Another day, another beach walk. Further along than my usual walk, towards the rocky area and small cave, before the incoming tide covers the sandy beach and lashes those rocks. My other half was formerly a palaeontologist and studied geology and environmental science. This means a walk near any rock formation along the beach, is a stop start to collect fossils and washed up debris and have a lesson in what kind of rock formation and folds etc the rocky area of Ramsey comprises of, igneous, volcanic, words of the day, and echinoid fossils collected. Always amazing what gets washed up these beaches, sometimes not a a fossil find, but a much younger bicycle tyre. Further reading on not just Ramsey, but the Isle of Man, see Manx Geological Survey

Wonderful colors and textures in your photo!
Happy Week to you,
artmusedog and carol
lovely hun.
A pretty shot!
It's nice to have somebody along who has an eye for things.
My other half is a geology fan. I love rocks, but mostly for how they look. - Margy
Pretty photo!
I do love walking along beaches. Your water photo reminds me of my childhood when I walked beaches along the Atlantic coast. Walking along the beaches of the Great Lakes is a bit different but still delightful.
It must be so interesting to have your other half explain your beach walks like that. My wife doesn't like me stopping to point out, look at and explain birds to her, she'd rather just walk!
I'm jealous!
Great shot.
