A few of weeks ago I posted a couple of pictures of the lobster pots stacked on the quayside at Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast and then last weekend at New Quay on the Welsh Coast I found some more stacks of pots which are a reminder that although the town is a popular spot for visitors it is also a working harbour and part of the community depends upon these pots for their livelihood.
I do think that the stacks make interesting photographic subjects, I like the order, the patterns and the perspective and although some of the pots have coloured tags I think they look more interesting in black and white.
In stark contrast to the bright colours of my posts of the past two days I have gone for these black and white images showing off the geology of Wales' Cardigan Bay coastal cliffs.
Seen from a boat in the bay it is possible to see the many different layers that form the cliffs and the undulating patterns which clearly show the upheaval over time. The different layers provide excellent nesting sites for the Guillemots and Kittiwakes that have made their temporary homes here facing out to sea. On a day like this when the sun was shining and there was hardly any breeze t doesn't seem like too bad a spot but when the wind and rain lashes in off the Irish Sea I am sure it is a lot more challenging spot to raise a family.
