St. Bees beach, Cumbria today.
A nice relaxing sound of the sea washing back & forth over the pebbles. Take a moment or two 😌

An edition of this #StBees #linocut print has gone off to St Bees this week as an anniversary gift. It’s brought back lots of fond memories of a research trip in May a few years ago.

Low tide on beautiful day at St.Bees beach, Cumbria yesterday. Tracey and the dogs are in the distance.
#stbees #cumbria #coastal #nature #spring #photography #eastcoastkin
A coastal view on a sunny and bright May day at low tide on St.Bees beach, St.Bees, Cumbria, England. The scene shows a low-tide expanse featuring sandy patches, numerous rocks covered in green algae, and a large shallow pool of water with submerged rocks. Green algae or seaweed is visible on many of the rocks throughout the shallow water. The beach has distinctive rippled sand and some is covered in shallow water left behind by the receding tide. The sun is shining brightly, creating reflections on the wet sand and in the shallow water. The blue sky stretches to the distant horizon and has a covering of light white clouds. The environment is calm and serene, with a distant figure walking two dogs.

A coastal view on a sunny and bright December late afternoon at low tide on St.Bees beach, St.Bees, Cumbria, England. In the foreground a pebble beach slopes gently down to a wet sandy beach exposed by the low tide. The remains of wooden groynes at either end of the picture seem to enclose the pebble beach. In the background is the calm Irish Sea. The pale yellow low winter sun is shining brightly on the horizon, creating reflections on the wet sand and in the shallow water. The blue sky has light, wispy clouds and contrails.

A coastal view on a sunny and bright December late afternoon at low tide on St.Bees beach, St.Bees, Cumbria, England. In the foreground is part of a small reef created by honeycomb worms (Sabellaria alveolata). The reef is exposed with the tide just starting to come in again. There are also a few large rocks and seaweed next to the reef. The beach has distinctive rippled sand and some is covered in shallow water left behind by the receding tide. In the background is the calm Irish Sea. The low winter sun is shining brightly, creating reflections on the wet sand and in the shallow water. The sky has light, wispy clouds and contrails. The structure in the image is a reef created by honeycomb worms (Sabellaria alveolata). Each worm builds a protective tube using sand and shell fragments, and these individual tubes aggregate to form the characteristic honeycomb-like mounds or reefs. These biogenic reefs provide a habitat for a variety of other marine species, including anemones, snails, crabs, and seaweeds, similar to how coral reefs function in tropical waters. The worms are filter feeders, extending a plume-like fan from their tubes to catch microscopic food particles floating in the seawater. Honeycomb worm reefs are commonly found intertidally (in the area exposed at low tide) in exposed areas, particularly on the south and west coasts of the UK.

A coastal view at low tide on a sunny and bright December afternoon at St.Bees beach, St.Bees, Cumbria, England. It features a long stretch of sand and pebbles bordered by the dramatic red sandstone cliffs of St Bees Head. The beach in the foreground has distinctive rippled sand and behind this are many rocks in shallow water. Behind this the beach continues into the distance with the red sandstone sea cliffs above it. The blue sky has light, wispy clouds and contrails. It serves as the starting point for the famous 190-mile Wainwright's "Coast to Coast" Walk across England.

A coastal view on a sunny and bright May day at low tide by St.Bees beach, St.Bees, Cumbria, England. In the foreground the grass is covered with an abundance of clusters of small pink cushion like flowers. These are Sea thrift (Armeria maritima) To the right of this is a pebble and shingle beach which slopes down to an expanse of sand as it heads towards the distant blue Irish Sea on the horizon. There are rows of weathered wooden posts running down the shingle beach onto the sand - all that remains of wooden groynes. The purpose of groynes is to help manage coastal erosion. In the background are cliffs running down to the beach - their face covered in brown vegetation and the tops in grass. The bright blue sky has light, wispy clouds. In the far distance on the left is the outline of Black Combe, the most southerly of the Lake District Fells.

A coastal view at low tide on a sunny and bright April day at St.Bees beach, St.Bees, Cumbria, England. It features a long stretch of sand bordered by the dramatic red sandstone cliffs of St Bees Head. Inland from the cliff edge there are fields of yellow oilseed rape which alternate with green fields, providing a nice splash of colour. The beach in the foreground has lightly rippled sand and behind this is a small rockpool of shallow water and large stones left behind by the receding tide. Behind this the beach continues into the distance with the red sandstone sea cliffs above it. In the distance on the left is a glimpse of the bright blue sea with white waves at the waters edge. The bright blue sky has light, wispy clouds. It serves as the starting point for the famous 190-mile Wainwright's "Coast to Coast" Walk across England.

Picture of a beach at low tide on a sunny winters day. The beach is sandy with some of it covered by very shallow water. In the foreground are a line of 5 wooden posts - all that remains of a wooden groyne. On top of the last post is a groyne marker - a metal pole painted green and with some of it rusted, with a green triangle on top of it. There are a few pebbles around the posts. In the background is a headland composed of red sandstone whose cliffs run down to the beach - their face covered in brown vegetation and the tops in grass. The sky is blue with no clouds.
