River Otter Tidal Estuary

The landscape looks like here. Rainy, grey days ! But it’s nice to imagine this place in bright sun. I think it’s very lovely.

Thanks Ulrich..........I'm pleased you like it despite the lack of decent sunshine.

This is a very moody photos of Buddleigh Salterton, Keith. Instantly recognizable for me because of the row o fir trees. Have they opened the flood gates further up the Otter where there is a new bridge?

Thanks Amelia.........I guessed you'd recognise this area.............glad you like the shot, despite the lack of decent light.

I've attached a link giving the most recent updates on the restoration project.

That looks a very attractive place to wander past. Am I correct that a wildlife film on TV mentioned Otters seen on the River Otter ?

It's a lovely place Colin and one of my favourite places to visit when we go to Devon.

Glad you like the photo. I'm afraid I have not seen the TV programme you mention, nor have I ever seen an Otter on the River Otter, but I assume there must have been some,

I've seen an article online which says they're making a comeback on the river, but it doesn't give more detail than that. I'll investigate next time I visit!

Beautiful landscape image; looks so quiet and peaceful.

Thank you Jaap............it is normally quite busy In the summer, but in this recent wet and miserable weather there's hardly anyone around, which is great1

My favourite part of Budleigh Salterton Keith. Good to see the row of trees that are in many of my photos, are still there and looking good. We have sat on the ridge where the benches are and watched the tide come in many times.

I always view your pictures large anyway :-)) A super shot Keith.

Mine too Rosa.........such a shame the weather wasn't up to much.........but it did mean it was almostt deserted the day I was there, which was nice! Glad you like the photo and thank for the nice comments. I have a few more to show in due course.

There is a lot of work going on there at the moment......a sort of "re-wilding" project. I've attached a link if you're interested.

Thank you for the interesting link Keith.

I'll be back up that way in late October, so I'll see what difference the work has made then.

A lot of softness in this photo...

Probably due to the on-going drizzly rain Typo!

Ce temps pluvieux crée une douce lumière qui confère à la photo une grande douceur. Le paysage est splendide avec cette alternance d'eau et de terre

You're quite correct of course Jean-louis...........I would have like liked some sunshine though, but sometimes we have to take what we can get. Glad you like the photo and thanks for your kind comments.

Das ist ja ein sehr schöner Fleck Natur lieber Keith,in dieser Natur kommt man richtig zum Entspannen,da freut sich auch die Natur,wenn sie soviel Wasser um sich hat,auch die verschiedenen Grüntöne sind toll in deiner schönen Aufnahme :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Güni............this is one of my favourite places to go for a walk when I visit my family in Devon. I'm pleased you can see how lovely it is too.

Thank you for your kind comments.......and enjoy the rest of the week.

Man versteht dich,dass es dich gerne in dieses Gebiet zieht,ist echt sehr schön lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Wonderful green river islets..
Superb landscape
Soft light that gives the photo a great softness, Keith!

Thank you Judite. This is one of my favourite places to visit when I go to Devon. I'm glad you like it too.

My kind of green landscape Keith. As you suggested -nice full screen. Well done.

Regards. Herb

I was hoping you'd like this one Herb..........so thank you very much indeed!

A wonderful atmospheric capture Keith

Thank you kind sir! Much appreciated.

This island? isthmus? whatever spreading from the left seems in movement, a fine photo indeed.

Not an island Isabel, this is a tidal wetlands area and there are channels running through the landscape. I'm pleased you like the shot.............thank you!

byzondere water landschappen keith
ook die achtergrond rechts geeft je atmosferische kracht

Thank you so much for your kind comments Fred.

Even in the photo I can see the humidity:-) It makes for a remarkably lush green and an atmospheric background. A very well composed photo!

It was really strange. I was standing only around 50 metres from the sea and beach to take this, but the atmosphere was quite different. I'm pleased you like this one and thanks for your kind comments.

Eine wunderbare Landschaft, sehr schön präsentiert. Ich mag das satte Grün und wie sich die Flächen im Bild verteilen.

Thank you so much Wilhelm............this is one of my favourite places when I visit Devon. Glad you like it too.

Une très belle carte postale
