Long Beach in the Fog

Today, we drove up the Pac Rim highway to the Incinerator Rock parking lot, which is at the north end of Long Beach. It is a steel-grey sky with fog which varies in density over the duration of our visit, tiptoeing in and out to obscure then tempt.

The softness of the lighting is ideal for photography, bringing out both form and colour. The back of the beach here is well back and the sand expanse between it and the high-tide water is considerable, and well littered with detritus.

 

 

 

 

 

Today, we see the little shorebirds that dart around on long, stiff legs, following the wave out, probing the sand with their long bills, then excitedly rushing up the beach as the next wave hurls itself up the beach at them.

 

Just before we headed home, we rounded the headland to the north which leads to the beach in front of the Community of Esowista.

 

Another beach to explore another day...
