Popcorn & I had a walk along the Fitties in the early morning sun, back in September. On this occasion we walked in the opposite direction to our usual walk along Marine Embankment.
I'm beginning to run out of recent photo's but have taken a lot this summer so will have to dip into my archives of earlier 2024 pics soon for future posts.

| This is the Buck Beck outfall which runs through Cleethorpes from the Lincolnshire Wolds and into the Humber Estuary at the Fitties. |
 |
| A few small saltwater lagoons in the dunes. |
 |
| Looking toward Cleethorpes, the Yorkshire coast can be seen on the far bank of the estuary. |
 |
| A Little Egret looking for small crabs and shrimps in a saltwater lagoon. The lagoons dry out in drought conditions but are then topped up again on the next extra high tide. |
 |
| These static holiday caravans have views out over the estuary. |
 |
| Driftwood washes up on the beach regularly. |
 |
| You may not be able to spot why I apparently took a photo of a bare sky? A large skein of Geese came over, if you're viewing this on a PC monitor or laptop you'll be able to see them. I love to see and hear the Geese going out in the morning and returning at dusk. |
 |
| Dogs aren't allowed on the main beaches at Cleethorpes but they are on the Fitties. It's just hoped their owners clear up after them. |
 |
| In the distance are moored yachts on the beach where we usually walk. |
 |
| Haile Sand Fort, seen framed by a breakwater. |
 |
| I very rarely take photographs where there's any children about, this little one is facing away so not a problem. I think mum on the left was keeping an eye on me but didn't object. |
 |
| This is where we usually begin our walk. |
 |
| Cleethorpes is "just" visible in the distance. |
 |
| This creek changes it's shape but will be familiar to you if you've seen my other posts from the Fitties. |
 |
| A view of the caravans at Thorpe Park to show how close they are to the beach here. In the distance the small white building is Cleethorpes Pier. Nikon Z6.2 with 24 - 70mm lens. |
I am fascinated by this area of such diverse beauty, both seascapes and landscapes. I can see why people would want to vacation overlooking it all but I imagine it gets crowded. I particularly like the photos with the wood structures. Very artistic shots so well composed. I look forward to seeing your archived photos as well. Take care. As always, Ann
ReplyDeleteAlso the photo of the walker with the dogs is especially wonderful with that sky, sand, sea, vegetation, etc. captured in one lovely shot. Well done! Ann
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased you liked these photo's and also this area. It's become one of our favourite places to walk, it gets very busy in the holiday season but for now and into the Spring it's just locals who go there.
DeleteTake care Ann, David.
Wonderful photos, David. How lovely that the Fitties allow dogs. Some of your photos here show some very happy pooches. I am about to post about a beach walk I took with my daughter here. Apart from our industry and your holiday caravans, they are rather similar locations. The geese flying in formation are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHello Val, this part of the Fitties is closer to the area our visitors go but when I took these the holiday season had all but finished. Thanks for visiting and commenting. Take care, David.
