This is an image taken under rather dull conditions of the Oxley Marshes and River Ore just to the west of North Weir point which is the southern most tip of Orford Ness.

The marshes in the foreground are very low lying but protected by embankments and they are mainly used for grazing, the building in the left being Oxley House dairy. In the background is the arable farmland surrounding the village of Hollesley with the Hollesley Bay Colony buildings in the centre.

The shingle beach at this point is in a continuous state of change as storms and tides erode and deposit the material that has been transported southwards along the spit by longshore drift.

Notice the arrow like wake caused by a boat travelling upstream against the flow of the water.
