SALTARE

 

SALTARE means 'Dance' in Latin, and I could not think of a better word to describe the swirling movement of those clouds that morning as they swayed and twirled before my eyes.

Photograph taken at 08:07am on Sunday 30th December 2012 off marine Drive and Kingsgate Avenue along the Golden sands and rocky shoreline close to the archway of Botany Bay, the Northern most of seven bays in Broadstairs, Kent, England.

 

 

The seven bays are (from south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay.
