Showing the height required to hold back the sea which has a huge tidal range in Bridgwater Bay and a lone fisherman trys his luck on the receding evening tide.

Appreciate a large view please.

Many thanks George, with a 15m tidal range it has to be and this replaced one that was washed away in the 80s.

Now THAT'S what you call sea wall.................wow!

I don't know about the sea, but it catches the light beautifully Roger. Great to see the lone fisherman in the shot too for scale.

A great perspective and a cracking shot!

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

Many thanks Keith, If a decent wind is blowing off of the bay waves will still overtop even this wall,
