Borth beach has an ancient submerged forest, most of the time the forest is hidden by sand and the sea, but occasionally rough seas scour the sand away and then you see this at low tide along the beach, where stumps of oak, pine, birch, willow and hazel (preserved by the acid anaerobic conditions in the peat) can be seen. Radiocarbon dating suggests these trees died about 1500 BC.

Welcome. We went there once to look at the petrified forest, sadly the tide was in. Wanted to go back there to take pics, but we left Ceredigion before we had a chance. Lived just outside of Lampeter, a small village called Llanfair Clydogau. I miss my old home.

What an interesting place! I like that you've concentrated on one of the most interesting looking stumps and you've nailed the focus, If I might suggest trying the lens correction tool in your editing software? Your horizon curves, which is easily dialled out.
