Wordless Wednesday…… A Favourite Place

COCKERHAM-18.11

Location:-  Sunset over Morecambe Bay and River Lune from Cockerham, Lancashire

( I am breaking the Wordless Wednesday rule with a few words.  After all the miserable dark days of late I thought something with hope would be good…after all a sunset is supposed to herald good weather ahead.  As for this favourite place, well its great at any time of day, at high or low tide, always changing and always the call of Seabirds and Waders.)

Full Tide along the Creek…..

A FULL TIDE AT SKIPPOOL CREEK

Full Tide at Skippool Creek, River Wyre, Lancashire

Every so often I have the urge to look back to this time in years past.  This image is from the 3rd January 2012 at Skippool Creek on a very high Spring Tide…. shortly after this shot I had to move further back as the tide had not reached its peak.  Doesn’t seem like 8 years ago and yet another reminder of just how fast time can vanish.

Moody Monday……. Unsettled Weather

Rossall Point

Rossall Point, Fleetwood on Morecambe Bay, Lancashire.  At times this can be a very wild place, at others one of wild beauty with views across the bay to the distant Cumbrian Fells. The stormy weather does constantly change the shore line. Despite the many breakwaters and groynes along this part of the coast there is a constant shifting of the sands and channels. In this image you can see some wooden stumps, some times they are hidden below the shifting sands. I was told they were the wooden foundations of long gone wooden lighthouse that stood high above the tide on stilts.

As our weather has been rather unpredictable, swinging from one extreme to another, I thought this an appropriate image.  Who said this was summer!
