"The Fishtail"

In 2017  a new groyne, or breakwater, was constructed on our beach.  I photographed part of it's construction and posted that on this blog, click the link below if you want to see that.

A few days ago I photographed the finished groin which is known locally as "The Fishtail" for obvious reasons.

  1. The fishtail looks great, very imaginative. Interesting to see the photos of the making of the groin - who could have guessed then what it would become.

    1. Thank you Mike, I should have followed this up sooner with a "finished" pic. Better late than never.

  2. What a great design and I like the shadows and perspectives in your photos. The breakwater has a very organic look to it with the variety of natural stone colors. I am accustomed to seeing granite blocks on the breakwaters of New England due to the availability of course.

    1. The blocks were brought by a sea going barge, across the North Sea from Holland. Thank you for commenting Ann.
