This post is for the #wednesdaywalk challenge and the #makemesmile challenge collaboration. This collaboration initially took place once a month, but due to its popularity, @tattoodjay (of the #wednesdaywalk) and @elizacheng (of #makemesmile) decided to make it a weekly thing.
If you want to know more about the rules, visit the Wednesday Walk Community, started by @tattoodjay. You will find all the rules there if you want to start posting in this great community.
In my last two posts, I shared photos I took during an early morning walk on the beach in Amanzimtoti.
If you haven't read them yet and you would like to see those photos, you can find them here:
As promised, this week I want to focus on some rocky scenes from that walk.
A True Adventure with Camera in-Hand
Amanzimtoti is situated on the stunning East Coast of Kwazulu Natal. And in my opinion, the rocky scenes you can find on the beach in Amanzimtoti, are pieces of art created by nature. They can turn an ordinary beach visit into an extraordinary adventure.
You can ask any local from the Durban area, and they will be familiar with the rocky features of the beach in Amanzimtoti. If not...? Well, that will blow my mind...lol.
But if you are a local tourist from South Africa, or an international traveller exploring the South African coastlines, this beach should be on your "must-visit" list.
Where the Ocean Meets the African Continent.
Years of erosion have sculpted these rock into shapes and formations that look like it has been designed this way to welcome the waves from the ocean to the beach.
Sometimes it even looks as if it deliberately forms channels, leading and guiding the water from the ocean to the beach.
These wet rocks appear to be black, as they have just been covered with sea water just a few seconds ago...
But look what happens next...
A nice wave is building up from behind the big rock in the centre of the photo...
But then it looks like the build up tends to be more to the right and as if the biggest part of the wave will pass the rock on the far side...
But then, while the bigger wave is breaking on the other side of the rock, a smaller wave, driven by a strong current, sneaks up on the rock...
I think you all know by now...I'm crazy about nice splashes when the waves hit the rocks or when two currents meet. If I don't see at least one big splash, it feels as if I haven't really been to the beach...lol.
So, here it comes...
Even though the wave didn't appear to be that big, it was driven by a strong current.
Look at that nice splash!
I had a ball of a time and took more than three hundred photos during this walk just in this area alone...lol!
I am planning different series with different themes that I want to start working on shortly. So you will see many of those photos in the near future.
For now, this is where we will come to the end of today's post.
Thank you reading my post! I do appreciate it!
