An Evening Walk



Looking across the bay....it was very peaceful.




And the sweep of the beach.




On the beach there are some small springs of fresh water 
bubbling up from a tidal well almost half a mile away.
The well is quite remarkable - the flow of water from
 the underground springs is affected by subterranean
 passages containing fissures which act like valves. 
These passages connect with the beach, where
 the fresh water bubbles out freely at low tide.
 As the tide comes back in, it increases 
the pressure in the fissures and the well fills
 back up again.





That piece of tree certainly wasn't there yesterday!




Big Foot. No, it wasn't one of us!




And deep sandy footprints filling up with water.

Wonderful photos that made me think I was walking with you. I so love the beach and this looks such a marvellous one. Love the big footprints too - do you have giants living your way?
