This is just a simple photo of some seaweed-covered rocks at Peralta, a beach in the Portuguese center west coast.
I am always fascinated by these "small worlds", deserted at first sight but revealing a tiny, surprisingly diverse, always busy population under a closer look.
Water being life, these small brooks created by the low tide are the support to a whole community of live beings, essential to the global life cycle, though small and humble they seem to be.
