A few groups of people were respectfully enjoying the cozy beach at MacNeil’s Brook around 8pm. I had come to take photos of the MacKenzies Brook sea arch and as usual found many other interesting subjects.
The trees of MacNeil’s Brook
Across the road from the rest stop and car park is a line of trees and woods fronted by some trees which evidently receive the brunt of the wind and salt coming off the water.
"Windbreaker"
“Shelter”
Evidence of the eroding cliffs
The shurbs growing along the edge of the cliff top precariously dangle over the eroding soft red rock supporting them.
“Lost footings"
Several plants lie a the foot of the cliff having recently lost their footings.
“Faces of erosion”
The sunlight highlights the faces in the eroding cliffs. These will change overtime as pieces of the cliff fall away.
The MacKenzies Brook Sea Arch
The MacKenzies Brook sea arch is a short drive east from MacNeil's Brook and is clearly visible, sticking out like a little finger
"Little finger"
"Another day"
Little by little the structure around the arch is whittled away by waves. Eventually the arch will collapse forming a sea stack. In time the stack will also be whittled away until it too collapses.
Sunset on the MacNeil’s Brook beach
The sky was almost completely clear with only a few wisps of cloud playing with the sun's light. Its light blue tinged was tinged a slight green before being plunged into rich oranges and reds as it fell below the horizon.
