The blue sea is discoloured by pipe leakage as the dredger Shoalway (top left) pumps sand ashore onto Portman Ravine and Fisherman's Walk beaches, Poole Bay, Dorset. The material is then distributed by two bulldozers and an excavator to level the area. It is only 18 months since the operation was performed at this location and the beach didn't seem to need replenishment, but obviously others disagree. Perhaps it was because a significant amount of material was taken from this site for the second attempt to build the ill-fated - read: doesn't work - Boscombe Surf Reef.

* The title of this post is an acknowledgement to Jimi Hendrix, who died 40 years ago today - arguably the best electric guitar player who ever lived.
