The late autumnal afternoon sunshine creates shadows from a plastic fence line and casts these shadows onto the beach in this sepia toned print.Donna Nook, Lincolnshire, England.

That's lovely. Makes me want to run across it with no shoes on to feel the ridges in the sand. Funny how it's the light that makes me want to do that and not the sand itself - this isn't normally what I feel when I see a picture of sand!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's what photography is really about - "painting with the light". This actual scene is located at a RAF Bombing range on the Lincolnshire Coast, where every autumn many grey and common seals come ashore to give birth to their young.
ReplyDeleteA really special place. The local wildlife trust keep an eye on these creatures whilst they are ashore. Apparently the noise from the planes those not disturb them at all.
Thanks once again JA for your comments.
painting with the light... I like that. Surprising that the seals aren't bothered by the planes. Perhaps they know they're not a threat to them.
ReplyDeleteI think the thing is JA that many of this country's best nature reserves are located on land that belong's to the MOD. Hence there is restricted access to the general public. This part of the coast is on the edge of the Humber Estuary and at low tide the sand reaches out miles into the river.
ReplyDeleteThe targets for the planes are far out as well, the seals tend to come in right up to the sand dunes. So they are fairly safe and like you say used to the noise. I don't think the RAF uses live bombs just practice one's with only small amounts of explosives.
