The Fair Breeze Blew...But Not Today!

Low tide and Reflections in the water at Watchet Harbour today . The weather was beautiful and the water was quite still. The coast guard's hut on the right overlooks the scene and the words from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' are written on the harbour wall at the rear of the shot.

' The Fair Breeze Blew The White Foam Flew The Furrow Followed Free'

Coleridge wrote the poem here whilst staying in the area with William Wordsworth and the Ancient Mariner is depicted on the harbourside in a statue with the albatross around his neck.

Best viewed large I think. Many thanks
