One of the 14th and 15th Century Winterton on Sea's church's big claims to fame is the impressive tower. At over 132 feet high it dominates the landscape and served as a lookout post during times of war. Some of the soldiers who spent cold and lonely nights up there left their marks etched into the lead roof.

SC211 - Post 23 August - Storytelling Part4: Emotion

The batsman is out, and is feeling totally dejected, as is his team - in this case Swardeston cricket club the home team. Whereas the bowler and the fielding team, (the visitors) are in celebratory mode.

You might just be able to spot the flying bails.

But what are they looking at?

James Turrell is widely acknowledged as one of the most important artists working today. From the mid 1960s onwards his principal concern has been the way we apprehend light and space.

One of Turrell's ‘Skyspaces’, is an enclosed viewing chamber that affects our perception of the sky, and James and Adrian are calmly watching clouds through the open space in the roof. See the PiP.

I found that sitting in this chamber to be mesmerising, and immensly calming. Very suitable for those wishing to meditate.

Actually this is a GROYNE. A groyne is an active structure extending from the shore into the sea, most often perpendicular or slightly oblique to the shoreline. The main function of a groyne is catching and trapping part of the sediment moving in a longshore direction in the surf zone. This groyne is catching flint pebbles and quite large pieces of flint in chalk. Some of the wood lower down is heavily weathered, and the construction bolts are very rusty.

Facing the sea means facing north. Here one can look at a scrubby putting green,in the sunshine sheltered for the cold north winds. But where is everyone?

SC134 - Post 16 February - Photographing in the style of your favorite artist.

My favourite artist is a poet called John Masefield. This poem, the second verse in particular, is called 'Sea Fever' inspires this photo.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

There's always something interesting to find on the beach too. PiP

I used to see a lot of these when we lived in Norway. A few of them were flitting about behind the dune slacks at the Horsey gap. This type of area is the preferred environment for these insects.

Auf Jakobs-Kreuzkraut (Senecio jacobaea). Die Pflanze enthält giftige Alkaloide und ist bei Farmern sehr unbeliebt, weil sie Rindern gefährlich werden kann, wenn die diese Pflanze fressen. Zyganea nimmt dieses Gift bereits im Raupenstadium auf und ist so, auch noch als Schmetterling, vor Fressfeinden geschützt. Super Foto!

Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) is a plant that contains poisonous alkaloids and is very unpopular with farmers because it can be dangerous to cattle if they eat it. Zyganea already absorbs this poison in the caterpillar stage and is thus protected from predators, even as a butterfly. great photo!

Sea gooseberry

SC104 An object out of place. Not an object but a living creature.

While walking at the edge of the sea at Horsey on the east coast of Norfolk we came across 100s if not 1000s of these little jelly 'blobs' left stranded on the shoreline by the ebbing tide. They are in fact a member of the group of zooplankton and are called Pleurobrachia pileus or sea gooseberries. As you can see each organism is small, but they were present in such large numbers that they were very noticeable.

They have most likely ended up on the beaches due to recent strong winds. They tend to be in high abundance at this time of year in any case due to the increased amount of phytoplankton and very small zooplankton plankton (their main food source) in surface water in the spring and summer, when the days get longer and the sun is higher in the sky. They can survive if they are returned to the sea quickly, but it would have been a mammoth task so to do.

They grow up to about 2.5cm long.
