Ramble on...

The second cold snap of the month has arrived, although temperatures are higher than forecast yesterday (- 5ºC) with a "balmy" - 1ºC on the thermometer. This second figure is almost certainly due to the blanket of cloud across the county and beyond,

Becoming accustomed to taking a relaxed attitude to my photography I make another ramble on foot along the beach at low tide, shooting whatever takes my fancy. Light levels are low, so I concentrate on details in the landscape, as here, with the wood grain pattern on a groyne post. Years of constant exposure to a harsh environment has caused the greenheart to split and discolour, and together with the sand makes for an interesting study in hue and texture.
