SEAHAM 06 11 10

WITH THE FAMILY TAKING A TRIP TO DALTON PARK

I WAS OFFERED A CHANCE TO GO TO SEAHAM AGAIN

THE TIDE WAS HIGH AND ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T ROUGH THE SEA WAS DANGEROUS

THE WAVES COME IN SO QUICKLY

I MYSELF GOT SOAKED BY THE INCOMING TIDE

AS SOON I ARRIVEDTHE AREA NEAR SEAHAM PIER IS EXPOSED

THE "BEACH" GOES DOWN IN STEPS

AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOGRAPH

ONLY THE FIRST STEP WAS VISIBLE

I DIDN'T GET MUCH SEA GLASS

THE BEST PIECE IS SHOWN BELOW

THE DAY'S FINDS

NOT MUCH ,I KNOW.

BLUE LAGOON 06 11 10

THE BLUE LAGOON GETS IT'S OWN POST TODAY

BELOW...THE VIEW ACROSS THE BEACH TOWARDS THE RIVER.

THE EARLY MORNING SUN WAS STUNNING.

THE TIDE LINES IN THE SHELTERED PART OF THE LAGOON REMIND ME OF GROWTH RINGS ON A TREE.

THE TIDE WAS THE LOWEST THAT I CAN EVER REMEMBER.

THE LOW TIDE COMBINED WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF SAND GOING FROM THE BEACH,EXPOSED THE OLD SHIP BELOW.

WITH SUCH A LOW TIDE I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE A SHIP HEADING DOWN THE RIVER AND OUT TO SEA.

THE SHIP ALMOST CLEAR OF THE RIVER MOUTH PASSING SOUTH GARE.
