Crail Harbour Rocks
One of my first photos on the Shen Hao camera, taken round at Crail harbour in Fife.
I placed myself right on the water’s edge, looking down as the tide came in and superimposed 3 exposures on the one frame to give the effect of water lapping around the rocks like mist.
I think the red rock is carboniferous sandstone.

Lovely!
I live in Fife… have you visited the coastline at Kinghorn? I think you’d like it… amazing weird ‘alien’ rock formations, many fossils (crinoids mostly)... great for beachcombing.
I’m a volunteer at the Eco Centre there, inland beside Kinghorn Loch.
Maybe we’ll meet up some day?

Thanks :)
Actually I don’t think I’ve been there just yet although I have driven past it a few times – sounds cool, will have to give it a blast. Be on the lookout for a mad one of me passing by, by all means :)

PigleT, is it Crail that has an amazing petrified treestump (complete with radiating roots) on a shingle beach? I would like to see it again. It really deserves to be known as noteworthy. I saw it with my Dad years ago but am not sure if it was at Crail or another of Fife’s coastal villages. Your mention of Carboniferous sandstone tied in: carboniferous meaning carbon-bearing eg coal eg compressed vegetal remains (Fife’s mining heritage there, of course), and in my childhood we have found lengths of fossil tree trunks embedded in a quarry elsewhere in Fife.
My wife Bev and I still have a section in our lounge, half-brick-sized.
