arches at Back Beach

This is one of my favorite photos that I took many years ago of Hubby on Back Beach.


It was taken on a rather gray day through one of the arches below.

I was fortunate to get that shot because it was just a few years later that the water and weather took a toll on the clay that made up the cliffs and arches.

It's a good thing to not procrastinate.

Great series of photos showing the erosion..

Many are the photos I have missed because of procrastination - sometimes the light is perfect, but it has changed ten minutes later when I am ready to take the photo. Now I am learning to just grab the camera and click, then if conditions stay right I can go back and take more photos.

That first photo is woderful. The misty atmosphere, the stormy sea, the wet sand. Hard to imagine that the arch has gone. Keep taking photos!!

That is a great perspective for that first shot...it is too bad the arches are gone. They would be interesting to see.

The wind and waves can taken their toll on a coastline in dramatic ways, so as you point out it is wise not to procrastinate. Stay well through this awful COVID-19 Virus.

The photos are beautiful It is such a pity that the arches couldn't withstand nature.
Where I live (Southwest England) The many storms this winter have caused a lot more than usual large cliff falls.

Nature provides us with many important lessons and insights if we only stopped long enough to observe and reflect.
