense of depth and mystery, as well as a glimpse of the reality at the edge of the sea.  The water is fast moving and the waves still strong and dynamic.

I enjoy my work but the heat of the sun is intense so I return to base to grab a drink before heading out to capture the patterns on the sea. . .
