Avon Beach replenishment, Mudeford, Christchurch

The tide has washed away the beach which has been replaced by sand taken from the channel going out to sea.

Now the channel is being dredged to remove tons of shingle to deepen it for boats.

I need you to concentrate now.

On the right hand side you can see two dredgers hard at work excavating and pumping shingle and water along a pipe, marked by blue buoys (barrels actually).
You can see the water/stone mixture gushing out at the end of the blue snake. The shingle is then gathered up by the small, yellow dinosaur on the right and  transferred into huge polythene bags. These in turn are taken by the bigger, yellow dinosaur on the left and stacked on the upper beach for removal by a large truck (not shown).

I wanted to show all the action in one picture but could not get them all to work in unison with me.

I was minded to think of the uncertainty principle -
"In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle known as complementary variables, such as position x and momentum p, can be known simultaneously."


In other words, I could not get all my ducks in a row.
