He was far from any hiding places, or his sand hole.
They are common shore crabs in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, inhabiting deep burrows in the intertidal zone.
The sand made for a strange pattern in the photograph. At first I didn’t like the texture at all. Then I decieded to ‘play’ with the finishing.
Shadows and textures turned them into interesting images.
Lovely shots of this amazing crab, Ted!
A friend spotted him as we carried gear like sherpa out a Km or so 🙂 Good excuse to take a break. I’m getting a bit old to be playing safari games.
