what IS that thing sticking up out of the water? And why is it there? That just seems very ... odd!

This is a heavy fishing traffic location (pardon the syntax) and also very old, from the year 953. It's probably both nautical and religious.(:

From 953??? Holy cow, it's still there after that long, in THOSE elements? How come we're not making shit out of whatever THAT'S made of???

I confess, I saw that sticking up out of the sand and the first thing that came to mind was a picture of me, tripping over it...it looks like one of those things the Universe just pops up out of nowhere for the sole purpose of watching me do something dumb...

I want to know more; now I'm gonna look it up. Where is this?

That thing is huge, baby! You couldn't trip over it unless you were a 20 feet tall giant. Here's some history for you: [link]

Oh, you'd be surprised...I've walked into walls...with WARNINGS! Hey, Kari watchout for that ... SPLAT! To be fair, it's usually 'cause I was walking-while-laughing...a bad habit, to be sure.

Thanks for the clickie! It looks BEAUTIFUL! I'm going to have to add it to my list. Especially the old churches. Don't care much for religions, but there's no denying magic in churches...

I like long exposure pix and this is good, I wonder if it would be even stronger if it didn't include the sand. Try a crop and see what you think for yourself.

ahah believe me or not, I did that just a few minutes ago! I do prefer it without the sand.
What I need to do is go to the location again and shoot it with a 10-20 or a 17-50mm from the sand. The rain and strong wind didn't allow me to go to the sand as I had a meeting one hour later and couldn't afford the mess. Thank you!
