Towards the castle

I took this photo on a bright sunny day in St. Helier, Jersey of people walking along the exposed sea bed up towards Elizabeth Castle.

Full size version of this photo is available on Flickr >

The sea goes out by more than a mile sometimes and others is right up to the sea wall and occasionally over it.

The area up to Elizabeth Castle looks incredible, a lot like some kind of alien landscape when the tide is out.

Add that to the few people walking towards the castle shown as a shadow and it looks like the end or opening sequence of some kind of sci-fi, post apocolyptic movie.

If I was more talented than I actually am I’d be inspired to write a story based on this photo - unfortunately I don’t have that much talent.
