Drftwood Beach

Though the local name for this place is "Driftwood Beach", it is a misnomer. It would be more accurately named, "Deadwood Beach" as the trees and limbs lived their lives right where they lie as skeletal remains. Beach erosion, strong winds and storms have eaten away at what was once dry land away from the ocean.

You have such a beautiful sense of harmony in your photographs. There is never a feeling of unbalance, either compositionally or tonally. Everything always appears to be perfectly content within the square.
 
Thank you, Ken. There must be some element of my musical training that creeps into my photographs.
 
very good
 
Thanks, dubrathd6. I should have noted the use of a polarizer that helped make the clouds stand out. It was afternoon, and the sun was in the western sky, so this easterly view responded dramatically to the polarizer.
 
Wonderful photograph -- and I just reviewed many others in your portfolio: you have much to be proud of. I am curious to know what a "P67" camera is -- and why, if it is a 6X7 camera, you often print as a square?
 
Thank you, Bruce and Trask. The P67 is the classic medium format Pentax camera invariably described as a 35mm camera on steroids. As to relative squareness, I bear no allegiance to any given aspect ratio. I crop to whatever rectangle best suits the image. This, btw, is not quite square.
 
Of course it's the Pentax -- should have thought of that one. Thank you.
