Happisburgh sea erosion defences

Happisburgh sea erosion defences
Walking along the waters edge here we have seemingly miles of this kind of defence. Mostly it has been abandoned now as it did not work! However it all makes for some great photo subjects.

Enjoy full screen

Haha, exactly! In reality they probably still do have some power to stop the worst of the rough seas.

Best Wishes. Herb

The force of nature often makes such defenses ineffective. I know this because I was born in a town in the Cantabrian Sea. Wonderful picture my friend. Best wishes, Anton.

Thanks for this Anton. Yes, a lot of time and effort has gone into making all this but it has only had a small effect I think as the soft cliffs to the side (not pictured here) here testify. It sounds like you are aware of such things from your country too.

Best Wishes. Herb

They look very photogenic indeed! Maybe the erosion would have been even worse without the defences.

A cracking view along the coast captured in glorious sunshine. The large rock in the foreground anchors the frame nicely and the (failed) sea defences are fascinating to see (and as you say, very photogenic.

Beautifully captured Herb.

I felt very lucky to be walking along here in such sunshine, even though it meant wearing my big hat to ward of the suns race from my face. These structures give so many opportunities for pictures. Very happy you enjoyed them too.

Yes, some unusual blue skies for us here and I feel looking at todays weather that we will pay for that for a long time. It proves again what a difference in weather that south east part of England has to us up here in the NW. It was a fantastic walk with many photo opps -most not taken of course.

Cheers. Herb
