Description One of the few warm and sunny days we had in Norfolk. This is at Blakeney Quay.

Update - just spotted this in the "more from deviant art" panel - looks like I'm not the only one to like this boat.

Curious! How far out was the tide? Beautiful shot Jon. =^.^=

Hmm, hard to say - maybe as much as a mile but as it is so flat it comes in fast. We had a meal in Wells one evening, overlooking the quayside, and the water level rose 6-8 feet in less than an hour - quite exciting.


A cormorant that had been snoozing on the bank until the tide turned suddenly ducked underwater and caught a huge fish in seconds, must have been biding his time.


Thanks Dawn

Certainly looked like it had seen a bit of life but was undergoing a big restoration - quite trendy close up.

Many Thx - one of loads that I took but then its hard to decide which ones to edit out and discard.

motherearth01 In reply to DriPoint [2013-09-27 21:16:07 +0000 UTC]

I have the same problem, so what I do. I take the ones that I think are the best,edit and upload for viewing,selling and add the others to an external hard drive. What I do with those, I upload as stock at my other account, for others to use and then discard them.

Thats brilliant - never thought of a second account. Might give that a go. Whats your other account url?

motherearth01 In reply to DriPoint [2013-09-29 19:46:23 +0000 UTC]

I opened that account so that "Artists" don't have to worry about using my stock. Except just credit because there are so many, Stock Artist's who are very strict on stock and with reason. I do it for fun and as a hobby, so my excess work gets uploaded for someone else's interest and then I delete it, off my hard drive. That way, I have free space on my hard drive for more important things.

Interesting.  Is it in the desert sort of?

DriPoint In reply to Andaelentari [2013-09-27 06:51:45 +0000 UTC]

Its a wide expanse of very low lying, flat coastal salt marsh so the tide will cover it daily.

Lucky for me it was in quite an accessible place.
