Low tide Sunset

Low tide sunset is one of a collection of image capture on the river crouch at the Hullbridge Crossing, South Woodham Ferrers side. The setting sun was a strong orange globe and offered possibilities. The brown mud tempered by enthusiasm. High tide would have offered much more photogenic opportunities, nevertheless we were where we were! This image shows the sun reflected in the pink finger of water which is extending to the shore from the centre of the river. While the sun is setting people are walking on the river bank. Their reflections also appear in the water. The chocolate coloured mud is also turning golden under the setting sun.

Reflections in the water at low tide on the River Crouch

Following other attempts, the position of the camera has moved to capture the globe reflected in the water. This shows the challenge of capturing images of a sunset at low tide. The position at high tide is different. Reflections are frequently offered from different positions. It is undoubtedly worth noting that a wet suit would be required to get an image from this position at high tide! So perhaps not! This image does show the pink water, which like a finger is lengthening as the water returns.

Sunsets over the Adriatic

Sunsets over the Adriatic shows two images captured at Tucepi in Croatia two years ago. Tucepi is not far from Makarska, which itself is not far from Split where you fly to. Every night we had a sunset like this. Both images have the island of Brac in the background. You can get a day trip to the islands of Brac and Hvar not far off the coast. One of the images is framed by the ever present pine trees. The trees cloak the beach and provide shade as you walk along the promenade in the hot sun.
