When I flew a few weeks back form London to Brussels I spotted this scene out the windowA massive stretch of beach, so I did some googling, and nowhere I am And I noticed all these ponds from the end of the road to the beach Wondering if they are natural marshes or man made ponds and what's with these black duc......hang on, they're not real. The swans in the photo above were and hang on, that's not a WWII era bunker like so many around here ( more on that later ) and again the fake ducks. Obviously to attract real ones, to then be shot form the bunker hide out. Cheap, that ain't sport,  on from the ponds, towards what I hope will be this big stretch of beach I saw from the air that's man made, feeding or dealing with overflow from those ponds out to sea getting wider, and the man made canal becoming very wide and shallow, can cross it here so vast yep, this is the spot looking back towards land lots of these floating around some sort of eggs  I just found myself a photo shoot location :-) reminding me of the salt lakes in Australia when they have a small amount of rain water on them looking towards the sea, still a lot of sand up ahead looking south part of a boat storm damage and then drifted on here looking east, walked quite a bit and still not at the beach looking west and a way to go yet zooming in on the boat more things drifted on the beach woauw,this actually looks like an old bottle ( it is ) looking south again, and that would be the port of Calais with the Mountains of Cap Du Griz nez in the background What's with these 3 tracks  ? getting closer to sea crab trap ? starting to see the beach now so vast love it and there she is this must come in a fair way, it's just 2 hours since low tide looking east, back to where I came from  mussel farm ? with sick righthander, except that that wave is not even half a foot :-) ahaaa 3 tracks mystery solved, looks like fun sahara sand dunes from way above ? Does this photo remind anyone of another particular south australian photo, right answer wins an Oreo biscuit hint, instead of in sand its salt and high clouds, cumulus he's back again, going in closer for a look looks like fun of he goes and 10 min later back again with 2 of his mates why the helmets ?not like you gonna hit a tree or a lamp post  heading back now, another location I want to check out 35 km away ha, by chance, I cross my own path back past the duck ponds, but now I hear a lot more ducks and see more hunters turns out they bring some live ones as well so the visual in the water and the audible from the live ones to attract the wild ones
