Blue sky white clouds sunny day view, looking south to the River Ribble and Douglas Commplex Gas Rig in Liverpool Bay, wide dry flat beach expanse with wind-blown sand accumulating around a tree trunk with a tall slanting branch rising from one end and reflecting on the beach. The tidal range on the beach varies. A 7 metre high tide covers only a small section of beach, allowing large areas to dry out and blow in the wind. A 10 metre high tide, in contrast, will flood the beach and reach the coastline (behind the camera), leaving the beach wet at low tide. Tree remains, derived from bank erosion in the upper reaches of the River Ribble, are occasionally washed onto the beach by the high tide. This trunk, lying with a tall, slanting branch at one end reflecting in the beach sand, stayed for a few weeks before being washed away. Others, in contrast, may be washed nearer and nearer the coastline, where they may be cut up and removed.
