Description

Thank you for your comments on my red glow posting. Today a mudflat picture I found. I added a filter to create something special. The original picture definetely was not good enough. I like the emptiness and the impressiveness of the mudlands at the same time. The Mudflats are coastal wetlands that form when mud is deposited by the tides or rivers, sea and oceans. They are found in sheltered areas such as bays, bayous, lagoons, and estuaries. Mudflats may be viewed geologically as exposed layers of bay mud, resulting from deposition of estuarine silts, clays and marine animal detritus. Mudflats are typically important regions for wildlife, supporting a large population, although levels of biodiversity are not particularly high. They are often of particular importance to migratory birds. In the United Kingdom mudflats have been classifed as a Biodiversity Action Plan priority habitat. The maintenance of mudflats is important in preventing coastal erosion. However, mudflats worldwide are under threat from predicted sea level rises, land claims for development, dredging due to shipping purposes, and chemical pollution. Major world mudflats Wadden Sea: Netherlands, Germany, Denmark Bridgwater Bay & Morecambe Bay: United Kingdom Chongming Dongtan Nature Reserve, Shanghai, China Banc d'Arguin, Mauritania Lindisfarne Island, England San Francisco Bay, United States Cape Cod Bay, United States Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada Yellow Sea, Korea red glow

Strangely, around here in the past 30 years I have seen mudflats being filled in for development. It seems sad, however, with the increase of mosquito contacted disease, I find I don't argue too much with it. I don't know what the answer is... A really great shot and I do love the post work.

Always loved mudflats, but down in Louisiana they don't seem to be as big as these appear.

A very important habitat, and we are restoring many as they play a far more important role than was ever known before.. As for the postwork it lends a nice mood...
