Dungeness...








Although a great deal of fuss is made about the weather in the UK, there are times when good conditions are paramount for certain activities: hot air balloon flights, for example. Scheduled for Wednesday evening, the gusty wind conspires against Nic and I getting airborne despite clear skies and the flight is postponed, having made the necessary information phone call at 2pm. We will try again in a couple of weeks.

                                                                 **********

The following day we set off for Dungeness, on the Kent coast, for some photography. If anything the wind is far stronger than yesterday, but there is no cloud (or tempting cake in the café at the light railway station), and we spend a couple of hours roaming the shingle beach adjacent to the nuclear power station, shooting whatever has been either abandoned as a wreck or simply pulled up above the high tide mark.

I shoot everything with a polarising filter on the lens but thought that the images worked better in mono.
