Seeing

What the coast gives up when you look closely.

The unseen coast

Estuary, rocky shore, surf beach, fast water — four coasts inside one county, and none of them announcing themselves. What is here is mostly small and mostly close up: gullies, oarweed, broken ground, and whatever the light happened to be doing. No marks are named.

Evening light at the coast — a broken drystone wall and bracken under a wide November sky, the sea beyond

Wexford — the four coasts, and why this one rewards looking closely.
