My #book @TheGreatFloodOf1607 is available in all formats from #physical & #online stores. It describes the impact, extent and aftermath of the disaster that struck #SouthWales, #SevernEstuary, #SometsetLevels as far as #Glastonbury. It’s also a warning that such an event could happen again
Some extreme processing fun - Severn Estuary sunset and a Raven at Cannup Ponds, Forest of Dean. The little dots on the shoreline in the second one are all Curlew. @gloswildlife.bsky.social #wildlifeart #extremeprocessing #forestofdean #severnestuary #severnbridges #photoart

Introducing the final habitat of the series: Saltmarshes 🌿
Salt-tolerant plants thrive here to create one of the Severn Estuary’s most important and extensive habitats — the largest area of saltmarsh in the south and southwest of the UK.

Next in the series: intertidal mudflats 🌊
These sheltered habitats may look quiet, but they support specialist species uniquely adapted to life in the Severn Estuary. Stay tuned for more habitats coming soon.

Sea is dead calm and t=in the middle is a Cardinal Mark or Bouy and the hills in the back is Devon.
#CardinalMark I think it signs "east" probably right for the rocks not visible. Bit of #Devon in the back there. Leaning to the left, tide coming in, leaning to the right, tide going out. But dead calm today.

The buttress that forms Porthcawl Pier, I am looking towards #TreccoBay and #Newton
Same pier but with a bit of a blow on. The light house standing to the storm. Lifeboat station to the left of the white Coats Watch watch tower.
Waves crashing over Porthcawl Pier. The people are safe.
Main body of Porthcawl Pier. Low spring tides you can get to this side. Neap tides not really. This is what stands in the way of the waves to get those spectacular shots of waves crashing over.
#BristolChannel leading to the #SevernEstuary has quite a high tidal range. A low spring tide vs a storm at high tide at #Porthcawl #pier in #SouthWales
#RNLI station is at the top of the pier. Drop some loot in if you are passing.
Now waiting for this years storms to roll in.
Porthcawl driftwood dinosaur looking out to sea.
Driftwood that the locals named Lizzy the Lizard. A decent storm and the water is over the railing on the left, so will this still be here next year.
#Porthcawl wayward dinosaur, Lizzie, staring down the waves.
Will this #driftwood make it through the winter. Spring tide and a decent on shore storm and the waves are up over where I am.
#Somerset and #Devon across the #BristolChannel #Sea #SevernEstuary
My #book @TheGreatFloodOf1607 describes the disaster, some thought to be punished by god. Recently thought a tsunami that swept southb#Wales & #SevernEstuary. Bristol under 8 foot, reached Glastonbury. Includes other disasters, even frozen #Severn. In all formats from all bookstores
