Nicely composed with great depth and detail Roger. A lovely selection of colourful boats too!

I'm sure I read somewhere that the tidal range in the Bristol Channel is one of the biggest in the world?

I hope you and yours are staying safe and well :-)

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thank you Keith, Yes it has the second biggest in the world the Bay of Fundy in Canada is the highest but again that's from memory,
A very good local knowledge is required from boat skippers,

Formidable capture !!!!!!
Les marées, un phénomène que nous ne connaissons pas en Méditerranée ! Je suis toujours impressionné de voir ces bateaux posés au sol lorsque je vais sur la côte ouest française !
J'aime beaucoup les couleurs sur votre belle photo !
Bonne journée, Roger !

Hi Roger

A very interesting picture.

At first I imagined you would put it down to Global warming, and have Greta jumping up an down in excitement!

Best Wishes, and a nice weekend - but stay safe!!
