The Tidal Tweet

Up nice and early today to watch the most spectacular display that mother nature can provide.  There was a heavy steam rising from the surface of the river as today's tidal wave past. I hope the pictures do it justice. Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment.  I did tweet a commentary as the wave passed.  Have a look @TheSolarShed

  1. Pretty impressive. Where does the steam come from?

    1. Hi,

      The steam rises as soon as the sun hits the water. Last night we had a frost so it was about -1 at 7am. As the sun got over the bank it hits the water and you see what appears to be steam. It isn't actually steam as that needs to be very hot water, but its the same effect. Cold water, hot sun and that's all you need. Best in Late Autumn and late spring for the effects that i saw today. Never in Mid summer.
