Unseen Exchange

As a landscape photographer that moved to the coast over twenty years ago I often find myself drawn to the sea and enjoy watching and capturing how it meets and interacts with the land. During my first ever visit to Craster I immediately noticed the stark contrast between the calm and peaceful Dunstanburgh Castle on a crisp October day to the constant, never ending activity of the sea always crashing against the rocks.
I like to think about all the unseen activity taking place in the kelp forests under the water, a completely different world than that of above. Home to tough hardy inhabitants, all desperately clinging to the rocks and stones, thrashed around in a swirling chaos, sometimes being exposed to our world as the tides recede, giving them a chance to rest, or maybe now even more at risk from new threats or predators, but with no other choice than to wait and hope to be returned home to do it all again once the tide rolls back in.
