Today we walked across the desolate but inspiring landscape of Steart Point. This relatively new nature reserve has reclaimed farmland for inter-tidal wetlands. Sitting adjacent to Bridgwater Bay it was, it is, a perfect location to breach the sea wall and, at high tide, let the Bristol Channel flow in. As the vegetation of the now named Steart Marsh changes to an esturine mix so in come the birds. That said today it was the wonderfully moody clouds that caught my attention. Small gaps allowed brighter shafts to appear, reflected in the water. Everywhere I looked there was a scene to take in but I particularly liked this one looking back to the Quantocks. It's hard to see but on the horizon to the right the sun had burst through illuminating a few fields. Quite mesmerising, plus taking this as a black and white image added to the magic.
