For most of its length, the north side of the causeway highway has only a very narrow strip of land which separates it from the water. On the south side, the strip of land is just wide enough to accommodate a number of small cottages most of which tend to be clustered side-by-side in individual groupings spread out along the length of the causeway.

As one is driving past these side-by-side clusters of cottages, a swivel-headed looky-loo can, in the openings between the cottages, catch quick glimpses of the marshes, wetlands, and waterways. IMO, a picture maker could spend the better part of an morning / afternoon / evening - pick the light of your choice - making a body of interesting pictures of these glimpses. Making pictures not only of the sea/landscape beyond but also of the bits and pieces of cottage life which are crammed in the little tableaux between the cottages.

I like these "glimpse" images ... composition, "soft" look, rendering.
