A few days ago we had some wild and woolly weather – very strong winds pushing the high tides further up the beach than usual – right at the time I like to hit the beach early in the morning- top photo.   A couple of days later, the same place looked quite different, and regular readers who’ve been following my beach photos will recognise a place from where I have taken previous pics – you can scroll back through late january and february to see some.    One morning I was there right at high tide, and the beach was almost impassable in places – I found myself trekking through the marram grass at the foot of sand ‘cliffs’ where it hung by ezxposed roots. suspended and swaying in the wind following erosion of its supporting dune.

This sand 'cliff' was build by wind and wave action, and however long ago that was this plastic was captured - soon to be released and sent on it's way as the continual process launches some more onslaughts to this part.

Following are a few other pics of my interest in the ongoing the effects of erosion and deposition so wonderfully presented every day in the profiles and textures on the local beach. 

This small dune was deposited probably by wind that caught this little heap of rubbish, which is once again exposed to the elements and about to be moved on - moving through the environment, sometimes stopping, then starting again some time later... who knows where it will end up - and because it is made of largely non-bidegradable material, it has a long way to go and all the time in the world to get there.

And finally, humourous but pretty awful, too in that it is dangerous: – and at the time of writing, still perched precariously at the top of the beach.  This hut/unit had been supported on timber beams but was seriously undermined in the bad weather and personally, I now give it a wide berth as it could topple any time.  But the humour comes on the awning of the nearby kiosk showing above it, in english remarkably – “Leave an Impression’  !!!
