Winter Erosion


Another trip to Green Hill, except this time my jaw dropped when I came over the sand dune to see the beach.  Everything was eroded.  I know winter erosion happens, sands shift, and beaches become steep, but I was here a month or so ago and it didn't look anything like this!  The sloping beach was replaced by a steep decline.  Waves were no longer breaking parallel to the beach but at all sorts of odd angles, indicating shelves and deposits of sand under the surface.  All sorts of new rocks were exposed, and I took my time walking the beach as the sun sank lower in the sky.

Here's some more long exposure photography from late in the day.  Enjoy!
