The bench is the main focus however you do need to stand to see the Sunset, The sea wall has to be this high to cope with the vast tidal range,
HWW from Burnham on Sea!

Hi Roger
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like a great deal!
Very nice composition, with great colours.
However, I do wonder about the point of putting a bench when all you can see is a concrete wall.
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thank you, Peter, I do agree, although this is the northern end of a very long promenade so a bench to rest on before the return journey is welcomed by many,

Wonderful capture. The wall is a possible testament to the rising sea level.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Don Sutherland club
Thank you, Don, It was built when parts of the old wall were washed away in a storm in the early 1980s.

Don Sutherland club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Very interesting information. In the NY area, there is more and more evidence of the rising sea level (higher tides, erosion of areas now reached by storm surges, etc.).
12 days ago.
Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Don Sutherland club
The bay has a tidal range of 15 metres (49 ft) reputedly
the second highest in the world, so with a strong wind water levels can already exceed those heights

Sehr schöner Weg am Deich mit vielen Ruheplätzen. Leider ist die Sicht etwas behindert durch den Deich, aber besser als das Wasser bis zum Hals ;-)) HBM und eine angenehme Woche, Roger.

Many thanks Edna, appreciated!

One can't see the sunset while sitting on one of those benches? Well, perhaps if one sits on a heap of cushions?? ;-)

It then becomes a choice of standing or moving to a bench on higher ground, some are available
