Langstone Harbour.......the Wade Way

Just to the right of where I'm standing (and out of shot) is the Hayling Island road bridge. The post in the shingle you can see here, marks the start of what used to be the only way of crossing (without a boat) between Langstone Harbour and Hayling island. It was called the wade way and it is now impassible. It is thought to be around 3000 years old.

This through your excellent images is becoming a favourite location, Keith,
I like your composition, the curved shingle bank makes a nice lead and the one legged birds add nicely to the scene, finally the haze across the water gives the image a real winter feel,

Have a great weekend !

Sinnbildlich für die untergegangene Bronzezeit. Jetzt ist es ein Vogelwanderweg ;-)) Sehr gelungener Bildaufbau. Anschaulich in Szene gesetzt.

Well, that's probably only thanks to the water. We had to replace a hundred-year-old roof because the wood was rotten. Nice picture.

A fine shot here. Yes many of these cause way water-crossing have now disappeared due to water-level changes in our current climate. I see one can get to the Island over a bridge now! As said above -a lot of history here. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers. Herb
