Hi Roger
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition and balance...
I do wonder if money could be spent more usefully on keeping people out of dangerous waters, rather than rescue!!
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Many thanks Peter, The Bristol Channel has a huge tidal range and is at times very fast flowing which makes it a very dangerous area!

I love your framing of this shot Roger. At last! Something being done about this lovely old pier!
I will take a look at your link shortly. The route to Weston from here is not an easy one, but I will definitely keep an eye on the progress and visit. I like visiting in the winter :)

HBM Roger and a good new week.
