Low tide on a meandering stretch of the River Wear, just a short distance downstream from Queen Alexandra Bridge in Sunderland, NE England.
The low tide exposing banks of silt on either side got me thinking – has there always been this amount of silt exposed at low tide?
They used to build some big ships in the yards either of the river just past that bend, so I'm assuming the river must had been dredged back in the day.
My other thought is, if the silt is slowing building up, does it affect the overall dynamics of the river in terms of height at high tide and river flow?
The Earl of Durham, on behalf of Queen Alexandra, officially opened the bridge on 10 June 1909.
Prior to the bridge, road traffic crossing the river had to use one of two ferries, one of which operated from the spot where I took this photograph.

Took this photograph a few days ago from Wylam Wharf on the south bank of the River Wear in Sunderland, NE England.
When I came to add a caption, I discovered that, after all these years, whenever I had been referring to the dwellings pictured here on the north bank of the river near Wearmouth Bridge, I have been describing them as the 'Bonnersfield Apartments'.
Turns out, I that's wrong and they are in fact 'Bonners Raff'.
So, what is a 'raff' I wondered.
My go-to search engine came back explaining that a 'raff' is a term meaning rubbish, refuse, or a disreputable rabble of people (as in 'riffraff'!).
However, the good news for those who live at Bonners Raff and who might not want to be thought of in such derogatory terms, the reference to 'raff' in this case is historical one.
'Bonners Raff' is actually a reference to one John Bonner (1741–1811), who operated a timber 'raff' (yard) in the area, known as 'Bonnersfield'.

Altro...I seem to have taken quite a few photographs this last week in the summer heat that includes the River Wear, which flows through the heart of Sunderland.
This view, looking upstream at high tide, features the three city centre crossings of Wearmouth Bridge, Monkwearmouth Rail Bridge and the newest, Keel Crossing, the pedestrian and cycle bridge than links the city centre to the Sheepfolds area on the north side of the river.
The Keel Crossing have become Sunderland's 'Wembley Way', providing an impressive approach on match days to the Stadium of Light.

Altro...Took a photograph near this spot on the north bank of the River Wear in Sunderland a couple of months or so back, but I was here again this week and I thought it was worthy of another shot, bathed as it was in the gorgeous warm light of a summer's evening.
This skyline is set to change soon as residents of the Lambton, Londonderry and Lumley Towers in the background are relocated to alternative accommodation before they are demolished.
All three blocks of flats are set be brought down with repair costs of more than £15m needed for each block being cited as the reason.

Altro...A walk along the River Wear footpath in Sunderland in the warm afternoon sunshine. This section on the north side of the river forms part of the last stage of the C2C cycle route (assuming you're cycling from west to east) and features a number of installations that make up the Wear Sculpture Trail.
With a forecast of more of the same to come, this summer is certainly going to end up in the record books.
