Norfolk in February

Norfolk in February was cold, however we were rewarded with sunny days and delightful scenery, with few people around. 

Wells-next the sea

Wells next the sea has a massive beach, the tide seems to go out for miles. The tufts of grass may well be visible at high tide, however they stood very proud at low tide. High tide has left its mark further up the beach. Here wee see a semi circular arcing mark left by the water and the dry sand to the left hand side of it.

Hunstanton, Cley and Blakeney

I captured the Lighthouse at Hunstanton through the archway of the wall. It’s warm yellow colours frame the subject of the image nicely. The wall is from an old ruin. The day we visited Cley next the sea was bright and fine. The blue sky contrasts wonderfully with the white sails of the windmill. A square format is used for this image.

Reflections were the order of the day at Blakeney. the river is very calm. We see two boats moored at the quayside. It would almost be possible to invert this image as the reflections are so clear. The staves that hold in the quay also reflect in the water.

The beach at Weybourne

The final two images show the beach at Weybourne. This is a long beach and the first image shows how the high tide has piled up the shingle into a ridge. The ridge forms a long diagonal line across the image. The sun casts shadows from the cliffs on the second image. This image is also misty. The mist comes from the spray, which itself comes from the waves forcibly chasing onto the shingle beach. We see the coastline curve into the centre of the image in the distance.
