Hi all ๐ My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Brian of Bushboys World: Fragments.
On our last few visits to the coast, we’ve seen lots of fragments, small & large. Starting off with driftwood; washed up fragments of trees & even finished wood.
A closer look at the beach finds fragments of shells & other sea-life.
Shots of fragments of an object need to be viewed together to form a whole…
…a lobster pot.
Fragments of old coastal defences remind us of darker times when the world was at war.
A boat buried in the sand; the fragments we see shows us the whole picture.
…and finally, Fragments by Manic Street Preachers.
Fragments of part to come together as whole lobster pots – well done!
Thank you so much, Marlene ๐
This is a terrific series of photo responses to the fragments challenge!! Nice one Jez!
Thank you very much, Anne ๐
Great fun ๐
Excellent. Among my faves are netting and ‘she sells seashells by the seashore’. ๐
Thanks, John ๐
Nicely done Jez – it seems we were on the same page this week. We very rarely get driftwood on our beach, probably because we are a barrier island, so I especially enjoyed yours. Also the images and thoughts about thing left behind from times of war – again not something we have here but you are so right, we are fortunate to live in time of peace. Terrific post.
Thank you very much, Tina ๐
A great collection of seaside stuff Jez. That boat in the sand looks so unreal. I like the shell and the sea worn ropes ๐
PS Good music too ๐
Cheerz, buddy ๐
Driftwood’s such exquisite art. Beautiful findings. In fact it seemed as if your walk gifted you a museum on the beach. Natural art, cultural art, history. Vey nice Jez.
Thank you very much; there’s a lot more driftwood out there to be discovered as well ๐
True, true art. You are welcome.
Such a colourful diverse and incredible collection, a link between past and present, โฆwonder whatโll be collected in future beach combs ..โฆโจ
Thank you ๐
