| THE LIGHT WAS FADING AS I DROVE FROM WORK. I NOTICED SOME GRAVEL PATCHES, SO MADE A GRAB FOR THE DOG AND HEADED FOR A DARKENING BEACH. |
 |
| LOTS OF GRAVEL BUT THE LIGHT WAS POOR. |
 |
| SERPENT IN DARKNESS. |
 |
| IT WAS WAY TOO DARK TO FIND MUCH AT ALL, FOUND A WELDING ROD PACKET TO GO IN THE RECYCLE BIN, SOME DRIFTWOOD AND INSIDE THE CLUMP IS A CHAIN, I WILL CLEAN THIS LATER. |
 |
| JUST A FEW FINDS , THERE WILL HAVE BEEN MORE BUT MORE LIGHT REQUIRED. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| SOME HANDY NUMBERS AND INFORMATION; A PHOTOGRAPH OF A HELPFUL SIGN DISPLAYED AT SEATON CAREW BEACH. |
 |
| A CALMER DAY THAN YESTERDAY BUT STILL PLENTY OF WAVES OUT AT SEA. |
 |
| LOOKING TO THE SOUTH ON A GREY DAY. |
 |
| THE VIEW ACROSS HARTLEPOOL BAY , STILL A BIT CHOPPY. |
 |
| THE POWER OF THE WAVES MADE SURE THAT WHEN THE WAVES BROKE THAT THEY RUSHED ON TO THE BEACH |
 |
| CENTRE OF PICTURE IS THE SERPENT. |
 |
| NOT A GREAT BUNCH OF FINDS. I WAS HOPEFUL OF MUCH MORE DUE TO THE STORMY CONDITIONS OF THE LAST FEW DAYS. THE SEA HAD DUMPED SAND AND VERY LITTLE GRAVEL, SO THE FINDS MAYBE BE THERE... JUST BURIED, THEY WILL SHOW WHEN THEY ARE GOOD AND READY |
 |
| BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| I WENT TO MIDDLETON BEACH AT AROUND.700 A.M. |
 |
| A LARGE BAGGED ITEM WAS ON JETTY. I WONDERED IF IT WAS SOME FORM OF INFLATABLE LIFERAFT. I REPORTED IT TO THE LIFEBOAT STATION WHICH IS ONLY A SHORT WALK AWAY. |
 |
| THE LIFEBOAT CREW WERE GOING TO CHECK IT OUT LATER. |
 |
| A CALMER SEA THAN YESTERDAY. |
 |
| A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER LOW TIDE. |
 |
| NEW AND OLD. |
 |
| MIDDLETON JETTY.THE BAGGED ITEM CAN BE SEEN ABOVE THE HIGH WATERMARK, THROWN THERE BY THE ROUGH SEAS EARLIER IN THE WEEK. |
 |
| #2MINUTEBEACHCLEAN. |
 |
| SEA GLASS AND SEA POTTERY. |
 |
| LUCKY BREAK ...SEE BELOW http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/d/dunnbenn.html |
 |
| TIDE HALFWAY OUT ..STILL ROUGH. |
 |
| STILL ROUGH AT THE SERPENT. |
 |
| BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH GARE HAVE TAKEN A HAMMERING TODAY. |
 |
| AGAIN VERY POOR FINDS AND BEACH CLEAN ... JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| LOOKING SOUTH AT MIDDLETON BEACH... THE TIDE WAS ON THE WAY OUT. |
 |
| I LOVE THE SEA; THE BEACH ; THE AIR; THE SKY. |
 |
| SPENT SO MANY MORNINGS ON THIS BEACH WITH MY FATHER AS A CHILD... I HALF EXPECT TO TURN AROUND AND SEE HIM THERE. WHAT WOULD I SAY ? |
 |
| POOR FINDS AGAIN,,, THE WOOD WILL MAKE A GOOD FRAME. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| ROUGH SEA ACROSS THE BAY. |
 |
| DRAMATIC COLOURS TODAY OUT AT SEA. |
 |
| HATS OFF TO THE CREW OF THIS SHIP, SETTING SAIL FROM THE RIVER TEES. IT'S THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN A LARGE SHIP TILT BACKWARD AND FORWARD GOING OUT FROM THE RIVER TEES ... SEE NEXT PHOTOGRAPH PLEASE. |
 |
| RIDING THE STORM. |
 |
| BRAVE SOULS. |
 |
| WHILST I PRAT ABOUT TAKING PICTURES OF WOOD. |
 |
| THE SEA WAS REACHING THE DUNES. |
 |
| THE SEA AND SKY CAN BE BEAUTIFUL... I LIVE NEAR THE SEA ...IF MY HOUSE HAD A SEA VIEW THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE A TV. |
 |
| SEA SERPENT! |
 |
| SOME PRAT DAMAGED THE BENCH SOMEONE HAD MADE IN THE DUNES..ANOTHER HAD BEEN MADE... IT PLEASED ME AND BROUGHT A SMILE ON A WINDY AND BITTERLY COLD DAY. |
 |
| GLIMPSE. |
 |
| DUNES. |
 |
| THE NORTH GARE TAKES A BATTERING. |
 |
| I DIDN'T GO ON TO THE BLUE LAGOON ... A COUPLE DID. |
 |
| THE POOR FINDS AND VERY POOR #2MINUTEBEACHCLEAN. BEACHBUOY. |
