East Hoyle Bank
The opportunity arose for a shoot here as I was taking my car in for repair in nearby Liverpool at 0900, and I noticed high tide was 1045 over here so it would have been rude not to have a mooch across (or rather under) The River Mersey....
First shot of the day with the tidal breakers leading out into Liverpool Bay and the Irish sea.
I did quite well with getting this as not too long afterwards it aboslutely lashed it down with rain. The 10 stop hadn't been out for ages so thought it was time....
I think I got 3 images I like from this shoot on the Wirral (I did 2 other spots too) , which is great from a bonus trip, I have to take the car in again in a week or so so another trip will be made I think and see what else I can get this time, I'm not sure they will give me a courtesy car again though as the footwell and the boot were totally covered in sand when I took it back lol :-)

Thought i'd match the music to the pic again....... Life regret, never getting to see these live, I blame a mate who borrowed an REM and Husker Du LP from the record library (remember those!) and told us the Husker one was pants, still not forgiven him!
Sunset as the tide comes in, I can think of worse ways to spend the evening.....watching England in the World Cup is a good example
I can only apologise and supply you with a fine tune from County Durham.
New Brighton groynes, or sea defences or whatever you want to call them!
or is it Derwentwater...???
