What an interesting way to build a wall! Great picture!

@Boots apparently its a cost effective way to build a very strong wall as its only a single brick thick and given those standing here are still around it is obviously true. I was told that they are more often seen in East Anglia as the Dutch engineers introduced it when they came over here to drain the Fens.
Thank you very much for the comments folks.

That's a lovely shot in nice but tricky light Helen. The wavy wall is just great.

Don't see many brick fences where I am, I always find them interesting.

@Nod one of the benefits of living in a rural area... we don't seem to get the litter problem!
Thanks for the kind comments and for dropping by.

I'm utilising a shot from a photography scavenger hunt I joined with on Sunday. The skies on the coast were very heavy

That's a great picture, the colours suit the heavy feeling of the picture too. I might have been tempted to edit out the bird in the sky but that's just me. I also like how you positioned the boat off to one side too.

That's a very heavy looking Sky, the boat adds scale.

A stunning shot Helen. Beautiful lighting complemented by great processing. Love this.

Thats a lovely shot, and nicely composed. I didn't see the bird @Simonbrown16 mentioned until I went back an had another look, but on the same point I might have cloned out or cropped out the ?post? on the far right. That very minor point aside it's a cracking shot and captures the theme brilliantly.

Terrific shot Helen. That heavy sky is really foreboding and the colours and composition are spot on.

My only criticism is that the right side is very slightly heavier than the left.
Thanks for the great comments folks. I have to say it is a little over processed to create the heaviness (for me anyway... ).

Looking at the forecast, today was going to be the last day this week with some light on any subject. I popped over to the coast and rather liked the sunlight on the wet shingle.

My comment was because the right side is marginally lower than the left. (I have problems with horizons, even using levels.)

Nice take Helen, so many different interpretations for this weeks theme and this one is unique(so far).

I like that Helen. The light is just right and I love the low angle.

Alley - it's a really interesting wall and would have took considerably longer to build than a conventional one. Nice pockets of light being generated in the curves.
Heavy - It's a great image, simple composition. Though I reckon a judge might say there is too much sky, but you have good leading lines
Light - Nice foreground detail that is being kept in check by the mid ground, lots to see and investigate in the image

Super shingle shot Helen
@Bebop no wet feet when taking the shots... but later on, while trying to review the images through the viewfinder as the light was so bright on the screen, I got caught be a rogue wave!
Thanks for the kind comments guys. Much appreciated.
