Something for the weekend - Part 40 - On the beach

Hi

Thanks for the great response to last weekend's barber shop challenge. This week we have a real photograph rather than a 3D model scene. It is part of the beach at Balnakeil Bay on the north coast of Scotland. A beautiful, if somewhat remote, spot to visit although the weather is not always exactly tropical.

So, I bring you the beach - what will you add to it to bring it to life? Pirates, sea creatures, tourists or something else entirely. The choice is , as always, entirely yours.

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun.

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun.

Dave

Well this week has generated lots of interest

Trevor - I love the menu pinned to the rock. That did make me laugh!

Jacob - you were spot on with the google location - that's the place.

Jane - we'll have to have a game of spot the route

It seems to have been a weekend of hidden messages. So just in case anyone is still struggling to find the alphabet, from the coffee time puzzle in post 18 - here is the solution :

I see there are a few of us going for the writing on the beach

Barb - Very clever idea !

Jacob - The archaic writing suggests the tide hasn't been in for a while
Rista - If he is looking for me - I'm hiding ! I see you found the letters.

For anyone still looking, I'll post the answer to the hidden letters tomorrow. If you can't wait - then there is always the difference blend mode

Dave,

I tried to be careful in my avoiding obsolete words, although it required self control to abstain from writing hier instead of here (especially after post #7); it helped to have the decision of one English word in each line and the use of closer words, such as brither instead of brurra or brar, to (at least moderately) limit the unintelligibleness (or unintelligibility).

More nice images

Jacob - if I see them on the horizon I'm off! Extra points for using part of a previous SFTW image

Ged - Captain Jack Sparrow did visit Scotland then !

Dean - welcome to SFTW. That does look like it could warm the beach somewhat !

Wow - looks like it's going to be a good weekend !

Jerry - looks like Nessie is on her holidays !

Rista - Brave souls indeed. We have a similar event here on Boxing day in the North Sea, known as the "Boxing Day Dip". The local firemen then hose down the participants when they come out of the water just to get the salt off. With seawater temperatures around 6 degrees C and air temperatures around freezing it takes a certain mentality to do it

Trevor - A new splash screen - I can imagine the outcry !

HothWampa - A trip to greek mythology ? I like it.

c.pfaffenbichler - I love the style of this one. My google translate is having trouble with the words though - can you help?

Keep them coming - all are welcome to have a go

My google translate is having trouble with the words though - can you help?

It’s »Schiff, Wasser, Felsen« which translates as »Shop, Water, Rocks«.

The Fraktur fonts have two different lowercase »s«, maybe I used a wrong one in there.
