Low Tide,

Low Tide,
Low water in Bridgwater Bay,
I recommend a large view, the course of the River Parrett is viewable to the left with the island of Steep Holm and the lower lighthouse to the right,

Love to know how far the drift wood on the beach has travelled

The river Parrett is 37 miles long, 19 of which are tidal, the fall is only 1 foot per mile (0.2 m/km), so it is prone to frequent flooding in winter and during high tides. A number of tributaries feed into it as it flows across the Somerset levels,

Steep Holm island is limestone and rises to about 200 feet (61 m) it has been inhabited since the 6th century, but now It is protected as a nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest

Glorious diffused light and lovely warm colours, especially on the sands. Great composition too.

I like the people in shot...........and the tiny lighthouse. A cracking shot Roger with an interesting narrative.............and definitely worth viewing large.

First lit in 1832, the Low Lighthouse operated in conjunction with the High Lighthouse for 137 years but now works solo as the higher one has been decommissioned.

Beautiful shot Roger, I love the tones.

Talking of tones, the R. Tone is still backed up and flooding the levels up river from Burrowbridge, the Parret remains too high to take anymore. Thank goodness we haven't had any rain for a couple of weeks.
