Texture, shape and form on Southerndown beach

Southerndown, is a village in South Wales mostly known for its beach (officially named Duncockraen bay), which is a popular tourist destination during the summer months and since 1972 designated a Heritage Coast. When the tide is out there is an expanse of sand and pools. The cliffs are an example of sedimentary rock. It has been used in the occasional UK Television production, including Doctor Who and Merlin. (Source: Wikipedia)

I ventured down there to photograph the area in an abstract format, specifically looking for interesting textures and shapes. When I arrived the weather and light were poor, and stayed that way until I left. Images were shot on a Canon 5D MK2 with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.

    Cheers Lee. I can’t take all the credit – I’ve got a few billion years of geological diagenesis to thank for it to, although who exactly to thank is yet still a mystery :-S
