With the magnificent sunsets we have been having here it’s easy to overlook many of the other beautiful aspect of the beach.

When I first noticed this stream of water flowing out to sea I thought it must be the outfall of a drain but on closer inspection I could not locate the source. Anyway I set up the camera inches above the sand for the shot and moments later before I was even ready a large set of waves came in an swept through where my camera have been moments before I plucked it to safety. I should have noticed the way the sand textures on either side showed evidence of water flowing in the opposite direction.

So that’s where the water came from!
