On the beach




Today's pictures were taken back in 2009 during a walk across to Hilbre Island
The first picture shows one of the many buoys that dot the beach on the way across to the islands.  I think that from this angle what is a fairly mundane object becomes quite interesting.

The second picture is of the the first in the small group of islands called Little Eye which almost completely disappears when the tide is high.  It is the point at which walkers from the mainland turn left and follow the rock pools and shoreline towards the other islands.

The third picture shows a view between the islands and the mainland looking towards Liverpool in the far distance.  You can see from this shot how oppressive the sky was on this particular day  but even when the sun isn't out "cracking the flags" Hilbre Island is a fantastic place to visit.
