a light study #1

 One of the photographs  that I made towards the end of 2015. I've been taking the photographs  for the  littoral zone but not uploading them. 

This picture was made just after Xmas Day and before the summer holiday crowds on the coast put the beach and the coastal rocks off limits for our poodle walks. 

At the time I was attracted by the early morning summer light  just after sunrise. 

0515

During the Xmas/New Year's break  children have been playing in and  the rocks of the wilder beaches  that are unsafe for swimming.  When walking  with the  standard poodles in the morning I came across some of the little constructions from found objects in the sand or amongst the rocks. 

An example:

Mostly the constructions are circles, triangles or squares made from bits  of broken  white cuttlefish shells. 0515 was more adventurous and  it required a lot more scouting around to find the  wood and the iron. The wood  had disappeared by the next day.
