Evening Dreams

Captured at Burnham on Sea, Somerset where the River Brue meets the River Parrett and the combined rivers flow into Bridgwater Bay.

The evening light warms this peaceful scene with the boat 'Dreamer; lying on it's side in the foreground.

My link is 'In Dreams' by Roy Orbison

Lovely maritime shot, Carol!
I might have told you before (apologies if I have) that in the days before satnav and google, I travelled from London to Burnham-on-Sea to visit some new clients. I used to look at a local map in a nearby garage when I was close to my destination. I found a map but couldn't find the address on it. I asked around and no-one knew the street I wanted. I tried a payphone but the number was continually engaged. After an hour or so, phoning occasionally (no mobile phones then either), I reluctanly had to head off back down the M4 to London. When I got back there was a message on my ansafone. 'What had happened to me?'
Guess what. They lived in Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex! Totally my mistake! I had never heard of the Essex one and my clients only ever said 'Burnham' when we spoke and made the appointment! A waste of time and petrol but they did become loyal clients and we had a laugh about in later years!

A really beautiful warm light on the boats and the sky looks divine! Just recently, each time I have visited Burnham, the tide has been out, which is fascinating in itself, but I would quite like to get a photo like this one :-))

A superb link Carol. In the 1990's I saw The Roy Orbison Story in the Princess Theatre, Torquay. It was amazing and I still remember it vividly.

HFF and wish you a good weekend.
