White sky sunny view tree trunk log with tall slanting branch on wet sand beach, south to low water channel River Ribble, Fairhaven, Lancashire, UK


Sunny day view of tree trunk log with tall slanting branch rising at one end lying on and reflecting in wet 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 high tide approaching 10 metres, in contrast, will flood the beach and reach the coastline (behind the camera), 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 log stayed for a few weeks before being washed away.
