We started on the beach at sunrise and walked back to the village.
There is a 'supermoon' at the moment. The moon is a bit closer in its orbit but it did look impressively big as it drew closer to the horizon and clouds drifted by.
The Monday morning transatlantic flights on their way to Amsterdam have left their mark across the sunrise sky
Here's a short video of the sunrise...
Meanwhile, Daisy was on the look out for pals....
If I could paint I would. Painters can interpret the landscape much better than photographers. They can add their own vision through a myriad of choices of paints, brushes, papers, canvasses, and of course their own artistic style. Photographers have some technical skills at their disposal and of course have their own artistic style. Photographers are also better at 'the decisive moment'. Capturing an instant of time in a way that no painter ever can as they are always working from memory (unless of course they're painting from a photograph!).
That's why I'm drawn to a photo-journalistic approach to photography as I feel it best utilises the photographic medium's advantages.
That said I have my moments of experimentation with more abstract images where the photograph resembles a painting even if it is actually an unedited, true photographic record. That's the case here. The trees' reflections are photographed just as they looked but the result is an impressionistic feel. The art here is in the composition and knowing what to leave out.

It's lovely to be on the beach as the sun sets and your eyes adjust to the darkness...
