Saltwick Bay

[Ken Rennie]

A belated congratulations on your anniversary of throwing off the yolk of British imperialism. This is the same location as the monochrome image posted yesterday, the driftwood image was taken the evening before and 2 show the edge of the stone shelf that the wreck sits on. I have included the original colour version of the wreck that I liked until I converted it to monochrome. Comments/ critique welcome, as always Ken

Oh my - this looks like a more fun place to play than I imagined after the wreck shot. I love that piece of driftwood in the first image. The flowing water isolates it nicely. I also like the last image of the shelf area with the more pronounced water flows across the shelf.

Alan I would love to get to the wreck with waves breaking around it but it is too dangerous. The cliffs behind are approx 200 ft high with frequent rock falls and last year a 9 yr old died near here when parts of the cliff fell on to her. While I was here I could here small rockslides all along the cliffs. This part of the coast is eroding at approx 10ft per year with people having to vacate their houses as the cliff edges ever closer. I suppose a drone could do take the images that I envisage but I am not a fan. Ken

I like the tones in all of these, Ken. I especially like the first image. That would have been a perfect image for the intimate view contest this week.

I agree Douglas it is almost a perfect example of an intimate seascape but this taken on Friday morning so a little too late. Ken

The area of maximum erosion is from Bridlington in Yorkshire down to Spurn head, see map. I overestimated the average erosion which would seem to be approx 6 feet per year but is one of the greatest areas of erosion in Europe with many villages now under the sea
