This time, Oare next...

I'm spending the week in Kent with Nic; drinking tea; eating cake and taking photographs. The UK is forecast to have storm conditions in the next 24 hours or so, with severe risk of flooding due to a coincidental tide surge, so we make the most of it while we can.

It has been overcast all day, but the cloud is expected to break during late afternoon. So, before we visit Oare Marshes for a photo shoot, we visit nearby Faversham for some of the aforementioned tea and cake (we had coffee, but it doesn't quite have the same ring).

The weather does its stuff as forecast (well done, The Met Office), and we are treated to beautiful light and a spectacular sunset across the marsh. There is plenty to point a lens at on the marshes, and one of these days I will make more of the numerous wrecks that litter Oare creek (below), but as they are unaccessible on foot due to the mud flats it will have to wait until I am carrying much longer lenses and a tripod.

Maybe next time.
