Causeway sunset

A far more muted Sunset today, not the riot of bright colours captured from Puckpits; the Sun over the River Avon disappears beyond the cloud strewn horizon through risings mists, growing in density by the moment. Just as colourful, yet more diffused and pastel in nature. The low laying land around the causeway, no longer fit for cattle, becomes an extended playground come feeding area for myriads of Swans and other water foul. Historically this area would have been wet throughout the year, a wetland estuarine environment, packed with resources and popular with humans since the Mesolithic, and in all likelihood far beyond that in to our most distant past.
