Merry Christmas all.
There is an old adage in photography that states, "f8 and be there". How else can I explain this epic sunset photo? As it happened, my location was ideal to catch the light that seemed to arch over the clouds. While it appeared to billow in puffy sections above, a very different looking mass appeared at the center point below.
The rest fell into place as the magic of nature unfolded above my water side perch. In an attempt to properly title this shot, the word "epic" kept coming up. Having photographed this location multiple times over many years, this is the most astonishing light I have captured here, to date.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my photos. Feel free to leave feedback.

Mists of damp heat rise up out of the fields around the sleeping abbey. The whole valley is flooded with moonlight and I can count the southern hills beyond the watertank, and almost number the trees of the forest to the north. Now the huge chorus of living beings rises up out of the world beneath my feet: life singing in the watercourses, throbbing in the creeks and the fields and the trees, choirs of millions and millions of jumping and flying and creeping things. And far above me the cool sky opens upon the frozen distance of the stars.

Yesterday was one of those banner days where everything just works out. In the morning I recieved a heads up about a ballast train loading in Nieder-Ofleiden bound for Wiesbaden with two Ludmillas, so I took my camera to work incase the timing worked out. Sure enough, come mid afternoon the train was underway so I headed out of work to Eddersheim to try to catch it. The line between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden is spectacularly unscenic, but I knew here atleast the sun should stay out till last light. Forty minutes before sunset, a deep rumble to the east announced the arrival of the Soviet beasts. WFL 232 356 with 232 182 dead in tow head towards Wiesbaden into the setting sun. Grüße an der Lokführer!
I thought I would change the mood, this was taken on the same morning as my previous foggy sunrises, everything was perfect for this but the bonus was that person walking into the sun, the divine light!
Tynemouth Pier extends 900 metres out to sea and the walk to the pier lighthouse is rewarded with some magnificent views of the river entrance and back towards Tynemouth Priory & Castle. The pier is a Grade II Listed building and dates back to Victorian times when its construction was a major feat of engineering.
Put light against light - you have nothing.
Put dark against dark - you have nothing.
It's the contrast of light and dark that
each give the other one meaning.
