Waves pounding entrance in rocks
In front of us are two sections of sandstone cliff which have been split in two creating a v-shaped space. This space has been worn away by the continual pounding of the sea. If you look closely you will see that a wave has just crashed into this space and has now sent spray throughout this section. In front of us we see a flat area of sand which is covered in a thin layer of water, allowing a reflection of the rocks to be displayed. This area is part of the bay at Clashach Cove. These rocks are pale yellow, buff, non calcareous medium grained New Red Sandstone of the Permian period. They were once sand dunes and are analogous to an offshore setting in the North Sea. This area is also the 12th hole of the nearby golf course, and the par 3 hole has been named The Prieshach. Photographed on a beach walk from Hopeman to Lossiemouth, Moray, Grampian, Scotland
