Thomas a becket church
St Thomas à Becket Church in Fairfield stands alone in a field on the Marsh, surrounded by water courses and sheep. A causeway was built in 1913, and until then the church was more often than not surrounded by water during the winter and spring.
The church is dedicated to St Thomas à Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170.
Legend has it that the Archbishop was journeying across the dangerous Romney Marsh, when he fell into one of the many ditches. He prayed to St.Thomas, as he came up for the second time, for a miracle to save him from a watery death. Just in time a farmer arrived to save him, and in gratitude the Archbishop had the little church built and dedicated to St Thomas a Becket.

The spring tides is one of the few occassions to get the lighthouse in the water. High tide was around 8.30am. I originally headed for Marine Lake, in Weston-super-mare, but the walkway was entirely under water. I decided to head down to Burnham.
When I arrived, the tide was just turning. A sea mist was in the air. I planned a 10-stop image and was not disappointed. The Lee Big Stopper has a blue cast, but rather than convert to mono, I decided to keep it. I thought a pano crop would give a feelng of isolation.
The Westfjords or West Fjords (Icelandic: Vestfirðir [ˈvɛstˌfɪrðɪr̥], ISO 3166-2:IS: IS-4) is a large peninsula in northwestern Iceland and an administrative district, the least populous administrative district. It lies on the Denmark Strait, facing the east coast of Greenland. It is connected to the rest of Iceland by a seven-kilometre-wide isthmus between Gilsfjörður and Bitrufjörður. The Westfjords are very mountainous; the coastline is heavily indented by dozens of fjords surrounded by steep hills. These indentations make roads very circuitous and communications by land difficult. In addition many of the roads are closed by ice and snow for several months of the year. The Vestfjarðagöng road tunnel from 1996 has improved that situation. The cliffs at Látrabjarg comprise the longest bird cliff in the northern Atlantic Ocean and are at the westernmost point in Iceland. The Drangajökull glacier is located in the north of the peninsula and is the fifth-largest of the country, but the only glacier of the region.

This sunrise from Cadillac Mountain is a little misleading. It may look like the isolated lady is enjoying the sunrise by herself, but anyone that has been on top of this mountain can attest to the hundreds of folks that swarm this location (depending on the time of year). It was no different on this morning, but this bit of isolation among the swarm did catch my eye.
Thanks for looking!
