I went out for an hour this morning and came back with two shots that I liked, this one, and a much better one that I'll put up tomorrow. Oh, and you can thank Libby for the title of this one :-)

Fabulous! Reminds me of a laundrette submarine submerging. Sure would cut down on the rinse cycle. Mmmm, I sure do love b&w.

I must say I like the black & white feel on this one. What is this thing actually? Something you came across on the beach?

I love the sky! The black & white treatment works well with this photo.

I really like the action of the water and the stillness of the sky. Such great tones here.

Great title! I could just imagine the big kraken get the next basket. The picture's great too, of course.

Excellent photograph, exciting to look at and timely. It is timely because tomorrow I have to do my laundry. :)

Thanks all.

Kjetil: there's some construction work going on on the beach. This fence marks one of the boundaries.

Navin: I think they're bits of washed up cloth rather than actual clothes.
