Plant erosion along the edge of a California beach.
Some fiddling may have occurred during processing- I don't remember.

It's a monster

Fiddled with or not, great shot Charlie!!!

Tom

Reminds me of the gargoyles !

Birdie

It took me a while to see something happy in it.
Then I found it: There is a funny frog on top of it.
Cool shot and fiddling, Charlie.
Chris

I'd like to see the beer bottle that thing can open! Cool shot Charlie!

Tim

nicely done Charlie ..

Thanks, guys and doll .
South of Monterey and Carmel is Point Lobos State Park- where this was taken. Ansel Adams said about Pt Lobos that- along with Death Valley- it was one of two places where he'd never run out of things to photograph.
This is the bottom of a fallen tree trunk that had probably been out to sea and washed ashore long ago. When I saw it, the trunk was just above the high tide line, so a storm possibly washed it the last few yards. Anyhow- that's my theory .

Found the color version- with just normal processing.
Sorry I didn't find it earlier.
