Clichés and welders masks...



A cliché it may be - and some deride it as chocolate box photography - but there is no getting away from the fact that a good sunset is a good sunset. During the winter months I usually spend a good deal of time walking the beaches with my camera, not only because the light can be quite spectacular, but because of what can be found on the shore.

For example, today I came across a welders mask (full-face, not just the goggles), that someone had hung from a promenade railing. My guess is that it had been found washed up on the beach since no work of that kind was being done in the neighbourhood that I could see. I briefly stopped to take a couple of casual shots since it was such an unusual find - and walked on - but as soon as a nearby beachcomber realised it wasn't a photographic prop of mine he swiftly moved in to claim it for himself. No doubt it will be on eBay in the near future.
