Well it was dead, but was pretty massive nearly a metre with tentacles outstreched - didn't know we had octopus (i gather its one) that large near the front beaches here ...

We don't make a photograph just with a camera, we bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the people we have loved. - Ansel Adams
Must say I've never actually found one washed up, but they are very common amoung the diving fraternity...seen and teased one maybe 2 to 3 times as big as that once while diving...scary encounter to say the least.

This is the 1st time I've ever one on a beach here - everyone walking past was stopping to look at it
Looks like an alien hey! Pretty funky looking creatures
