“Allow me to introduce my family"

Another look at Porlock Marsh. This time we see just a few of the trees that were once here before the whole area was flooded with saltwater after the sea breached the natural ridge of Porlock Bay in the winter of 1996. Before that, this area was pastoral farm land for grazing animals.

ps a nice friendly face to this tree (in case you missed it on first glance.)

Interesting Herb,.. the trees appear exactly the same to those revealed at low water beneath the Derwent dams - but here it seems that salt water snuffed out the tree and foliage life,.. / Dj.

Herb Riddle replied to David G Johnson:

Yes, I have seen trees snuffed out by dams too. I am pretty sure that salt water has its own effects.

Best Wishes. Herb

What a cleverly framed image.............and a clever title. I love the shape (and face) of the larger dead tree..........and its family!

Excellent work with a nice touch of humour :-)
