A new photo for my ‘After Earth’ series. We’re enjoying some stormy weather in Portugal right now.

Waves like mountains. A turbulent sea off the English coast.

A ‘clapotis’ off the East Sussex coast.

I thought I’d share a few of my favourite photos by other people that I’ve seen on this platform in 2025. A slowly evolving thread. 🧵

The last rays of sunlight on wet sand. Oregon coast.

Sunlight on sea.

Happy Christmas.

Bronze shore. Golden light on wet sand.

Just a twisting wave at 1/4 sec.

A simple scene from a remote black sand beach in Iceland.

Colours of Autumn.

Slo-mo waves in evening light, off the Sussex coast.

Some silky sea water.

A detail from the mighty Haifoss. 🇮🇸

I love black sand beaches. 🇮🇸

Yesterday was National Lighthouse Day in USA. I do love a lighthouse. The one in this photo is Beachy Head lighthouse, in UK. 1/2 #nationallighthouseday

A splashy moment. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Just a wave.

It’s #mountainmonday, so here’s a mountain. 🇦🇶

Strange rocks in fog. I called this one ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’.

A stormy day on the south coast. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A leaf on the tide.

The sea being splashy.

A peaceful moment, noticing the details.

A close-up of the sea. 🇫🇷

Just the sky.

Who sees a sleeping dragon?

A rare woodland photo for me. But I wouldn’t mind being in a cool, foggy forest right now! 🥵

A simple moment, standing in the sea.

One of the most beautiful skies I’ve seen. This was over Sedona.

It’s such a cliché to quote Masefield next to a photo of the sea, but here I am going for it too, because this photo has always reminded me of these words: ‘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.’

Memories of a stormy day from a few years ago. The white dots in the sky are flying sea foam. East Sussex, UK.

Lighthouse reflected. Lighthouses might be my favourite type of building. The first recorded lighthouse was the Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Pharos was built in around 280 BC and was 450 feet high, making it also the tallest one ever built. 1/2 🧵

A close look at the Southern Ocean. #JuneSea

Here’s a curious little thing I encountered today. I believe it’s a bag worm moth caterpillar, dragging its carefully constructed wooden home around with it. #portugal

Another detail from an iceberg.

Something for a hot day. A glimpse into the strange, labyrinthine world at the bottom of an iceberg.

It’s Sussex Day. I grew up in Sussex and it still feels like home. So here are some photos from Sussex. #sussexday

Another photo of the Seven Sisters. Many people assume they’re in Dover, Kent, but they’re actually between Eastbourne and Newhaven, East Sussex, in the South Downs National Park. Dover has its own chalk cliffs.

Something darker for today. This little shell is hanging on in there, against the rush of the tide.

‘Relic’. An old wreck off the coast of East Sussex.

‘Hydra’, 2016

‘Luna’. A slo-mo wave. What a lovely, cultural weekend. I saw the Flowers exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery on Saturday, explored Lee Miller and Roland Penrose’s home, Farleys House on Sunday and took in Anthony McCall’s Solid Light at the Tate today. All recommended 🙂
