Google Map showing the sea beach track we took to the Horse Head. Palm oil plantation can be seen in and around these areas.

Exactly 6 years later i headed back to Miri. This time I was attracted by the reports of sightings of blue tears seen in this unheard of beach of Tusan.

Tusan Beach  -  40 km away from Miri  on the coastal road situated the Tusan ( Trusan ) Cliff. The geology resembles Tg Lubang ( cliff with a hole) in Miri. Notably absence here is the tubular - rusty looking fossils commonly found in the later.

The tiny shrimps let off light for a duration of around 100 sec. Looks like they like to ride the wave.  Using ISO 3200 4-5 seconds exposure f 2.8 lens

Imaging taking tripod shots in pitch darkness when the wave is lapping at your feet.  Impossible task to steady the tripods.

Now this looks like a submerged face or horse with a big eye

A fragile looking exposed end.
