wind on the way
19th September 2018, Embleton Bay, 8am
Beautiful light down at the skaith.
The wind is already picking up with very strong winds due later on. Meanwhile we enjoy the peace.

something to sniff

A blue sky day for our afternoon walk. There is a smell in the air and Daisy is taking in as much as possible...

just grey?
17th September 2018, Dunstanburgh, 7:30am
A sundog (or parahelion) above the castle this morning. It lasted just a few moments while the atmospheric conditions and light combined to create it.
17th September 2018, Embleton Bay, 10am
At first it just looked grey for today's PhotoTrail. I was with a lovely couple keen to learn more about photography for their impending retirement (sounds good to me!)
But then you spend a bit of time out and about and you watch the weather and the light changing on the land and sea.
You start to see that the sky is more than just grey and that there are patterns everywhere.
Then you start to find photographs all around you.
A stiff breeze on the beach today and definite autumn colours in the ferns as they blew about in the wind.
Back in May the hawthorn blossom was incredible. Now that has translated into a goodly crop of berries...

the light was like gold
16th September 2018, Embleton Bay, 7am
Sometimes it rained, sometimes the sun shone brightly. There was a golden light on the sea and it was a very beautiful place to be.

sunrise story
15th September 2018, Embleton Bay, 6am
Sunrise was at 6:36 and the weather looked promising so we headed down to the beach in plenty of time (the best colours are before the sunrise)
I was glad we did as we had the beach to ourselves and there was only a narrow band of colour between the horizon clouds and the grey clouds above.
We woke up the gulls from their night time roost as we passed the Skaith. No reflections of dawn in the Skate at this time of year. We have to be at, or past, equinox for that.
Some gentle colour SE over the castle
But the vivid colours were out towards the point of sunrise and the reflections on the sea were beautiful.
We walked down until the Emblestones were between us and sunrise for a different shot.
Very quickly the colours faded and the sun disappeared into the higher cloud. I amused myself taking photos of my own footprints while Daisy sniffed about. The waves caught me out though...
