No 16 Beach, Rye for Skywatch Friday

 


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.

  2. I'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.

  3. I 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.

  4. I can see a single human there, walking out on the rocks. He/she seems at total peace, better than arguing with a group.

  5. Aun con todas complicaciones nos dejas una imagen de gran belleza.
    Creo que nadie podemos acaparar para nosotros un lugar publico.

  19. The light and color in the photos are lovely. Prickly people distress me. I guess they're hard to dodge in a place like this. 😂

  21. We 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.
