Yes, the big stone on the left looks wrong somehow; too polished I guess.
As for the barnacles, they look perfect on the dark stone, but there's
indeed something wrong with them on the other rocks. Maybe they're too
clustered. Or maybe they're in the wrong places; I'd imagine that they'd
have an easier life clinging to the sides, where the waves don't come
crashing down on them every few hours. Or maybe they should be more
prosperous close to the water, where they're less frequently exposed to air.

Ahh, that makes more sense.. I looked at some sea star fossils and was a
bit confused ;-)

Thanks, I think you could be correct about putting them on the side.
Also, they tend to grown in clusters so maybe I will try positioning
them less randomly. I am using a pattern to position them currently with
an element of randomisation.

They have to, if they want to reproduce. (As it is, the males have the longest
in the animal kingdom.)

Barnacles literaly cement themselves to rocks, and boat hulls, with a
natural epoxide cement that they make.
So, waves crashing down on them is not an isue.

I guess you're talking about relative size; when it comes to absolute
length, it's probably some whale species.

Well, they need to /start/ cementing themselves to a surface at some
point, and I guess that's easier to do where the water isn't /too/ upset.

Seems I need an major update of my seaside experiences. During the last years I
only took short strolls at a mudflat area and cannot remember any living seaweed
there. But as I think about it now, there were small washed up dead ones.
And yes, it is Cornwall. My wife has determined the place. Someone must have
lost a garden nearby.
Best regards,
Michael.

Is that the Lost Gardens of Heligan?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Gardens_of_Heligan
I was there years ago and it is worth a visit.
I hope that you wait until the weather is better, though.
