29 DEC. 2017. SEATON SANDS AND NORTH GARE BEACH.

LOOKING LIKE A BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPH
THIS ONE IS COLOUR.
IT WAS SUCH A COLD GREY MORNING.
THIS CAME TO ME WHILST ON THE BEACH ....

A POEM
I'M ON THE BEACH.

I'M ON THE BEACH,
"HOW DOES IT FEEL?",
IT'S LIKE THE WORLD IS MADE OF STEEL,
THE AIR IS COLD AND ALL IS GREY,
THE ONLY PLACE I'D BE TODAY.


YET ANOTHER MASSIVE TIMBER WASHES UP.

AS WE REACHED NORTH GARE SANDS , THE RAIN STARTED.
THE FISHERMEN FISHED.

A LARGE TIMBER, LOOKING A LITTLE LIKE A DEEP WATER FISH.
NOTE THE COPPER / BRASS NAIL WHICH LEADS ME TO THINK  THAT THIS WAS POSSIBLY PART OF AN OLD SHIP'S KEEL.
THE ROMANTIC WORD OF SHIPWRECK SPRINGS TO MIND, BUT MAYBE THE THE SHIP WAS JUST LEFT, OLD AND ABANDONED  TO ROT AND BREAK UP.

I FOUND THREE BONES TODAY
AS ALWAYS I WISHED THEM REST IN PEACE AND BURIED THEM...
THEY MAY BE ANIMAL?- THEY MAY BE MAN?
OLD SAILORS LOST TO THE WAVES MANY YEARS AGO?
OR A SHEEP FELL OF A CLIFF TOP.
BLESS THEM ALL.

WE TOOK  THE DUNE  ROLLER COASTER WALK BACK TO THE BEACH AS THE TIDE HAD COME IN QUITE A BIT SINCE WE HAD CROSSED TO THE NORTH GARE.

THE RAIN TURNED TO SLEET.

THIS ONE IS BLACK AND WHITE, THE SLEET WAS BECOMING SNOW.




COLOUR AGAIN.
THE SNOW WAS HEAVIER AND WAS STARTING TO LAY.

I DID A #2MINUTEBEACHCLEAN BUT THE ITEMS WENT STRAIGHT TO BIN DUE TO TERRIBLE WEATHER.

BEACH BUOY.......
