Pirates Cove

I was more fascinated by the stones that I found when we entered the Pirate’s Cove. (near Port Jefferson)



They were so round and smooth, created by just being tossed around  during the changing waterline of the high tide and low tide. 



They were of different size, shape and colour. 

The stretch of the beach had dunes on one side and perhaps that could be the reason it was named as Pirate’s Cove 





The highest dune is about 177 ft from sea level.
It is a good place for fishing and at low tide the beach is firm. Perhaps that is the reason why this guy was confidently pedaling away on his MTB 



Saw this broken down pier. Maybe in it’s hey days it must have helped in transporting a lot of goods to the ship anchored way out. 


Coming back to the stones, saw these two stones side by side. Both with different colours and textures. In the present day world, is it trying to give out a message ?

In our landscape we can tell whether pebbles were deposited by ice or water but whether they a jagged or rounded, assuming of course that it wasn't some other mechanism.

Wow, what a perspective! You make any mundane thing appear as a piece of art. I will never look at Pirate's Cove the same way again. Thanks Joe - AnnMary

I love that you appreciated the smoothness of the pebbles. Too many people go through life blind to the beauty in the everyday things around them.
