    Yes there does seem to be a touch of special processing? A nicely composed image John with some interesting colour contrast across the scene.

    Nice use of foreground. Was this the Lindisfarne at which there was an abbey that the Vikings attacked in one of their first raids on England...

    I believe the answer is yes but will leave to John the definitive answer.

    Thanks for the comments all. Yes Richard, it is the very same. It sits on Holy Island just off the coast of Northumberland. It is connected to the mainland by a causeway. There is also a path that branches off to the far end of the Island, both of which become submerged as the tide comes in. If you call it up on Google Maps, you can also see the the platforms and huts on stilts to one side of the both that act as a refuge for the unfortunates that get stranded as the tides come in............. oh yes they do.
