We were up at the Estuary late afternoon, and Sam took these excellent photos on his phone camera (electronic devices can be useful, now and then).
You can see that recent storms have lowered the river bed by some six or seven feet – and unearthed a slumbering giant, hidden for as long as I can remember.
But maybe, after all, it was cast up on the king tide.
By mid-December it will have vanished.
like me the sea creature
from who knows where
dreaming of summer
Remarkable — I wonder if you can make something out of this big piece — a celebration of sorts. . .
Thanks Geoff. Perhaps ‘in situ’….!
It’s like a creature from the past, seeing sunlight for the first time in years… guess it’s pretty waterlogged. Can you tell ? It’s wonderful to see its twisted growth pattern from decades of living somewhere inland … what a fine old guardian!
Thanks Lucy. Thoroughly water-logged! Probably half silica, half wood by now…..
