Stunning pics there BM, love the shells but really hope they were picked off of the beach and not taken from the sea

Fabulous photos Blue Marlin. I'm beginning to think they weren't taken in Rhyll afterall.

 

Looking at your photos whilst in the cold & gloomy UK I'm not jealous at all about the lovely scenary & warm weather you seem to be enjoying over there, nope, not one bit jealous.

thanks about the pics matey! yes Finepix it's a big problem and one which saddens me very much. the shells and corals are protected but still it does not stop these desperate people plucking them from the sea and reefs and trying to sell to tourists. there are many warnings for tourists not to buy off these people.. this guy was trying to sell to me and of course i straight up refused and showed my disapproval. when i started taking photos he was not impressed at all and in-fact ended up shouting all sorts at and trying to chase me off.. lucky i couldn't understand a word he was saying eh it could have got real ugly..
