Dawn grasses...


Viewing the online weather forecast at 5 am gave an inkling of hope for good early light, although the cloud bank moving in overnight from the west was always going to be a risk to proceedings. Nonetheless I'm on my bike and heading for Christchurch harbour, Dorset, and Mudeford sandspit in particular to photograph the boats, an hour later.
As so often happens with passing fronts the conditions are unpredictable, and today was no different: the light I sought never happened. Still, all was not lost - it rarely is - and I come across grasses growing on the sand dunes, backlit by the sun.
