Sometimes I don't have a single idea! What can I write? Then, my granddaughter sends me a photo of a high tide in the morning. (She's at the bus stop by the beach.) There's a proverb "A tide in the morning is not worth anything". There are no fishing boats here now, so that is not relevant. Why is the high tide so high? There is a full moon. Low tide is very low too. I found a report on "Cornwalllive". There is a record low tide, the lowest tide since February 2014. Photojournalist Greg Martin took some amazing photos of the remains of a submerged ancient forest in Mounts Bay. St Michael's Mount is called "The Grey Rock in the Wood". Many tree trunks, stumps and roots are exposed, as well as big patches of peat. Geologists used carbon dating on the peat. It is between 4,000 and 6,000 years old. Thank you, Greg Martin for the splendid pictures.
