The remnants of a causeway on the Thames foreshore below New Crane Stairs (at the turn in Wapping High Street where it heads to Garnet Street), London.

Only visible at very low tides. Photographed at 0.2m tide.

**Red‑Gold Dragon**  
The Red‑Gold Dragon, *Draconis aurumflamma*, is said to have first appeared in the mountain courts of early Zhou‑era mystics, who described it as a creature woven from storm‑light and molten ore. Legends claim emperors sought its favor not for war, but for wisdom: the dragon’s spiraling body was believed to map celestial currents, allowing scholars to predict seasonal shifts and political tides.

Modern folklorists were stunned when a 19th‑century naturalist proposed a semi‑scientific classification, arguing that its serpentine anatomy resembled an evolutionary offshoot of ancient river reptiles. Though unproven, the idea gave the Red‑Gold Dragon a curious place in proto‑mythological biology.

Its most unexpected purpose, however, lies in ritual craftsmanship. Artisans once invoked the dragon not as a guardian but as a muse for precision, believing its coils taught the perfect balance between tension and grace, a philosophy still echoed in calligraphy and martial arts today.

Celestial Maiden of the Tides

Drosera capensis, the Cape sundew, is a perennial rosette-forming carnivorous herb in the flowering plant family Droseraceae. It is native to the Cape region of South Africa, where it grows in permanently wet, nutrient-poor habitats. Leaves are covered in stalked glands that secrete sticky mucilage. These attract, trap, and digest arthropod prey, obtaining nutrients that supplement intake from the substrate in which the plant grows. The plant is an autotroph that produces its own food in the green leaves by photosynthesis. The nutrients (like minerals N, P, Na, Ca etc)  absorbed from insects are not  plant food but essential miconutrients are used in the production of amino acids, necleotides  which are required for growth.

Shield Maiden of the Tides

The Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth. It orbits around Earth at an average distance of 384,399 kilometres (238,854 mi),[f] a distance roughly 30 times the width of Earth. It completes an orbit (lunar month) in relation to Earth and the Sun (synodically) every 29.5 days. The Moon and Earth are bound by gravitational attraction, which is stronger on the sides facing each other. The resulting tidal forces are the main driver of Earth's tides, and have pulled the Moon to always face Earth with the same near side. This tidal locking effectively synchronizes the Moon's rotation period (lunar day) to its orbital period (lunar month).

This model was generated from 417 images taken with Go Pro Hero 9 camera, using Agisoft Metashape softwarfe at low resolution. The photogrammetric survey was undertake after Spring tides has removed the overburden of windblow sand. In contrast to the survey undertaken on 14 November 2022, where an overburden of sand is evident. The wreck is that of the Francis Beddoe, a wooden ketch of 250 tons built at Saundersfoot in 1872  - it was the last vessel from the yard of Francis Beddoe on Railway Street (now The Strand). There are numerous small mentions appearing in the Shipping Intelligence columns of newspapers noting cargos and voyages - e.g. carrying maize, gravel, sand, slate from Porthmadoc and coal to ports such as Newport, Ulveston, Glasgow, Whitehaven, Bristol, London, Exeter, Bideford, Barnstaple, Boscastle, Carnarvon (from Thompson's colliery), Dundalk and Coleraine.

Cariátides: Mascarón Norte, 1 de 4

St Beuno's Church dominates the village of Clynnog with it's cathedral like proportions. Definitely worth a visit with a history of a monastic settlement dating back to around the 7th century. 

But in the churchyard is this sundial from the 10th -12th century. Not to be confused with a mass clock, it divides the half day of 12 hours into four three hour tides, a system used by the Saxon and Norse settlers probably from Ireland. Clynnog was raided by Hiberno-Norse vikings in 978.

The church has a history too big to cover here. The sundial was found in the 19th century being used as a footbridge across a mill stream and put in the churchyard where it is believed to have come from in 1930
