PL twenty six.
Waiting for the next high tide
to go out and work
Let’s be honest, no photo collection is complete without a bit of rust. This fishing boat was at a foggy Newlyn harbour in Cornwall early one morning. I am only guessing it was waiting for the tide to finish coming in.
A bright shaft of light
Piercing the dark of the shed.
Engine gently steams.
The village of Grosmont in North Yorkshire is on the heritage railway line the North York Moors Railway. When we visited, they were only operating diesel locomotives due to the risk of fire from the steam engines. This little beauty was in the repair shed warming up ready to be pulled to Crewe.
Vicar with a tail
Looking like he belongs here.
Quiet as a mouse
On a recent visit to Grosmont, in North Yorkshire, we called in to look round the village church. There on the pulpit, looking ready to deliver a sermon, was a felted mouse. Always nice to see a sense of humour, wherever you are.
Leaning guardians
Listen to the wind’s secrets
Rustling in the leaves
A beautiful location, discovered after watching a video by Gary Gough, one of my favourite photographers. This woodland path is photogenic in all weathers and seasons. According to the locals I met it is most magical in the moonlight. Just watch out for the headless horseman.
At the City ground,
Reflecting on the season.
Better than we hoped.
Not the normal photo of a football ground, but the reflections of the flats from across the river made for something quite interesting.
The deckchairs await
The cosy conversations
Of long held friendships.
On a visit to the Isle of Wight, these deckchairs were sat looking out to sea. Possibly the composition would be better without the yachts, but they were there before I was.
Aged by time and tide,
Bare bones where once stood structures
To hold back the seas.
More minimalism from Spurn Point. The groynes at Spurn Point make for a really interesting few hours, and there is more to explore. Must go back.
White rock and dark wood,
Misty morning by the sea.
Calm and serene view.
Some people do not like long exposure, but in this case I felt the untidy waves would distract from the main elements. Taken at Spurn Point on the east coast.
A cairn in a cave
One stone laid upon the next,
A balancing act
Amazing what you find in the cliffs by the beach. I did not build it, I only found it and appreciated it.
The pier would appear
to be no longer found here.
Where it stood is clear.
Possibly one of the most photographed piers in England. The old pier at Swanage. I took this whilst on a photo competition day with Digital Camera Magazine. Unfortunately the other person in the contest failed to show, so I won every round and had the magazine article to myself.
