The Severn Bore is a large surge wave that can be seen in the river estuary, where the tidal range is the 2nd highest in the world, as much as 50 feet (about 15.4m).
We arrived at about 9.30am - the ETA of the bore was 10.05am. Quite a few people showed up for this Easter Sunday spectacular. The river was so still, but for a very gentle current. No wind, and happily, no rain.
Some cool reflections going on...
A bit of waiting and enjoying time with family...
The bore finally arrived at about 10.15am, to much excitement of those gathered on the river bank...
It passed by with a few speedboats on its crest and in its wake...
And then it was gone, as fast as it had arrived!
It's years since I have been down to the river to witness this phenomenon - what a way to start off Easter Sunday!
