River Otter Estuary

a wonderful image for today, Environment preservation day!

I had not idea Annemarie.............who thinks up all these "special days"?

Glad you like the photo...........many thanks.

Preciosa fotografía.

Thanks very much Juan Luis.

I know this scene, Keith, but we were there at low tide, so it didn't look quite the same. The pine trees are the clue.

I guessed you would know this place Amelia...........I never tire of visiting. The views are stunning. Thanks for dropping by.

Very good Keith,. those pines have a continental look about them,.. it seems a fine area for a visit too ,.. Cheers from Dj.

Thanks David.............glad you like this one. It's near to where my daughter lives in Exmouth and I try and visit every time we're in Devon.

Btw,. I went into a store to buy an Otter,.. the manager asked do you want just a plain Otter' or a water Otter,... I said I'll have a 'Water Otter''... he sold me an electric kettle.

Ha ha ha

Oh dear :-))) I'll get your coat..!!

Wonderful colours!

Thank you Stephan.

Da hast du einen besonderen Ort gezeigt lieber Keith,diese Bäume sehen richtig schön und interessant aus und auch diese verschiedenen Grün und Rottöne sind toll,eine wunderschöne Bildgestaltung ist das :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Many thanks Güni...........glad you like it. It really is a special place!

Looks like a bonsaï forest on a rock... +++++++++

You're right............It does :-)). Thanks for dropping by Isabel.

Beautiful colours and lovely light in this nicely captured panoramic view Keith
Another winner!

Cheers Roger...........it's one of my fave places to visit in Devon..........glad you like it.

Oh I've wandered around this area in my time, when my children were younger, and we lived in Exeter - we used to go to places like this on Sundays - to explore the area.

Glad to have brought back some memories for you Jenny..............many thanks.

A nice landscape in beautiful colors !

Thanks very much Ulrich..............glad you think so.

Ich mag die Baumreihen auf dem Hügel. Und sie spiegeln sich so schön.
Eine wunderbare Landschaftsaufnahme!

Thank you so much Wilhelm...........glad you like it.

schitterende dennen--aparte flex

Thanks Fred.

Very elegant.

Many thanks John.

Looks like a nice place!

It really is Eunice................and one of my favourites.

A very nice and tranquil scene Keith. I presume that otters were or are still in these waters. Great stuff, well done.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Glad you like this one Herb............it's one of my favourite places in Devon. I believe you're correct about the otters, but I've never been lucky enough to see one.

Man könnte denken, es herrscht Wasserknappheit..oder täuscht das?
Am Fluss..immer wieder schön und ich bin sehr froh, dass auch ich an einem Fluss lebe....

No water shortage Tanja.........this is the estuary where the river meets the and it's more like a wetlands area. It is in the process of being "re-wilded" and there is a lot of work going on.

There's another photo here www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/51873766 with more of an explanation if you want to know more.

I have a very similar photo taken about 7 years ago Keith. I love the trees and the estuary reflects them beautifully.

I thought you might recognise this place Rosa..........there's an awful lot of work going on there at the moment..........to re-wild the whole area.

There's a link in my reply to Tanjs (above) if you're interested.

The pines and their reflections look marvellous, as does the warm red sandstone. A beautiful photo!
