Skywatch - Singing Beach
Singing Beach, Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA December 23, 2008
The big beach in my home town is called Singing Beach. It's named because the sand squeaks when you walk on it. Tuesday was such a beautiful day that Leon and I decided on a stroll on the beach. With all the storms we have had this week, the beach at low tide is one of the few places where you can walk without trudging through the snow. I got some nice pictures for Skywatch.

This close to the solstice, it's almost sunset at 3 PM.

Very great pictures!I like it!Happy SWF!
That looks like a greta beach and the icicles are really spectacular.
Seaside icicles are something I have never seen nor imagined! Here the beaches may be cold, wet and rainy but icicles, no! But in any weather beaches are just the perfect place for a long walk on a holiday.
Great pictures! I especially liked the seaside icicles. I don't think I've ever seen icicles at the seaside (or that much snow).
Humpf! Looks like you are having better weather there than we are! See you next week.
Oh wow, how I'd love to walk on this singing beach! Very cool. The ice crystals are very neat. Great shot. I'm looking at the sky here.
Beautiful Doug! Looks like a great Christmas destination. I would love to be there right now!
I love the shot of the icicles Doug, really beautiful.
Those icicles can be dangerous, but are also scenic, and an interesting display of the water cycle. I've been to a similar beach, I think it has to do with uniformity of grain size and composition of sand.
Beautiful Pictures Doug. The singing sand is such a neat phenomenon. I experienced a similar thing along Lake Michigan.
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful sky and beach there. Love those amazing icicles. Winter can really transform an environment in the most stunning and dramatic ways.
what a lovely name for a beach.
Gorgeous....SNOW all round, and there's ICE on the BEACH! THAT's a memorable Christmas walk.
Now that is the first time I have seen an iced landscape with sugar frosting even running over the cliffs! It really does not look like snowat all, more what one would expect on a wedding cake!
Well done, some great shots.
Thanks for the pictures. At least I can dream about snow. It will be in the high 70's here today. I hope you and Leon's weekend has been good.
Happy New Year!
Cheers from London

Doug, I want to walk on a singing beach! That idea has captured my imagination! Did it sing Christmas carols to you?
