Blakeney was a commercial seaport until the early 20th century. Now the harbour is silted up, and only small boats can make their way out past Blakeney Point to the sea. The harbour and surrounding marshes are owned by the National Trust and is a nature reserve where seals can be seen basking on the sand. (from wikipedia)

Corpach wreck - A rising high tide on Loch Linnhe with the late afternoon light picking out the colours of the Corpach wreck under a dynamic sky.
Formerly the MV Dayspring, she now sits abandoned high (and normally dry) on Loch Linnhe resting where she ran aground on the shingle beach during a storm in December 2011. A magnet for us photographers and a must visit location when up on the West Coast of Scotland to see what conditions will present themselves when in the presence of this charismatic old wreck.
Corpach, Highland Scotland

Wreck of the SS Nornen, Berrow, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, UK
I really can't get used to the new layout on here!👎
Sorry for absence and lack of replies/comments - will try and do better in next week as have a few days off and hoping to have a bit of dry weather for some shooting in east Sussex/Kent.
This shot was taken a little earlier than the last one from a more head-on angle to the wreck of the SS Nornen.
I know to some it will seem quite similar to the last shot and I can understand that. In this one though I liked that the sun was not in the shot to draw the eye, the refinery is visible in the background and just a hint of a rainbow there too that I didn't notice at the time.
For me the clouds that I got that afternoon/evening were the highlight to this old wreck.
I won't be posting whilst I'm away but will try to catch up on acknowledging comments and commenting. How those on several Social Media sites keep up I'll never know!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

This is a shot of the Maheno wreck on Fraser Island Australia, which I've taken 10 years ago on my Down Under trip.
Don't blame me about picture quality! At this time, I owned only a simple point and shoot camera and it was the beginning of my passion to photography.
Ribs, weights and an old engine are all that remain of this wreck half covered by shingle on Selsey West Beach, West Sussex, UK.
Cefn Sidan sands is a 13km long beach at Pembrey, west Wales. As it directly faces the Atlantic and the prevailing winds, it is little surprise that it is the site of many shipwrecks.
Official figures show there have been 182 ships lost on these sands since logging details of these events began in 1668.
Despite these records, only a couple of the currently-visible wrecks, exposed after severe storms in 2014, have been positively identified.
Local experts believe this particular wreck is either the SS Brothers which ran aground in 1833, or the French ship Marie Therese which foundered in 1907. The conjecture is that it is probably the latter as it is in (relatively) too good condition to have been there for almost 200 years!
