I would usually swim here but a combination yesterday’s weather and timing made it a little impractical. What’s only partially visible but not obvious is the wind that was blowing. It was moving the sand over the surface of the beach and created a wavy effect just in front of the shoreline. Combined with the stormy clouds above and two sand mounds in the foreground it provided quite a good multi toned b&w image.

A longer view of the beach with sand drift lines drawing the vision into the frame. An ND filter would have been useful for these two images to slightly blur the breaking waves but a long exposure wasn’t really possible under these conditions - even if I had a tripod handy.

Below, a colour shot for context.
