The last fisherman leaves as the tide recedes and the Sun throwws it golden light on the sea walls, now it's mainly just the gulls that remain,
The wet steps show the day's tidal range. Bridgwater Bay at Burnham on Sea, Somerset

Coastguard !
On the quayside at Watchet, with the Coastguard Station and a section of the next door Social Club,
Although the Coast guard is one of the emergency services, it doesn't always get the credit it is due.

The Writing on the Wall, 1 pip & 1 note
The writing on the Marina wall (Far Side, large view required) is a quote from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner which was inspired when Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Wordsworth's sister Dorothy visited while on a walking tour through the Quantock Hills in Somerset,
The Statue is of John Short (‘Yankee Jack’) born here in 1839 he went to sea and eventually joined a Yankee ship in the American Civil War, He was also a great singer of Sea Shanties and often sang on the quayside. The statue is by Alan B. Herriot, of Penicuik, Scotland.
The pip shows a statue of the Ancient Mariner holding the albatross, this was also designed and created by sculptor Alan B. Herriot, of Penicuik, Scotland, cast by Powderhall Fine Art Foundries in Edinburgh.
HFF and a good week to you all
