#Zanzibar gig back in 2006. Can't remember who unfortunately but it's a place I enjoyed learning how to photograph gigs 20 years ago. Shame to see its closing.

"Autumn equinox" - A little wander this morning. I overslept so missed the usual dip but the walk still did me good.

"September swim" - First dip this month. Fresh but not cold. Epic waves. Good fun. Looking forward to the dawn mornings later in the year. Going to be ace. Do wish I had a decent waterproof case for my camera. Currently using luck. They’re so expensive, but you get fascinating photos. These are iP

"Narrow channel" - The River Mersey is between 1 and 3 miles wide at various points, and yet only a narrow channel is safe for ships. You can just about see the green and red buoys showing where is safe to sail. Here a small boat skims across the top of a sandbank at low tide, with just enough water

"Y-Shaped Groyne – Liverpool Bay" - As the tide goes out a y-shaped groyne is revealed on New Brighton beach. This one is located at the end of the promenade and I imagine helps keep the beach area along the prom sandy.

"7m ebbing tide – Liverpool Bay" - Liverpool Bay just after a neap high tide of 7.55m. The sandbanks are submerged, as is most of the concrete groyne. The tide will get higher later in the year by at least 2 meters. Wonder how it’ll look?
