Sunday Morning Stroll

A Bay near Silverdale, originally uploaded by Bay Photographic.

A short walk from Arnside took me to Silverdale this morning. The coast here is so undeveloped and natural, it could be 1950. Or 1850. The tide was out, and in Morecambe Bay that means OUT, but the sands were still shining from the receding water. The Bay has a justifiably fearsome reputation for quicksand and the speed of the incoming tide, but even so, I was tempted to walk out a short way to take a picture looking back to shore. But I didn't. Age has taught me few lessons, but I think there is little dignity to be had in perishing on a glorious day like today for the sake of a better angle.
