Image taken in December at sunrise on the beach at Hopton-on-sea on the Norfolk coast showing the light from the rising sun silhouetting the sea defences situated off the beach and casting an orange glow over the sea.
Dipping into the archives again, I found this image of a sea defence along the coast.
Fukui province, Japan.
Barnard Castle and the River Tees, Northumberland UK.
A stone castle was built on the site of an earlier defended position from around 1095 to 1125 by Guy de Balliol. Between 1125 and 1185 his nephew Bernard de Balliol and his son Bernard II extended the building.
The castle itself has been a ruin since the end of English Civil war, having been bombarded by the Parliamentarian forces of Cromwell.
A narrow road beside the rocks and fence link the La Have Islands to the mainland. The the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Another from my night at Cramond.
Thought the tide would just be dropping at sunset but it wasn't quite ready yet so had to make do with a shot from above but maybe a slightly different take to the normal viewpoint.
Apologies to the couple that I set up next to who were enjoying a moment to themselves.
Two exposures taken with the B&W ten stop and blended together in Photoshop. I have left quite a lot of the cast in here as the B&W can add quite a nice colour when not so much is happenning.
Fence bokeh; I've shot this fence before but couldn't pass it by. My v. old Olympus standard lens is responsible plus the Sony's clever innards.
[DSC00402a]
This top on Madeira is crawling with tourists during the day, so it was kind of special to have it completely to myself during this dark night. Being above the clouds here made the Milkyway clearly visible, arched over the top of the air defence radar station that was built here in 2011. I liked how its large dome looked like a foreign planet :-)
This is actually the first time I photographed the Milkyway... It just never happened before...!
Different sources of light pollution (and different colors... there is amongst others a large white-ish spotlight just behind the dome, lightening up the sky to the right of it) made it fun to play with a clear-night filter. It indeed cleaned up a lot, and made more stars visible, especially at the lower part of the sky.
In cooperation with Haida filters (150 mm NanoPro MC Clear-Night Filter).

I loved the few sea defences we saw on our trip, but this is one of the few images I got that I really liked.
Aichi Prefecture, Japan
If you'd like see more images from my trip to Japan, take a look at my Japan album.
At high tide Morecambe Bay holds over 3 1/2 billion cubic meters of water. The tidal range is about 10 1/2 meters meaning there's an awful lot of water sloshing about, creating tidal channels. King tides and winter storms add to the watery chaos. The sea defences are practical as much as ornamental.
The sea defences at Lynmouth in North Devon. Shot using a Hoya NDx400 9 stop filter and a polariser.
Popped over to Felixstowe and couldn't resist a crack at this shot, a la Justin Minns ! A bit too much spray and waves though to get down low and close !
