At the water’s edge (4)

A maiden gathering winter fuel?

No. it’s a partially buried pebble and a strand of seaweed left on the beach at low tide!

Pebble pattern and texture

About lines and textures

I was attracted by the contrasting textures of pebble, seaweed and sand,

and by the simple, abstract hieroglyph of a strand of seaweed.

Abstract 111

Is it a firework display?  Is it some strange weather phenomenon?  Is it the sky at night?

It is none of these.  It is an abstract image derived from the pattern and texture of a pebble found on the sea shore!

Pebble patterns and textures

This is the final selection of pebble images  –  at least, for the time being!

More pebble patterns and textures

This is the second group of three:

Pebble patterns and textures

Over the next week or so I intend to post probably three collections of pebble patterns.  All of the images were taken as I walked along a beach in East Sussex.  When I spotted a pebble that interested me I simply stood over it, pointed my camera down and clicked.  The pictures were obviously cropped later.  Nothing has been added or removed from the actual image.  I am constantly amazed by the beauty of the abstract patterns in natural objects that can so easily pass unnoticed.
