A slow stroll on a pebbled beach.

What a productive stroll Julian. Love the tones and colours but it is the content that is most appealing as it works on several levels from the purely aesthetic to the comment on pollution from plastics. Fabulous stuff again.

Thanks Pete . Mostly this type of rubbish comes from boats rather than people on the beach. A shame really but inevitable as somehow they believe it is ok and will magically disappear. I did though try for the aesthetics rather than making a statement about rubbish, yet that statement is probably inevitable, to some stent and not such a bad thing.

Great stuff Julian. Whether you intended to or not, the pictures make loud statements and it is hard not to think that further out to sea all this crap gathers and ends up in the bellies of sea birds etc.
Lovely array of colour and texture in the stones and the final one with the weed is not without a beauty of its own.

Very nice, as per. I've just seen a video a photographer made from one island, 200 miles from human habitation, where many of the birds are dying. When the bodies rot away, they reveal coke caps, and all sorts of plastic crap that we throw away. Many are dying soon after giving birth, which means their offspring don't last either. Really shocking. What a species we are! What a virus we are!

nice combo of nature and trash. funny how most people would associate the red of a coke bottle cap with a man made dye, but it matches the seaweed perfectly.

Thank you Tom comments very much appreciated.

Thanks Rob. Yep , but it is not only the visible pollution the sea is often so toxic in certain areas that fishermen are not allowed to sell there shell fish catches as they contain far to a high toxic level for human consumption.

Thanks Beth, had not thought of that correlation.
