absence makes the heart grow fonder

19th December 2013, Low Newton, 8am

It's been a busy week and today was the first day we made it to the beach for ages. It was, of course, as beautiful as ever
The soft blue light of pre-dawn gradually warmed to orange as we stood on our vantage point above the bay.

takes your breath away

11th December 2013, Low Newton, 8am

A beautiful morning with gorgeous clouds



The first hint of sun at the horizon


Here she comes...


I've taken photographs from this angle before but the colour in the clouds was breathtaking this morning


Back to the beach and Daisy spots another dog half a mile away!

voices from the past

10th December 2013, Low Newton, 8am

These WW2 tank traps are now used to protect the dunes from erosion. They've been uncovered by last week's tidal surge and this morning I noticed the writing on them for the first time.

Clearly written in the wet cement it dates the words to 70 years ago. To save you turning your computer upside down this one seems to say "This way to Heligoland" (an island off the German coast)



I sat in the grass photographing these decaying winter leaves when a friend came along to 'help'

textures on the beach highlighted by the golden sun.





Daisy is learning to recall to the whistle and she came straight over and sat this morning. Good Girl !

Red Sky Warning

2nd December 2013, Dunstanburgh, 7am

As the old saying has it: Red Sky in the morning, Shepherd's warning.

This red sky was the harbinger of nothing more than a particularly fine sunrise - These photographs were taken well before actual sunrise - I was there around 7:15 and the sun rose at 8:11.  You have to get up early to get the best of nature.

another new angle

1st December 2013, Embleton Bay, 8am

It's getting hard to find something new to say and a new angle for a photograph when the sunrise and Dunstanburgh Castle are so obvious and beautiful.
