Once More Onto The Beach
Down the beach again, looking at all the eroded things and the patterns the water leaves behind. I had my polarising filter on the lens this time which meant I could take clearer pictures through the water. First time I've been able to use it for that, despite me buying it for exactly that.

This chunk of power station looks like it's wrapper in a quilt with a brick pattern.

More accidental terrazzo.

Beautiful rust.

Occasionally you see something swimming about in these pools, but they're very quick, very small and as soon as you've seen one it's gone again.

The blue really stands out when you're there.

Sometimes they remind me of Mars Global Surveyor photos.

But this isn't Mars, just look at that!
