UK - Halstow Marshes - Ramblers resting in potential airport landscape

A group of country ramblers rest for lunch on the sea defence embankment of Halstow Marshes on the Kent Thames estuary marshes, potentially threatened by the future London airport. With the panoramic views beyond, the walkers have stopped at mid-day in sheltered sunshine to admire the landscape that could controversially become the site for London's estuary airport, built on reclaimed and marshland on the river Thames, east of the city. Current London mayor Boris Johnson is in faviour of this project to alleviate pressure from other airport hubs, regardless of wildlife (especially a nearby protected bird sanctuary).
