My Corner of the World


Taken in 2008, we found red kelp/seaweed on the sand at Waverley Beach. Never saw it again.

Wow! Those are gorgeous rocks!

Tom said...

...I've never seen red either!

Very interesting event! Love the expansive perspective and composition of the image

Those caves look interesting. They must be filled with pirate treasure.

Sharon Wagner said...

Here in Florida, we get red tide too. But it's a bad thing. Since you're on the opposite side of the world, maybe its a good thing!

how wonderful and strange to walk on that beach. I wish I had been there. :)

It makes one wonder why so much seaweed should come ashore at one time. I saw it happen at Omokoroa once, with green sea lettuce, and the amount was phenomenal. The rock formation is very interesting in your photo. Thanks for hosting this link-up :)

Interesting seaweed, but it is the rock cliffs that caught my attention - great photo!

Suzana said...

What a strange place! I like it a lot. A little bit science fiction.
Happy WW and thank you for the linking!

italiafinlandia said...

Quite a view!
Thanks for sharing.

Sandee said...

What a great shot and I've not seen red kelp before. Also this shot makes us look so small next to mother nature.

Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Betty. ♥

Heidi R. said...

These cavities are really great to look at!

If I remember correctly, the red kelp is caused by a single cell algae but is not dangerous. I remember being in Newport, RI with my daughter and the beach and everyone was all excited about "the red tide" (red seaweed being washed ashore)...:)JP Happy Thanksgiving

I had no idea that red seaweed existed. It's a beautiful shade. :)

I've never seen red kelp. Lucky you to be in the right place at the right time. Love the arches!

A lovely photograph.
The seaweed is an unusual colour isn't it.

All the best Jan
