Thank you very much Güni the area I live in is very good for finding fossils.

Best wishes for a good evening :-)

What a beauty!

Many thanks Eva

Oh wow! What a great find James. The shapes and detail are superb and I like the blue/black colour palette. Beautifully captured..!!

Are there lots of fossils in this area?

Thank you very much Keith as ever your comment is appreciated

The coastline along the south side of the island from the bay right up to Blackgang is a great place for fossil hunting, there is a museum in Sandown showing a great many of the fossils that have been found there. If memory serves me right there are some dinosaur footprints in the rocks at Compton bay.

Sounds like an interesting area to visit. I haven't been to the IOW for years!

Of course I am biased but I find it interesting especially through the changing weathers and seasons.
There is also a museum at the bay called Dimbola Lodge it is dedicated to the Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, she was friends with Tennyson and quite often took pics of him as well as "volunteering" locals for portraits.
A small island maybe but so much history

Awesome shot and details!

Many thanks William I hope you have a good weekend

The spiral form of an ammonite is an ageless universal/celestial design!
