Southerndown Sundown

This was snapped a few weeks ago from a rugged South Wales coastline (Southerndown) looking across the Bristol Channel towards North Devon. Although I visit South Wales fairly often, this is not a coastline I know particularly well but I do admit to having been inspired by local Tog, Paul Dunn, who consistently takes such stunning images from this part of the coast. With lots of rock pools, rocky outcrops and chiselled cliffs there is a lot of potential to tap into.

 

On this particular day I had all but given up because the sun wasn’t where I had hoped, the tide was too high for what I had planned and the general conditions really were, at best, benign. Thankfully I had time to kill and while I sat in the car chomping on a curled up cheese sandwich and slurping cold coffee, this glorious sky developed in front of me. Very unusual for me because I would normally expect such a sky to develop only once I had reached the point of no return, on my homeward journey!

 

Thanks as always for your interest and support.
