Game on...

British Summertime comes to an end in the early hours of tomorrow morning (2am), the clocks are put back an hour to herald the onset of winter, and the weather comes out in sympathy. It is noticeably colder, today, with temperatures dropping to 8ºC, but the sky is largely clear and it is still quite warm in the sunshine - especially when sheltered from the North westerly wind and by the sea.

Despite it being a crisp and bright day, there are few people taking advantage of it all along the seafront of Poole Bay; not even the surfers have put in an appearance. Not surprising, really, as the sea is a flat calm - but that doesn't usually stop them all. Today, it did.

I was hoping for a spectacular sunset, or something equally as interesting, to photograph at the end of the day, but since there was little in the way of clouds it was never going to happen. Instead, I while away the last of the light shooting the surf gently lapping against the beach from Boscombe Pier, as the tide began to ebb and autumn (in my book) begins proper.

Game on.
