MENAI STRAIT

Not much to add here, other than to tell you that this is a picture of the Menai Strait between the two bridge crossings when the tide was out a few Sundays ago, and to point out that when the tide goes out, it really goes out.

It's a good spot for bird-watching, though...

The bridge is, of course, the modern appearance of Robert Stephenson's Britannia Bridge, the second main link from Anglesey to the mainland, which was completed in 1850 and then much redesigned after a devastating fire in 1970.

A bit of engineering, a bit of bird-watching, and a little bit of peace and tranquility...

Really, what more could you ask for...?
