Basalt Outcropping Cape Hedge Beach

Beaches seem to present an infinite variety of subjects for photographs: stones (preferably wet), sand, water, waves, skies, fragments of seaweed, water patterns in the sand, sea foam, and, of course sunsets! At Cape Hedge I never seem to become tired of the subjects put before me. Every day is different. Every turn of the head reveals something new.

As I have said here is the Avalonian terrain and your mind is immediately carried to “The Mists of Avalaon” by the abundant sea foam. The igneous rocks, of course, come in varied form, both plutonic and volcanic. And there are also metamorphic forms to delight.

Figure 1 shows a prominent outcropping of basalt. Here made all the more beautiful by water.

“I have called on the Goddess and found her within myself”
