  2. Last Light at Ballycotton

    The three of them had the pier to themselves, rods out over water that had gone completely flat. I was there with Blarney Photography Club, and sunset is always an attraction there. It had already happened somewhere behind the headland, leaving a band of yellow along the horizon and nothing else lit. Not one of them turned to look at it. They watched the water instead, which is important if you have come to catch something.

  3. On the extensive sand dunes of the North Gare, south of Seaton Carew and near where the River Tees meets the North Sea.
    If you like big landscapes with big skies, this is a place worth visiting, especially at low tide.
    This area is part of the Teesmouth National Nature Reserve and it is Co Durham's most southerly stretch of coast.
    The impressive dunes hereabouts owe their existence to marram grass, sometimes called 'beachgrass'.
    Without this plant's important stabilising influence, the huge banks of sand would be at the mercy of the wind and waves.
    The root systems bind loose sand together, trapping windblown sand and creating sheltered habitats for other plants and wildlife.

  4. "#Agricultural runoff provides perfect nutrients for #methanogen growth.

    #Fertilizer and animal waste washing into ocean systems creates nutrient-rich zones where these methanogens thrive like never before. #Nitrogen and #phosphorus pollution from farmland creates ideal conditions for explosive #microbial growth in #coastal waters and #DeepOcean areas. These agricultural inputs essentially act as fertilizer for #methane-producing microbes, creating a connection between #IndustrialFarming and atmospheric #GreenhouseGas levels that scientists never fully appreciated.

    "Coastal regions near major agricultural areas show the highest concentrations of these supercharged methanogens, with some areas recording methane production levels ten times higher than baseline measurements. The problem compounds itself because areas with intensive farming also tend to have the strongest ocean currents, meaning these fertilized methanogen populations get distributed globally. Every season’s #AgriculturalRunoff creates new opportunities for these microbes to establish thriving colonies in previously stable ocean environments."

  5. One of my fave isolated #beaches to have a fire & hang out, watching the #ocean 😊 I love rock hunting here too. I've found lots of interesting rocks here before.
    It's a 45 minute drive from our home to get to this spot. I saw no one else there, on my last visit.

  7. I had a fantastic sail adventure today. Took my friend, Nadene, out for her first Martin 16 sailing experience. She loved it & took a ton of photos. We had fab winds on the waters today & I got to do a lot of keeling 😀 Fun time, on the ocean, on a gorgeous day!

  8. It was really foggy out on the ocean today!
    Almost no winds until we reached mouth of the bay. I was happy to take Mom out for her very first sailing experience ☺️ She found it to be very relaxing. We saw some seals, mergansers, few American coots & a couple of buffleheads.
