The Ripple of the Sands

Great view back towards St. Andrews Amelia. What a beautiful day it was:)
Best regards, Doug

It was great weather to begin with, Doug, but deteriorated later. We walked all the way round to the Eden estuary, opposite Leuchars aerodrome. A couple of years beforer i managed to get 4 Eurofighter Typhoons in one photo. tThey have now been moved to Lossiemouth and Coningsby. I have seen them flying at Coningsby.

This is beautifully composed to show off both the sand (and it's lovely patterned and textures) and that gorgeous sky. The distant figures give a great sense of just how huge the beach is..!!

that's a perfrect description of this photo, Keith. thank you so much. Evetry time we visit my home town of St,Andrews we walk along this beach - unless of course it's poring with rain!

großartiger Blick

thank you, Reinhard. The only thing that spoils it is the caravan park on the hillside. It wasn't there when I lived in the town.

I remember well "The Riddle of the Sands" Amelia, but that is another story ;-))

Always interesting and uniques patterens!

Solitude (000°) - Kniepsand/Amrum

I'm so pleaded that someone has picked up on the Erskine Childers connection in the title, Lutz. :-))

I think your beach is probably even longer than this one.

A beautiful beach, Amelia. How I would love to walk along it.

Thank you, Dany. if you come to Scotland, I'll walk with you here, then we can go for an Italian ice cream in town.

Fabulous beach scene very well captured!!
The ripple patterns are really unique and eye- catching!

thank you, Sasi. Ripples like this are really quite common on beaches with a shallow shelf, but I like them nevertheless.

Exceptional capture!

As always, William, thank you for the compliment and the invitation to the largest group in Ipernity. :-)

Love the verticals of the ripple patterns with the horizontals of the sky!

isn't it just as well that the runners ran in the sea for the making of Chariots of fire, Gudrun? Running along these ripples would be most uncomfortable. ;-)

wonderful contrast to the snow pictures of these days!

If we'd had any snow i would be posting photos of it, Volker. I only wish we did!

Super framing Amelia and those ripples make an amazing picture....great sky as well :)) Cheers, Rosa.

Put St.Andrews on your list of places to visit, Rosa, The whole town is steeped in history and there are plenty of photo-opportunities. i know you's love it.

I am sure I would Amelia. My niece lives in Aberdeen and I would love to visit her.....it's on the list ;-))

A lovely panorama here, Amelia. Those ripples are amazing.
Have a greart week ahead.

mesmerising

You must have had a lovely walk on such a huge beach, Amelia! I do love ripples as well, they are just magical!
Have a nice week

An impressive expanse of sand and a lovely sky, Amanda.

Lovely capture of a terrific stretch of sand and ripples Amelia

Beautiful patterns and a beautiful photo.
