Walking on Water Photo

Photographer’s Note

Holidaymakers walk round the paddling pool, just before high tide. A wee bit later the water was too high to get round safely.

When the tide goes out a bit the children can paddle around in the water held in by the wall. On a hot day it's shallow enough to warm up.

North Berwick used to be a popular holiday destination for people from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle, often arriving by train. When cheap air flights arrived British seaside resorts like this suffered a decline. Perhaps with the credit crunch and more environmental awareness their time will come again?

Hi Alastair,
this image is very interesting and curious. The sharpness is very good and the background is a excellent completion of the image.
Regards.
