Catering for high and low tide....

Broome jetty....

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That looks to be quite elevated. Does the tide really go out that much? I love how the white wood stands out so brightly.

Great capture

[Jane Pittenger]

Wow. That is fascinating

[Rick]

Cool capture. That does seem like a big tide change.

[Babs]

Is the lower jetty under water at high tide

[Diana]

Such a wonderful scene, amazing the tide difference.

[Renee Salamon]

Lovely composition - I love the colour subtlety of the layers of blues

[Wylie]

the tides there are amazing, we nearly got caught out, but I don't remember seeing the jetty!

Hi Anne, Rick, Babs and Diana. Thanks for your interest - and the tides really can be that different. At certain times of the month the difference between high and low tide can be 8m. This only happens in a few parts of Australia but is quite something. Cheers Rob

Interesting to see.

@pusspup Hi Wylie - I think this big new jetty and its surrounds are relatively new. It's called Town Beach and has been really nicely landscaped and set up for relaxing times .
I really related to your comment - after we left Broome we saw something about a guy driving a truck onto the beach and getting caught. It happens crazily quickly. Cheers Rob

Wonderful composition. The white pier is a fabulous leading line.

[Merrelyn]

They were still working on this when we last in Broome. The tides up that way are incredible.

A great capture!
