About the Book

Morecambe Bay is usually claimed to be the largest bay in the United Kingdom at over 200 square miles, and over half of this area is revealed as sand at low tide. The resulting landscape of channels, quicksands and tidal races is unique, and it is surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes in the British Isles, but the shipbuilders of Barrow in Furness, the power station at Heysham, the fishermen at Fleetwood, and the holiday makers in the resort of Morecambe itself, speak of old and new industry and leisure, while Furness Abbey and Cartmel Priory recall much older inhabitants. For a landscape photographer there is a constantly changing seascape of big skies, with shimmering sands, wild birds in profusion, and picturesque villages and noble, and more modest houses. John Morrison records all this in its full diversity and in all its moods.

About the Author :
John Morrison specializes in photographs of the north of England. He has published more than forty books as a photographer, author or both.

Review :
A strange, other worldly kind of place of wide horizons and even bigger skies which John Morrison has set out to capture in this book with some surprising results. There are the expected shots of sunlight glinting on wet sunbanks but more unexpected is the life around the bay. There are power boats racing again, the industrial background of Barrow, genteel Grange, Morecambe's faded charms and the tranquility of the Lancaster canal, all bearing witness to the many claims different people make on this strange and eerie place. Cumbria Photographer and author John Morrison is an old hand at producing quality books. Morecambe Bay is a collection of super photographs that will not only please day trippers, but will also give photographers who are new to the area inspiration to follow John's footsteps to pictorial excellence. Amateur Photographer This collection of photographs can take you to these magical places with ease; John Morrison's commentaries accompanying you along the way. This lovely book would make a welcome Christmas present for anyone who loves this remarkable and almost secretive corner of England. Keswick Reminder John Morrison has drawn together a collection of the stunning pictures that will delight those who have never visited the area as well as those who know it well. From picturesque village scenes to the vast panorama of the bay itself, Mr Morrison has created as amazing record of a landmark in all its moods. Westmorland Gazette Sweeping images of of this great stretch of sand and water, including expansive landscapes paddling dogs, dinghy sailors, local landmarks and photogenic ruins. Coast
