Slipway Sunset

The Burnham on Sea slipway at sunset with the River Parrett Estuary to the left flowing into Bridgwater Bay. The slipway, or jetty, is extensively used both by the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution)and BARB (Burnham Area Rescue Boat), known also as Burnham Search and Rescue on their rescue missions. Barb uses both boats and hovercraft for this purpose and use the side of the slipway for launching when the tide is too far out to launch from the end. On this beautiful evening though it was peaceful as we watched the setting sun, the warmth of the light catching the jetty and railings. As the beach is west facing Burnham does experience some very beautiful sunsets.

Thank you very much Stephan. Absolutely on a clear day you can see a fair bit of the Welsh coast, Port Talbot as well as Cardiff. Also at night you can easily pick out the lights along the coast.

Best wishes Carol

The magic of the setting sun, it's woncerful. The seagull reminds me of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and burned his wings...
