HBM – The seat at the end of the causeway

HBM – The seat at the end of the causeway
After a lengthy mile hike along this wet shingle causeway to Davaar Island, most people need a sit down. We have already done the walk to here, and now after exploring this western half of the Island, it is time to walk back before the tide turns and cuts us off. The main coastline and sea is to the left of the causeway and the wavy track points the way to the far off road and houses.
One has to be careful here and know the tidal times and conditions. In 2008 Len Bennet, the inhabitant of Light Keeper’s House, sadly died crossing this at night.

Enjoy full size and enjoy your week in safety.

An excellent capture Herb and the sad story belies the gentle appearance of the area. As you say it is critical to be aware of tides and conditions, especially if a local can get it so badly wrong, poor man.
Love your composition with the bench and the causeway snaking through the image
HBM and have a good week

Beautifully composed with nice leading lines Herb. I like the look of that sturdy looking bench made with natural materials.

Easy to see how you could get into trouble if you got the tides wrong!

Ein schöner Platz mit einem weiten Blick. Und ja, wenn man die Regeln der Natur nicht beachtet, kann es gefährlich werden.
HBM und einen guten Start in die Woche, Herb!

Deswegen liebe ich die Ostsee, da sind die Gezeiten nicht spürbar. Wirkt sehr einsam die Gegend.
