......Around the little headland that marks the western-most point of Le Hocq bay in Jersey is Green Island. This small bay derives its name from the grass-covered rock that sits a little way out, surrounded by water at high tide. All around the island are reminders of past inhabitants dating back to prehistoric times, and Green Island is no exception. This is an important archaeological site as 18 box-like graves (some still with human remains) were discovered on top of this mound dating back to neolithic times.

Patti, I find this to be so beautiful and excellent on the composition. I really like the natural lines in the sand and how it leads you into the image. I'm faving this one and what a excellent desktop this will make. sandi♥

truly a divine spot. the brick walkway is eye catching. the color of the sand and water is gorgeous. it must be rocky out in the water....hence the divers. boy, i'd love to go there. thanks for the great shot!

Heyyyy ... "curves" ... cool.
:oP
Just teasing Patti.
Wonderful natural colour. And of course, some great leading visual lines.
Well-balanced composition, and I particularly enjoy the varying textures. A strong element for me.
Well done.
And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Beautiful post with brilliant colors and contrasting lines to boot. That big blue sky is a big plus for me. Great job.

I was fascinated by your narrative, Patti, so I'm doing some more research on this.
Great shot and thanks for stimulating the grey matter!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
I love the lines in this beautiful beach capture. Like Randy I also like the brick vs the sand and textures. Great narrative with lots of interesting information too. Wonderful!

I'm so glad you shared this Patti. I've never seen a beach that looked like this. There's so much to behold at one time but it makes for a very pleasing post. Very interesting narrative also that I enjoyed reading. Beautiful composition.

Very nice photo Patti. I like the whole scene. Much to look at. Divers preparing to take a underwater look, tracks from ?? vehicles, an old brick roadway and that island. Great composition. I didn't forget the sky and water. They are just frosting on the cake.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
Elegant comp Patti, beautiful punchy colours and clarity of light. The contrasting textures in swoopy bands is delightful. Top shot.

"...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible." T.E. Lawrence.
I like the narrative - I wonder if the bodies were buried there when it was part of the 'mainland' or if they were deliberately buried on an island. I like the divers in this too - what an idyllic day for a scuba dive! Lovely shot Fogz, you really did stumble across view after view after view.

Yes also a lovely beach image. I did have a holliday in Bretagne/Normandie once, it does remind me a bit of that.
