Got me onto Google sat maps to find the location. Interesting place I walked around with the little yellow man. Love the openness there across the river. Can you walk across onto the little island?

Tidal Rob - it ebbs and flows

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Chris! I should have known.

Julian - yes, you can walk out to the island, but you have to read the notice with tidal times. Some teenagers decided to have a rave there last year, and got stranded. A mini Dunkirk-style evacuation ensued!

You can see the path out to the island in this shot I took some time ago:

Amazing . The path is much more substantial than I presumed from googie maps.
Superb clouds in this one.

Thanks, Julian. Never known a bad sky day there.

I like it in B&W Rob.

Thanks, Brian.

Love the tones and treatment Rob. Dare I ask? Does it slope?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Still a Flat Earther, Pete? I'll let you into a secret - the world is curved!

 

[Pete Askew]

You can't fool me that easily Rob. You'll be telling me we go round the sun next!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Some of us do, Pete...
