Here's an image that I have freshly edited today after looking through the thousands of images that i shot during my 26 day World Tour of the UK last July and August.
A fellow photographer and friend of mine Huw Alban joined me on location for a couple of hours before dashing off to head to work. We both witnessed a gorgeous morning with the most wonderful of skies adding interest, texture and some lovely shapes to the image.
If you have yet to visit Dungeness, do so. It's quite a strange little place. There's a large pebbled beach with residential houses littered around the circular road that takes you in and around the two nuclear power stations that exist on site (only one of them is still operational).
There is also a beautiful small tourist railway called Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway present. It is a 90-year-old narrow (15in) gauge steam and diesel railway that stretches 14 miles from Hythe to Dungeness on the Channel coast.
But Dungeness for me is an eerie, seemingly desolated place. I sat in my minibus/makeshift campervan for almost eight hours while it rained heavily. I would look at an empty space that is punctuated with wooden sheds that house diesel generators that power the winches that allow the fishermen to drag the boats onto the pebbled beach.
For all its eeriness, it is a fantastic place for the landscape/seascape photographer. There is a wealth of compositions available. Go and visit it for yourself and let me know what you think.
I hope you like the image. Thanks for looking and as usual, feel FREE TO SHARE if you wish :D

Hello.. I've only been here a few hours. Let's see what the world has in store for me and my siblings
Self Isolation/Social Distancing, WE can do this!
🎼: I am a Rock ~ Simon & Garfunkel~
✈️ : Kindred Spirit
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island
Don't talk of love
But I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried

....actually, I wouldn't sit in this at any time of year ;)
I picked this up off the side of the road while up north last summer. Had to have it !!
Strapped it down & hauled it home, surprised it survived the abuse !!
I think the only thing it'll hold is a flower pot in the summertime =D
It's a rickety old thing but it sure is pretty ;)
…..But not yet open to reveal their delicate inner-selves. A bit of a grab shot - saw them catching the early morning sun as I went to the re-cycle bin, didn’t want to stop too long in the cold as both Jill & I are nursing Covid! Jill first then me. So we’re grounded at the moment which means its into the archives a while longer 😊 Alan:-)….
