In the background is the breakwater and part of Brownsea Island.<br /> <br /> Poole harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world, although it is very shallow there is a dredged channel for access. The harbour is a Ria (or flooded river valley) and is an estuary of several rivers - the biggest being the River Frome.<br /> <br /> The harbour contains eight islands, of which Brownsea Island is the largest. Brownsea Island has many claims to fame; it is now in the hands of the National Trust and is stronghold to the lovely native red squirrel. There is a nature reserve and the island is generally a haven to wildlife. In 1907 it hosted the first camp of the Boy Scout movement founded by Lord Baden-Powell.<br /> <br /> I admit to cloning out a tiresome green channel marker from this image as I felt it ruined the balance of it and broke up the natural blues.<br /> <br /> Taken on a day trip to Bournemouth and Poole.<br /> <br /> I finally put my final four films in for developing at the weekend - they were shot... oh... about three years ago! :S We shall see how they come out - I am having them transferred to CD so will be able to upload any that are any good. It's been so long I don't even know whats on them!! :)</p> Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:49:18 -0700 2009-08-08T17:56:38-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (clivester) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/3812476542 50.711902 -1.980339 50.711902 -1.980339 31463 IMG_101_0065[a] <p>Poole Harbour, Dorset - 8th August 2009 17:56<br /> A small boat sits in the calm water within the breakwater that surrounds the Quay in Poole.
