The Lighthouse
When I first looked at this photo I thought there was something wrong with it!. Then I realised that there was paint missing on the lighthouse itself. Most of the ones I found on the net must have Photoshopped it out !!
Kahless showed me some of the local shells. I’ve got no idea what they are called and an internet search hasn’t helped at all at this stage. I will add anything if I work out what they are.
Here’s another one:
Isn’t it cool.
This is the other side. Kahless reckoned you never find them whole and we found them whole much to her surprise !! This one had one side whole.
I’m not sure what these are. Wooden thingees sticking out from the beach, but aren’t the timber colours stunning.
As we walked along the beach, the sand shapes changed. So of course, I had to photograph it.
I’m tempted to try and Photoshop the brick out. It is really irritating me !!
It’s a great spot for dogs. We watched one of these dogs lose their ball and circle around and around to try and find it. Ally would have love this spot.
You can see how cold and windy it is. Everyone is rugged up nice and tight.
The dunes (you can just see the lighthouse in the background)
And the beach
The other direction
Nothing like the Australian beaches that’s for sure.
Out in the ocean we could see the wind farms. I reckon they would be great here. The whole time I was here the wind was blowing a gale.
Also, off in the distance I could see:
Oil Rigs I think. They were a long way away and it’s only the fact that I’ve got such a good zoom on my camera that I could photograph them.
A sign
I know I certainly wouldn’t swim in this water. It would have to be an awful lot warmer before I even thought about taking some of my clothes off let alone getting into bathers.
By this time, we were both getting cold so we decided to head into Chester to check out the sights. And that’s another little story.

For the record my stomach isn't that big in the photo - rather I had a load of belongings stuffed into my inside coat pockets
Lol!
Kahless
I hadn't even noticed anything other than your hand and the shells !! I bet no one else does but you hehehe!!
Hehehe!
Actually, it looked like one big tum on my blackberry but fine on the pc!
I have researched...
The long ones..
"English Sea Urchin Spines Seashells - Measures approx . 75"-1. 5". These are the actual spines of the English sea urchin. Used by the creature for protection from other predators."
I toldja it wasn't big !!
Well done with the research, Kahless. Thanks mate.
The others are cockle shells perhaps?
Blue Bells
Cockle shells
Evvie ivy over
I like coffee, I like tea,
I like the boys and the boys like me!
Yes no maybe so, repeated over and over until the jumper misses.
That's the first thing that came into my mind when you said cockle shells :-)
I've never seen long shells before. My Grandad used to make the big shells up into lights. They were really lovely.
BTW we do have wind farms here. http://www.horizonpower.com.au/environment/renewable_energy/wind/index.html I have some photos somewhere of the Esperance ones.
I love your photos and Kahless, I didn't notice your tum. LOL Just the shells.
I wasn't sure how you get the link to come out so you can just click on it, so you'll have to copy and paste. Sorry about that. LOL
Kaz
Did you notice my bitten fingernails instead?
Rosy,
The brick gives the picture character and give our conversation scope. It kind of talks about how time changes.
I like that; there's a stone and a brick in the changing sands of time type thing.
Kahless, i didn't notice your nails till you said! *giggles*
I didn't notice your nails Kahless. I noticed the colour of your clothes, the ring on your finger and the shell you were holding.
here
Thanks Kahless, for your tip, testing if I'm getting the link right. LOL
Yayyyyyy, it worked Kahless. LOL I couldn't figure out why the here was in there as well. LOL I've printed out the destructions and will keep them to do it again.
Morning Kazza, Kahless and Roses. Kazza: I hadn't seen the wind farms in Australia, thanks for that link. They are all over the UK, I think that's about the 3rd or 4th lot I've seen.
Kahless, your hands and tum are fine LOL. Nobody even noticed them.
Roses. Okay. I still don't like the brick even if it does give us something to talk about :-)
