Groynes on the Beach - SMASh 215

in #hive-1790172 years ago

I took a series of photos of this Wooden Groyne on Camber Sands beach in East Sussex for the #shadowhunters contest organised by @melinda010100 and her team.

Can you guess the time from the angle of the shadow?

These barriers are in place to reduce coastal erosion by the waves.

They have been in use for many centuries and still do a great job in slowing down erosion.

As you can see below these structures are quite massive when you see the size of the people in the shot.

It was a glorious sunny day and nice to be beside the seaside again.

Hi @teamuk I've updated the post. Thanks 👍

That is pretty neat. I like their shapes.

Thanks Jacey, there is a certain symmetry to these fuctional groynes.
I suppose it's the quintessential beach image. Just about every photographer has a few of these in their portfolio I would imagine? 😊👍📽

Maybe it IS the quintessential beach imagine, but it is one that for some reason, you just never get tired of seeing.

Agreed it's a bit like sunsets and sunrises both are always nice to see. 👍

Oh I would love to be there going up and down that beach with a metal detector! I just know there are some good finds to be had there!

Hi Paul, I went to the beach to fly the drone but it was to windy.
You are right about the metal detector. You'd have a field day here. It's a very popular beach further along the promenade. Loads of stuff goes missing lol.

Very nice photos and shadows collection! Thanks for your participation in the Shadow hunters contest! 👏 😎

Thanks for popping in and leaving your comment 👍

Okay! Tell me what time it really is! :) Thanks @molometer

3:19 p.m. precisely lol. I told you that you were close with 2.00 PM 😂😂👍

Thank you!! I knew I was close, but I'm losing my edge! I thought I would be closer! Next time! :))

Well done Denise, dang close if you ask me. You're not losing your edge at all 😘👍

Great shadow photos! 10am? It's too bad everyone didn't have the foresight to install them centuries ago. Thanks for entering the shadow contest! Enjoy your holiday! ♥️

Oooow you are close'ish Mel but no banana.
Clue. The view is looking east.

We've had those wooden groynes in Britain for many years. These days they are mostly made from granite blocks like in the photo below.
