Cut Short

Last weekend should have been a long one, away in Northumberland. But, for reasons I won’t go into our stay was cut short to one day, and a very early departure for home on day two. My hope was to go out early on day two and get some sunrise photos along the coast. but, sometimes life gets in the way.

So, all I have is ‘snaps’ taken on a dull day with my GM5 and the ever trusty 12-32 Panasonic lens.

The couple on the bench is my favourite. What were they talking about? Were they looking out to the horizon planning their future? How many other couples had sat on the bench and done the same thing? The empty bench to the left serving as a reminder that our time on earth is brief.

Looking ahead, the weather here is good. Time for some walks and bike rides. I’m trying to plan a return trip to Spurn Point too, and I want to write about the way I’m editing images at the moment, and why.

A Week in the Last Kingdom

What a stunning place Northumbria is. It’s my family home on both sides, and I always love going back to the coast up there. We’ve had a fantastic week in Seahouses and Bamburgh and visits to Holy Island, Alnwick and Berwick. I’m going to let the photo’s speak for themselves. I’m holding a couple back for next years Landscape Photographer of the Year entries.
