The Scale of Mother Nature's Reclamation

This couple had to swim the gap in the breached sea wall during their run! They show the current size of the breach, which is now probably beyond repair, the sea now covers the entire field at high tide.
Oh I love this! You were at the right place and time!

A moment of serendipity for you, the photographer! Fav.

Nuts or brave!

Amazing how red tape and who pays for what can prevent a simple repair......I love the perspective these guys give it.

The couple adapted well, seems when Mother Nature wants something, she gets it. Was this damage caused by severe weather?

How interesting. It looks like someone has hung the laundry out to dry on that line. I can’t imagine why no one would try and fix this before it got this far. Superb documentation

It is very dangerous swimming in a place like this.

A cool shot

@Dawn breaks my heart to see the damage, but nature will win and I saw egrets, herons and a kestrel happily living in the newly formed saltmarsh
@haskar certainly is here,close to sewage outfall and sharp rocks. Tide wascoming in still
@grammyn that's long fronds of seaweed Katy
@theredcamera severe storms in 2019 Ellen, and then progressive storms, tide and the age of the wall.
@casablanca cheaper to let nature take over
@wakelys bonkers and naive!!
@will_wooderson I had to be quick to get them,they were off and running again so quickly
@joansmor it's a sad sight
@ludwigsdiana and had the right lens for a change!!!

The sea walls are falling down all around the harbour, with petitions to sign to protect them. The Harbour Conservancy and Council both say the damaged protective barriers are nothing to do with them, they're owned by an unknown private individual. Why do we have a Land Registry in this country if we cannot trace who owns our coastline??!!

Who ever owns it, no money will, or can, be spent and nature will reclaim what was taken away when the defenses were built (unless the sea goes into a rich person's garden perhaps?!)

It's coming for you Jackie & Sue (@wakelys). Is this where you had been fossicking?
