Geology Pictures of the Week, July 19-25, 2009: Striking Serene Seashores
Various

Posted on 07/22/2009 3:49:16 PM PDT by cogitator

Just some striking and serene seashore shots.

Bow Fiddle Rock, Scotland

The rest of these were taken from Cave Rock on Sumner Beach, Christchurch, New Zealand. The last one shows what Cave Rock looks like; it's a Panoramio picture, so click for full-size.

KEYWORDS: coast; rock; shore; waves
I was trying to capture the mood of "I'd just like to sit here and look out at the ocean for awhile."

They almost don't look real. Have you seen some of the graphics coming out of some of these landscape programs. I been learning how to make some of these pics they are amazing:

The images don’t load.

The site may not permit external links?

You succeded quite well. I'm fortunate enough to live 5 minutes from the ocean, and like to spend every minute I can by the water. It's a beautiful area, but I can never get enough of being by the sea. Thanks for the ping!

I believe that Steve can see them because he has the image in his cache from visiting the site. Those without the cache image will not see them.

I went to the link, not sure which are his, but for fake landscapes, that’s pretty damn cool!
