taken 17 years ago, near to Warmingham, Cheshire East, England

Moston Flash
Moston Flash
Moston Flash is a naturally occurring flooded linear valley created by the solution of underlying salt deposits and subsidence of the land above. The process has been enhanced by salt extraction at the nearby saltworks. The linear lakes contain some unusual plants and animals because of the presence of saline (salty) water, they are also important areas for wildfowl and wader birds, and recreational fishing. The area is protected and managed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
