I shot this on my trip to Southern Sweden. On Hovs Hallar, as this beach is called, there are vast amounts of rock piles standing all year around.

The form of the coastline around Durdle Door is controlled by its geology--both by the contrasting hardnesses of the rocks, and by the local patterns of faults and folds.The arch has formed on a concordant coastline where bands of rock run parallel to the shoreline. The rock strata are almost vertical, and the bands of rock are quite narrow. Originally a band of resistant Portland limestone ran along the shore, the same band that appears one mile along the coast forming the narrow entrance to Lulworth Cove. Behind this is a 120-metre (390 ft) band of weaker, easily eroded rocks, and behind this is a stronger and much thicker band of chalk, which forms the Purbeck Hills. These steeply dipping rocks are part of the geological structure known as the Lulworth crumple, itself part of a broader monocline (a kinked type of geological fold) produced by the building of the Alps during the mid-Cenozoic.

Pebbles stacked like hanoi towers on a beach on Leman lake, Amphion, France.

I really enjoyed such diversity of shape and colors, the evening light was just awesome.

Pebble beaches are definitely better than sand!

Although I absolutely love my trusty Canon 17-40mm f4L lens, I finally decided to upgrade to a 16-35mm f4L. What better way to test it than a weekend at the coast with the family! This is hands down one of the best sunsets I've seen at the Oregon Coast.

Shot with a Sony A7R, and of course a Canon 16-35mm f4L IS. Also using a Manfrotto Tripod and a fotodiox lens adapter.

Sea foam accumulation at my local wetlands taken just before twilight. This was the first test shot with my newly acquired D700. Taken on a tripod with a 3-stop GND filter.

Another image from Alki Beach in West Seattle. This was the first sunset of 2013 - and it was a good one.
