Hi Pete, I live in West Kirby, funnily enough - have just moved back there temporarily, after growing up there in the late 70s and the 80s. Quite strange to see the Lake in its current state - it's interesting to see the tide come in and soak the promenade...something that hadn't happened since I was a small child, presumably due to the sluice gates like the one you've photographed above being opened. Anyway - I like the contrast here between the stillness of the Dee Estuary on the horizon and the more forceful water in the foreground.
