Kind of Blue!

Back to one of our local harbours for this weeks wall, a low tide capture of the inner harbour which is now a 150 berth Marina at Watchet on Somerset’s, Bristol Channel Coast,

The high walls have to cope with the second highest tidal range in the world, often exceeding 12 to 14 metres (approx. 40 to 50 feet) during spring tides. This extreme fluctuation is caused by the funnelling shape of the estuary and resonant amplification of the Atlantic tide,

HWW to all!

I love the strong diagonal formed by the row of boats. I love also the stillness of the refelction.The way the harbour wall separates the water from the sky is very effective, Have a great Wednesday, Roger. All the best, Joe
