Joel has never been fond of this place, yet I insisted that he accompany me. The site is well known for its Dragon Head rock, which I have shared photographs of on several occasions. This remarkable formation is only visible at the lowest tide of 0.1 meters. Unfortunately, I misread the tide charts online, and by the time we arrived, the tide was already at a medium level, steadily rising towards full tide.
To make matters worse, we unexpectedly encountered a photography group led by an individual with whom Joel had previously clashed. This unfortunate coincidence greatly aggravated his temper. However, we still maintained amiable relations with some members of the group, allowing for a few pleasant exchanges despite the otherwise tense situation.

During time away, I will not be active on commenting and posting.
Oh, dear! I'm glad fisticuffs were avoided!
ReplyDeleteIt was a rather awkward moment
DeleteI'm sorry this wasn't a pleasant experience for Joel but I think it is a beautiful spot and you captured it so very well.
ReplyDeleteJoel was hiding behind me the whole time.
DeletePretty seascape! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You too!
DeleteI will miss your posts if you will be away for a while. Despite miss reading the tide chart, you managed to get a great photo of the rocks and shore. The person out there just gives your photo scale.
ReplyDeleteI will still try to post and comment as I could possibly do. It feels good to be appreciated
DeleteI can see a single human there, walking out on the rocks. He/she seems at total peace, better than arguing with a group.
ReplyDeleteThat chap stayed away because of the loud arguments on our ends
DeleteAmazing view, awesome click
ReplyDeleteAun con todas complicaciones nos dejas una imagen de gran belleza.
ReplyDeleteCreo que nadie podemos acaparar para nosotros un lugar publico.
Saludos.
Just like there are no tribes that can own the lands.
DeleteA pesar de la marea alta la fotografía y el atardecer son bellos.
ReplyDeleteThe area lacks a landmark feature for foreground
DeleteExcellent composition!
ReplyDeleteThe unfortunate coincidence has been overcome,
ReplyDeletebut the photo remains!!
These things happen sometimes!
Be well and have fun!
We will be here to admire your photos whenever you can post them!
It is more photojournalism rather than nature in Taiwan
DeleteShame it wasn't a pleasant encounter but the photograph is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope your time away goes well.
All the best Jan
Thank you for the good wish
DeleteGoodness, lots of drama involved with this photo. I love the light!! And it looks like a person in the background, showing some good perspective.
ReplyDeleteHuman in the photo does scaling for the view
DeleteEl lugar es una belleza, la foto también lo es.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
An interesting place with interesting people. Interesting is not always good.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is beautiful and that what matters.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
All's well that ends well specially with such a lovely photo!
ReplyDeleteColorful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spot. Hopefully next visit whenever that maybe neither of you will encounter the group.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat composition, and an extraordinary encounter with the group...
ReplyDeleteUn lugar maravilloso, me encanta la foto que has hecho.
ReplyDeleteMuchos besos.
And now I need to more about that clash.
ReplyDeleteFantastic setting , composition and colors.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you made the best of the situation.
ReplyDeleteSetting is spectacular! Composition is a 10. This image is perfect. So something positive came out of the stop. Enjoy your adventure from this day forward.
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunning photo :-D
ReplyDeleteThe light and color in the photos are lovely. Prickly people distress me. I guess they're hard to dodge in a place like this. 😂
ReplyDeleteYou got a great image despite the tensions.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Rye Beach in the U.S. state I live in but it looks nothing like this. Even if you missed the low tide opportunity you still got a nice picture. Happy that the tensions were able to be somewhat defused.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful golden tones!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. I love that golden light!
ReplyDeleteLa fotografía es muy bonita. Besos.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear of the altercation, but the composition of this shot is excellent. Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning capture ! Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
