With no desire to bring you down, yet our walk from Great Yarmouth to Gorleston beach was mostly undertaken in blue light. There was a heavy fog. Temperatures below freezing. But in the early dawn, it was wondrously quiet!!! We enjoyed it. I hope you will too.
That fog makes even the power station look ethereal
Looking downriver to the ONE ship in port
The Vos Glory
A sad-looking gull; no one out fishing today
The sun attempts to shine through but the clouds aren’t having it
The lighthouse… it overlooks the river’s pool (where the ships turn)
A solitary turnstone; he prefers the sparse findings on the pier to those on the beach. Why? Cos the tide is high
Have you ever seen that sea so quiet? Oh, and look. Four hardy swimmers!
Splash
Colour. At last! Some beefy dog’s paw-prints in the sand
What, more colour? Groynes, almost lost beneath the sand
A lone marker
People begin to appear… with dogs. Must be getting on for 10:00 am. Oh yes, so it is
And the sun slips through the clouds
While on the prom the beach huts remain shuttered until the summer
A stately ascent…
Frozen, the boating lake… pond… pool (for model yachts)
This time of year, the gulls take to skating…
Colour! The sun lights up the Pavilion Theatre. No pantomime this year
And wildflowers bloom on the river’s side
We then walked back to Great Yarmouth. Not a huge hike. About 6 or 7 miles. Since then the weather has been foul; essential shopping trips only. But next week… fingers crossed
These are really great Crispina! Thank you! 🙂 ❤

Thanks for sharing your photography. Here in central Ohio, the sun finally made an appearance after about 12 days hiding behind the overcast, gray clouds.

Oh, we’ve had lots of grey skies since. But the grey blanket seems now to have cleared these past 3 days (it’s supposed to return again tomorrow)

The Blues of winter are spectacular. I love the slow progression to colour.
Lovely, my friend.

Always. The exercise is my excuse to play truant from writing by taking the camera for a walk

But it’s true. I remember this battle when I was at college. Art versus Writing. And writing won. I suppose now I have a few books published, and the next not far off ready, I’m allowed a little time to explore the visual

Plus there could be other things afoot… though I’m not sure the foot is involved

Thank you. It was a magical walk, even if it was through town, not across my favourite marshes

I love the blue light — it looks positively magical! Like the whole world is under a spell. I’m impressed that you were able to capture it so well on “film” too; such effects don’t always translate well to photographs.

Yea, I have some disappointments in that respect. I had to abandon several of the photos I took that day.

That’s the great thing about digital photos, that you can take a MILLION and then choose the few that worked. The downside is that then you have to sift through a million shots to find the good ones, ouch!
