  1. The Tide Coming In at Youghal

    A line of old groyne posts runs out into the sea at Youghal, the nearest ones capped in green weed, the far ones worn down to stubs. I used a long exposure to smooth the incoming water into streaks across the brown sand. The evening was flat and quiet, the sky a soft blu...

  5. The Tide Coming In at Youghal

    A line of old groyne posts runs out into the sea at Youghal, the nearest ones capped in green weed, the far ones worn down to stubs. I used a long exposure to smooth the incoming water into streaks across the brown sand. The evening was flat and quiet, the sky a soft blue turning to yellow as the sun set. The posts have been here long enough that the sea has taken most of them.

  9. Youghal’s Wooden Sentinels

    Groynes in the sand as the water rushes away to do battle with another wave coming in. The ever-present push and pull of the tide, defeated for some time at least by these wooden posts....

  17. A Sentinel at Sunset

    A groyne standing upright by the seashore near Youghal.

    The wooden post in this photograph is part of Youghal’s coastal defence system called groynes. They are structures built perpendicular to the shore to prevent beach erosion by trapping sand moved by longshore drift. These timber groynes at Youghal are regularly maintained and replaced as part of ongoing coastal management efforts by Cork County Council. The long exposure technique used in this photograph typically requires exposure times of 30 seconds to several minutes, using neutral density filters to reduce the amount of light entering the camera, which creates the smooth, ethereal water effect by averaging out the motion of waves over time.

  20. Commissioned in 1898, HNoMS Harald Haarfagre was a Norwegian coastal defence ship. After the German invasion of Norway, she was seized by the Germans and rebuilt as a floating flak battery under the name Thetis. After the war Harald Haarfagre was used briefly as a floating barracks, and for transporting German POWs, before she was sold for scrapping in 1948. destinationsjourney.com/histor #HNoMSHaraldHaarfagre #RoyalNorwegianNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory #CoastalDefenceShip #CoastalDefence

  22. HNoMS Tordenskjold, was a Norwegian coastal defence ship. Considered unfit for war in the mid-1930s. After the German invasion of Norway, she was seized by the Germans and rebuilt as a floating flak battery with 10.5 cm AA guns and renamed Nymphe. destinationsjourney.com/histor #NavalHistory #HNoMSTordenskjold #CoastalDefence #CoastalDefenceShip #Warship #WW2 #RoyalNorwegianNavy #Nymph #FlakShip

  24. Battery Construction 129 on a foggy San Francisco day. Feels very surreal and eerie. This is at the top of Hill 129, now known as #hawkhill, in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area #ggnra It’s a WWII #coastaldefence battery that was never completed. And fortunately, never needed.

  25. CW: Climate change coastal defences

    Hard sea defences on sand dunes at Kilgorman Beach, North Wexford, Ireland, protecting a small number of mobile homes. They may provide protection to property but negatively disturb the natural environment and reduce beach access to the general public at times when seas are high. An ordered retreat rather than this carbon intensive and ultimately futile intervention would be preferable. #ClimateChange #CoastalErosion #CoastalDefence
