Cramond Island Causeway

Tidal Surge I
Cramond Island Causeway
by Dee Eff

The old naval defences leading out to Cramond Island, at this end of the causeway it is about 10ft or more above the ground or beach level and during taking this shot I was nervously glancing back to the shore as the tide had begun to just lap over the top of the causeway. Decided to beat a hasty retreat as I hadn't packed my swimming costume!
