Description
Himanthalia elongata.
This common brown seaweed has washed up on the beach in large quantities this week. We don't see this one as often as some of the wider sorts.
I was attracted to the knots!
Some more Here

A lovely tangle.

It reminded of a snake ball. We see them here during the spring time. Here is a link so you can see the comparison to your image. http://cdn.asiancorrespondent.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/garter-snake-mating-ball-621x434.jpg

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

I can relate. Every time I coil something it ends up in knots. Well seen and captured. Now I must go and find some spinach fettuccini.

What a great study Andrea, that shadow looks cool!

Yeah, it looks like linguine. It's such a fascinating shot, because the light makes it look like big metallic bands, or perhaps big noodles. A pasta for sure. It has an almost celtic interlace. And the rush of stems, all culminating in the "head" gives it a "plunge". And the sand particles on the stems are like seasoning---sesame seeds most likely (if this were a Japanese noodle dish). Edible looking and endlessly fascinating, a dramatic tangle of one of nature's most varied plants---seaweeds. (The flickr version is more dramatic, being a closeup.) Very compelling and hunger inducing! We don't get this in Chicago!

A great shot to get the tangled mess of knots AND the shadow!
