Shrimper Sixty-Six.
With the prospect of a decent sunset, I popped to the coast and what an eventful evening on the "longest day of the Year".
I had a recce at Sandylands before I went to the location pictured here. I didn't find anything that grabbed me there, so I walked back to the car. As I did so, a young couple were heading along the walkway towards me on their cycles when suddenly the young lady inadvertently clashed into her partners bike and she crashed heavily. It was clear she was badly injured, I ran over and she had fractured her right arm and possibly her collar bone too. So I provided first aid and called an ambulance. That took quite a while and after finding a local resident to provide a blanket and pillow for her, it was a wait for the Ambulance which actually came pretty quickly.
Anyway, I still had about 45 minutes until sunset, so I went near the Midland Hotel and put my wellies on and headed out onto the receding tide to a couple of the "Shrimping boats" that were quickly being left high and dry.
Here is one of the first shots I took before I saw a lovely golden sunset. It certainly felt like the longest day!
