The Goose Beck. An Occasional Stream through our Village

Spring ‘24


There is a stream that is currently running right through Burnham Market where we live. It’s called the Goose Beck which is thought to have come from ‘Ghost Beck’ on account of the way it flows and then drys up, independent of local rain. We all think it has a life of it’s own… certainly at night. Here it is lit by a full moon.
Burnham Market is notorious for various negaitive things about visitors but of course there is masses more to it all... layers of good stuff too. But this phenomenon of the stream is the business end of what makes it a unique place to be.. and nicely way way out of our control... we hope. 

There is a slow motion video of the moonlight on the water on my @harrycorywright instagram page
