LAYERS: Ghost of a Tree, Salt Marshes, Exmoor, UK

            The Salt Marshes by Porlock form a relatively new ecosytem. They were formed when the ridge in the pebble beach was breached (behind the tree) during a storm in 1996. Since then new species of flora and fauna have arrived, oftern at the cost of the previous residents. The saline incursion killed all of the trees.

In many ways ( colours, terrain, plants, etc.) these marshes are different from any other ecosystem in the National Park. 
I particularly like the layered effect of the image provided by the different plants, then then pebble ridge, the sea and the sky.

Thanks for every view, comment, fave, and encouragement.
