Creation is a marvelous thing. I cannot believe that this marvelous planet of ours just evolved. For me there must be a creator God. I took these photos today (2nd March 2010) of the Severn Bore - truely a magnificent sight! Although I must admit to being disappointed it wasn't bigger.
Today's bore had a five star rating (the highest and therefore the biggest). For those of you who don't know - the bore is a 'natural phenomenon' that produces a wave up to 5 meters high that travels against the normal river flow and happens twice a day around the spring and autumn equinox.
At the moment I am writing an essay on the Severn Barrage which has been proposed as a way of producing 'green' energy. However, a 10 mile concrete barrage between Cardiff and Weston-Super-Mare would have an enormous impact on the environment. Localized flooding would increase, mudflats would be lost thereby significantly reducing the feeding ground for about 69,000 birds, the passage of migrating fish would be blocked, etc, etc...
Essays... now there's another story...
