View of tree trink with tall, vertical branch lying on wet beach sand expanse towards white yellow sunse, Fairhaven, Lytham, UK
A summer sunset view of a tree trunk with tall, vertical branch lying on a vast, flat, wet expanse of beach sand, some distance out from Fairhaven, Lytham St Annes. The tidal range on the beach varies. A 7 metre high tide covers only a small section of beach, allowing large areas to dry out and blow in the wind. A 10 metre high tide, in contrast, will flood the beach and reach the coastline (right of shot), leaving the beach wet at low tide. Tree remains, derived from bank erosion in the upper reaches of the River Ribble, are occasionally washed onto the beach by the high tide. This trunk, with near-vertical branch, stayed for a few weeks, before being washed away. Others, in contrast, may be moved nearer and nearer the coastline, where they may be cut up and removed.
