It was a long, thick, twist of twigs... like a giant sea serpent washed up onto the rocks.
So long it would have covered the length of one and a half tennis courts, and stretched straight it surely would have been longer.
Winding and weaving its way between the rocks, left resting heavy where it lay.
It must have been formed by the constant rolling motion of the waves against the shore. Unable to escape. A dense felted twine of dried sea forestry, dislodged from deep below the sea surface.
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
We felt as though we stumbled upon one of Andy Goldsworthy's artworks, honoured and amazed (who doesn't love his work). Only even more so because it was a completely natural formation, proving again that nature is Queen!
For anyone unfamiliar with Andy Goldsworthy's work....

I love Andy Goldsworthy's work... and yes, your discovery looks like it could have come straight from him!
How wonderful nature can be...
beautiful photos - the snake looks like a sculpture. Thanks for introducing me to Goldsworthy's work too - he really lives up to his name!
Amazing... I love when nature gives us such beautiful little surprises.
Wow wow. To both of them.

That was unreal. Amazing.
Did you take a piece of it, or would it have been impossible to break.
Wow, nature is truly a Mother.
xooxo
No, Renee, I didn't dare take a piece. It felt too sacred to tamper with. :)
