Sandy trails...


Although some parts of the UK are experiencing winter conditions with low temperatures and snow, the latter has failed to manifest itself in the southern counties (so far), even though predicted by those in the know. In contrast, although cold, there are predominately blue skies across the South.

At this time of year the sun doesn't climb much above the horizon in its passage across the sky, casting long shadows for most of the day. These oblique rays readily throw into relief the most mundane of subjects, creating opportunities if only the photographer is prepared to look.

The three sets of footprints in the sand, created by two humans and a black-headed gull, is one such graphic image that presented itself during late afternoon on Bournemouth beach, today.
