One from last April and an early rise for a visit to Spurn Point.
No direct light, but a bit of colour in the sky.
Best defence also known as Blind defence. Agree? This group of Weaver Ant trying to defence their territory when i was there taking macro with the full Blast of my Flash. They keep coming up, and my flash do the same, Later they stop attack and ignore me, i guess they already Blind....LOL
Do not stand against the Thunderstorm!!!!!
Here's a long exposure photograph I made in Herne Bay, Kent. This is some of the many groin sea defences along the coastline.
I took this using a Lee Super Stopper for 66 seconds.
There was not much going on sky-wise so I overexposed slightly to give the washed out look.
Hope you enjoy.

A trip back to North Norfolk back in November, and a much better than expected sunrise at Cromer. I believe they have beefed up the see defences at Cromer and the rock ‘island’ is part of that?
Here's another one of those aurora shots from the plane when flying home from Iceland.
When charged particles from the sun (solar wind) strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.
Earth has a magnetic field which stretches out for thousands of kilometres into space. It's this magnetic field that deflects harmful solar wind towards the poles. Without this deflective magnetic field the solar wind would simply strip the atmosphere from our planet, killing all life on Earth. It's a natural defence mechanism protecting us from the devastating effects of our Sun.
To sit there and witness this from this point of view was really fucking awesome. A dream come true.
Next to the Cramond Island high tide causeway are these protective structures, creating an anti-submarine defence to the south of the island.

Chatted with the very talented Rod (blue fin art) when taking this image which is actually the second time we have met whilst out and about.

The Northumbrian coast is littered with the remnants of World War 2 anti tank defences. This image was taken on a stormy morning before dawn on Alnmouth Beach.

The Gallipoli campaign, also known as the Dardanelles campaign, the Battle of Gallipoli or the Battle of Çanakkale (Turkish: Çanakkale Savaşı), was a campaign of the First World War that took place on the Gallipoli peninsula (Gelibolu in modern Turkey), from 17 February 1915 to 9 January 1916. The Entente powers, Britain, France and Russia, sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire, one of the Central Powers, by taking control of the straits that provided a supply route to the Russian Empire. The Allies' attack on Ottoman forts at the entrance of the Dardanelles in February 1915 failed and was followed by an amphibious landing on the Gallipoli peninsula in April 1915 to capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople (Istanbul).
In January 1916, after eight months' fighting, with approximately 250,000 casualties on each side, the land campaign was abandoned and the invasion force withdrawn. It was a costly defeat for the Entente powers and for the sponsors, especially First Lord of the Admiralty (1911–1915), Winston Churchill. The campaign was considered a great Ottoman victory. In Turkey, it is regarded as a defining moment in the history of the state, a final surge in the defence of the motherland as the Ottoman Empire retreated. The struggle formed the basis for the Turkish War of Independence and the declaration of the Republic of Turkey eight years later, with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who rose to prominence as a commander at Gallipoli, as founder and president.
