Photographer's Note
On the weekend of the 17th of March 2007, there was an alignment of the moon sun and earth, coupled with an equinox tide, as well as a gale force wind coming from a cyclone a short distance away... This devastated the coast line of South Africa and destroyed many properties. Beaches have been closed up, old bones found buried for many years, and even the rocks underneath the sand exposed as can be seen in this picture just off Sheffield Beach on the North Coast of South Africa.
It is quite a phenomenon for us, as we hardly ever experience things like this. But it makes us begin to realise what it must have been like when the big tsunami hit - and still this is nothing...

Hi Judy, the only more occasional visitor to TE than myself. Great note and I guess the photo illustrates it well, although there are of course coastlines that look like this all over the worlds. But if there used to be sand here it is quite amazing. Stay in touch.
