For something a bit different...Clevedon Pier at high tide and hint of sunset colours in the sky.

My first visit to Clevedon and I was greeted with a low tide at sunset. Wandering around looking for foreground options and I found all sorts of interesting rock strata on the shore. This golden coloured sandstone was overlayed with some harder red sandstone, which had formed some interesting patterns. So I waited for the sun to appear between the distant clouds and provide some light to help in highlighting the features in the rock and here it is!
The Pier provides a nice backdrop along with the sunset colours in the clouds.
I will definitely come back here the next time I'm allowed to travel down to see my daughter! Whenever that will be.
After leaving Cheddar Gorge on Thursday we headed to Clevedon to get a few photos of the world famous Victorian pier.
I'd been wanting to visit here for some time, it's a gorgeous old pier with a fair bit of history behind it. The pier was built during the 1860s to attract tourists and provide a ferry port for rail passengers to South Wales. Finished in 1869 the pier served as an embarkation point for paddle steamer excursions for almost 100 years. It has been described by Sir John Betjeman, as "the most beautiful pier in England" and was designated a Grade I listed building in 2001.
When we arrived the weather had turned and it was grey and dull, so I went for a long exposure shot to give it that fine art style look. Fingers crossed on my next visit I'll be able to shoot it with a nice sunset.

As much as I appreciated comments and feedback I would request no Awards or flashy gif comments, please. They will be deleted. Thank you.
I haven't managed to get out much over the holiday period but did manage a winter sunset at Clevedon Pill last week. The setting sun broke through for a short time to give a lovely glow to the scene.

A brief gap in the clouds allows the sun to illuminate the bedrock and rocks on the seafront at Clevedon.
This was a quick trip out after tea at my daughters. I met a couple of other TOGS whilst taking this and we all packed up shortly after this as the sunset was totally obscured. I’m down here for my little granddaughters 3rd birthday and I will get another chance to pop out on Sunday evening and so far the forecast looks a lot better! Fingers crossed 😄
Clevedon Pill at high tide. The water came in covering the land apart from the very top of this mud bank, leaving stakes and grass poking through the surface. This was a 257 second long exposure.

FAVOURITE. Probably my favourite place from my time in Clevedon, even more than the Pier!

On our visit to bath last week we ventured up the coast after visiting the lighthouse at Burnham on sea, I got to cross another spot off my list with the beautiful Clevedon Pier, nicely bathed in some warm winter light. .
Clevedon Pier is a seaside pier in the town of Clevedon, Somerset, England on the east shore of the Severn Estuary. It was described by Sir John Betjeman, as "the most beautiful pier in England" and was designated a Grade I listed building in 2001
High tide and sunset so has to be Clevedon Pill for a local photo location.

Unfortunately due to computer problems I still have limited access to my images, so working with what I can get to. Another shot of Clevedon Pill from an evening back in September 2021.

A December sunset down at Clevedon Pier. A lovely glow on the clouds, the foreshore and the pier from the setting sun throwing sidelight across the scene.

Clevedon Pier is a seaside pier in the town of Clevedon, Somerset on the east shore of the Severn Estuary. It was described by Sir John Betjeman, as "the most beautiful pier in England" and was designated a Grade I listed building in 2001.
The pier was built during the 1860s to attract tourists and provide a ferry port for rail passengers to South Wales. The pier is 312 m (1,024 ft) long and consists of eight spans supported by steel rails covered by wooden decking, with a pavilion on the pier head.
The pier opened in 1869 and served as an embarkation point for paddle steamer excursions for almost exactly 100 years. Two of the spans collapsed during stress testing in 1970 and demolition was proposed, but local fund raising and heritage grants allowed the pier to be dismantled for restoration and reassembled. It reopened in 1989, and ten years later was awarded the Pier of the Year from the National Piers Society, and a Civic Trust Award
THOSE THREE AGAIN. Still relying on my backlog and archive at the moment. One from the autumn on a misty day at Clevedon Court Woods. These three trees have always fascinated me and have several compositions.

Since we moved my PC and software has all gone to pot and so I am spending more time trying to sort that out than posting. One I have been able to access from May last year.

A shot from last month, the light from the setting sun starting to creep across the scene.

Two great outings with the camera at the weekend. Saturday was spent at the waterfalls at Pontneddfechan, then an evening visit back to my favourite local location at Clevedon Pill for high tide and sunset. The Pill up first, fantastic light.

There was a lot of activity on the water at Clevedon last night, a lone swimmer going back and forth, a swim club who set off around the pier and a group of rowers captured here.
One of the great sunsets we have had this week in Clevedon. Not sure I have ever seen it this intense and I have seen a lot of Clevedon sunsets!

We are leaving Clevedon by the end of the month to move to Cardiff. One of the abiding memories of photographing locally will be the fiery sunsets! Whilst the sky was not as interesting last night, the colours were no less intense. This is a bit abstract but it is a photograph of the Clevedon coast (looking towards Cardiff) with those intense colours so typical here locally. Maybe it'll end up on the wall of the new house as a reminder!

Keeping it simple. Fading sunset colours on a still calm evening.

FOREVER AUTUMN. I must have been out in the Autumn lots with my camera given the number of images I have been working through. Certainly more than I am at the moment! Clevedon Pill and an Autumn sunset.

When looking back at the last photo I posted I found an unprocessed image, also from Clevedon Court Woods.

The mist appeared on Sunday as it seemed to in most areas all day. I went down to Clevedon Pier in the morning and then back to Clevedon Court Woods in the afternoon. What a difference the mist makes to woodland shots. Spent an hour rushing round before the light all disappeared, then did my usual trick of getting lost trying to get off the hill. I always walk up the same way but never seem to come back down via the same path!

Clevedon Pier on Sunday morning in winter. I arrived before sunrise and had to work fast as the tide was coming in fast.
Clevedon has some of the greatest sunsets and Clevedon Pill is my go to place for fiery skies. I don't think I have done a sunrise from there until this morning, It was a lovely crisp (cold) Autumn sunrise. The colours were more subtle but no less impressive. I also tried something different. I normally get down close to the shore, level with the water but today I found a higher viewpoint to try to make use of the winding channels to lead the eye into the scene (there is a full frame version as well). I only shot one composition for about an hour, watching the light change as the sun rose over Clevedon (to the left of the camera), the side lighting hopefully adding to the image.
