11. 11. 2022. I was walking towards St Donats beach on the coast path. This is a landscape or seascape of the Bristol channel near St Donats coast. The rocky coastline, in South Wales UK. The image I took in the fall, the atmosphere is cool, plus I edited the image to be more colourful.

The SS Nornen, a Norwegian barque, ran aground on March 3, 1897, after being caught in a gale in the Bristol Channel that swept it onto the sands near Burnham on Sea, Somerset, England. Its crew and ship’s dog were rescued by the crew of the Burnham lifeboat but the hull of the ship still lies there.

Looking back again on a UK holiday, this time to the very interesting Blackpool. It was a rather overcast the day we spent there. What an interesting old hotel the Gainsborough was where we spent the night! And yes, we had to release our inner child and go for a spin on the Ferris wheeel 😉
I know Blackpool has been through various phases from a desired spot for honeymooners, to perhaps less illustrious times, and may be a little run down in parts , but the older history is really fascinating.
From an 11,000-year-old elk skeleton that had been hunted by man, to Roman coins from 80 AD. Then much later the arrival of trains and trams and opera house and piers and promenades, gypsy camps and fairgrounds. Such a rich past. Anyway, I found it interesting.
Happy Friday everyone.

The last day of June this summer. It’s the Afternoon, hanging down the beach, taking pictures. Llantwit beach, the waves of the Channel, and the Sky. Bristol Channel, Llantwit Major Beach, Wales United Kingdom
Today afternoon, walking to Nash Point High. This is a part of the rocky coast, between Llantwit Major and St Donats. The temperature is nice, windy, bright pm. I took this picture with my iPhone 7, actually.
This goes back to the beginning when I started taking photographs. To re-view old images can be good and this one I still like.
I've kindly been encouraged to re-post this image, and so here it is :)

There are a few things I particularly like about the middle of winter here. Firstly, and perhaps most obviously is how quiet it is down on the beach. Not a bucket and spade in sight. On days like this, especially when the tide is receding, you can take your time without fear of your sandscapes being blighted by all and sundry. The light is almost never harsh, and the golden hour arrives at a very agreeable time. You can be comfortably home for tea without your stomach beginning to complain of neglect. And on a Friday you can tie it in nicely with five a side at the local leisure centre, which kicks off at six on the dot. Plenty of time to shoot until darkness falls, before getting changed in the car and heading off to the game.
And there's another good thing about this time of year. Because not only can you shoot throughout the entire day, but the light often brings plenty of atmosphere, with soft diffused sunshine and a blue hour that glows for a surprising length of time. Today brought one of those unexpected afternoons when glorious post sunset pinks bounced off wet sand in the fading light, encircling the lighthouse in a colourful frame. Not for the first time in recent visits I'd chosen this spot beneath the lifeguard's hut, where the beach is trapped between the rocks to the east and the place where the Red River makes its final yards over cobbles on the sand and into the ocean to the west. Behind you a twenty metre high cliff wall, and before you the endless sea. It's a place where the tide likes to charge in between the rocks, rattling pebbles and wiping the sand clean as it goes. You can be standing on top of a rock and suddenly you'll be surrounded by water before it rushes back out with a furious swirl. It's quite a liberating experience, which is ironic considering your momentary imprisonment. Fine on an outgoing tide, but not really recommended at the opposite end of the cycle. Not unless you don't mind sitting in the darkness with your teeth chattering away for a few hours anyway.
I'm often torn when I come here in December. Spoiled for choice. The lighthouse is of course the obvious subject, but in the opposite direction, there's a permanent soft filmy cloud of spray hanging in the air as you gaze over the long sandy stretch that leads down to and beyond the Hayle estuary. When it catches the light, resistance is futile. You can sit on the dunes or head down to the beach below the Towans with the long lens and make merry with these perfect conditions. Get a gull or two racing low over the waves and you'll be a very happy clacker indeed. By the time darkness falls you haven't even really noticed that the lighthouse has been completely ignored again.
But of course it's not as if the lighthouse has been towed away. There isn't a big sign on the island saying “Don't bother pointing the camera this way because it's more interesting in the opposite direction. Come back in April!” The lighthouse is still here, waiting for the pilgrims to come and set their tripods before it in homage. And on this particular Friday afternoon, with the tide on the way out, it was the perfect time to shoot in both directions, to the East and West and out to sea as well. I used to be obsessed with separation, always wanting to isolate the lighthouse on the island and surround them with the sea. Not so much now though. This was a good time to keep on pushing; to see what else might work. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities here. And when the post sunset colours pour across the darkening sky from west to east and spread vivid reflections over the sand, well that helps a lot too. By the time I arrived back at the car, the night was almost black, but it was only a few minutes after five. Daylight is a precious commodity in deepest December. Finding moments like this make it all worthwhile.
12.5.23. This is a part of the South Wales Coastline, the shore of the Bristol Channel, actually. I keep walking, this time towards Monknash beach. Beautiful, bright day series 😊😎 Taken with my phone, this photograph. I Like my walks. Infinite love, and gratitude 🙏 Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom Coast.
