If the tides last week (one was a 10m+) havn't demolished your 'tower' then they stand for quite some time before the next 'high' ones and it is now obvious a strong wind is also required to coincide with these tides to do any damage to your work. I'll be at Cockersands in the coming days and will report back to you if you don't beat me to it.<BR/><BR/>Good to hear from you again Richard.....Thanks.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Pete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-80351929823456529242009-02-12T09:17:00.000+00:002009-02-12T09:17:00.000+00:00Hi Pete,Part of my original plan was to film the c...Hi Pete,<BR/><BR/>Part of my original plan was to film the cairn being submerged, then maybe being destroyed or emerging from the water. But I neglected to think whether the water would actually reach that spot. I filmed the cairn during the next high tide but the water didn't get anywhere near it! But part of the my point of my art is to find out about nature. I learnt about the stones that I built it with and then I found out that the tide only rarely makes it up that high. <BR/><BR/>So it was a super-high one this week? Whether it destroyed it or not does not matter. The point is that what happens happens. I am only disappointed when it falls down before I have finished or I do not manage to get a decent photo. Everything else is all good. I will have to build one further out to see it consumed by the tide.<BR/><BR/>All the best.<BR/><BR/>RichardRichard Shillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986006611907624065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-51887106929513726602009-02-07T20:00:00.000+00:002009-02-07T20:00:00.000+00:00Ahhhh....we won't go into the world of 21st centu...Ahhhh....we won't go into the world of 21st century photography anonymous (the name doesn't suit you) you can create an elephant out of a dustbin these days with all the manipulation tools a your disposal....a game of total deceit.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-24587969027204842082009-02-07T14:41:00.000+00:002009-02-07T14:41:00.000+00:00[manipulating pics]........so when you claim an Am...[manipulating pics]........so when you claim an American Robin on your lawn, we know where it came from :-) PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
