Dinosaur Egg Beach

[bishopsmead]

No, not really...

Got a chance to spend a couple of hours at a tiny 'beach' near where I grew up in Cornwall UK.

It is locally known as Dinosaur Egg Beach because of the beautiful ovoid granite boulders. They come in all sizes from hen's egg to 2 metres across.

The boulders are not shaped by the action of the sea, but rather they were laid down in the cliff above the beach by glacial action in prehistoric times. A truly special place.

wonderful pictures I really liked the slow shutter speed

Anyhow, I have something similar I shot 2 weeks ago in the middle of the Judea desert so take a look at this gallery http://www.pbase.com/ilanphoto/desert
it's pictures 7 - 10 There are several theories of how "my" eggs were formed but they all have their problems

Hope you don't mind I posted this in your post - I will delete it if you so desire I just thought it could be a nice comparison

Slow shutter speed does give a good look to these.
