HERE COMES THE BORE!




Still on the Severn but this time located around the Lower Parting area, this particular windy dusky evening I managed to catch a sequence of shots of the bore passing by.
In the top image you can see on the far side of the wave, 3 guys surfing.
The 2nd shot shows the support dinghy coming into view.
The last picture is the bore passing my position on the river bank.
In fact, I was concentrating so much looking through the camera's viewfinder (this was pre digital gear) that I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me, and as soon as I clicked photograph #3, I got soaked, because I was standing a bit too close to the edge. That's why there aren't anymore pictures in the sequence!
