ripples never come back

18th Nov 2015, Dunstanburgh, 5pm

First photos on the camera for a while. Recent rain still lies in big puddles but the ripples collect the last light of the day.



rain effects

15th Nov 2015, Embleton Bay, 9am

Very clarty on the paths and very flooded golf course. Time to head home for breakfast...




...or so I intended.  Daisy wanted to hit the beach, and I'm glad she did as we found these sandy towers.  After much rain recently, When the burn runs in spate and undercuts the sand the boulders wear sand caps.

Daisy would stand up there all day watching the world go by...


not so peaceful

14th Nov 15, Embleton Bay, 8am

All peaceful here but last night's massive terrorist attack in Paris has stunned everyone.

My thoughts are with those affected and let's hope a solution can be found to stop the murderous intentions of this tiny group of small-minded fools that represent no-one and nothing but their own delusional ideals.


crepuscular vision

11th Nov 2015, Embleton Bay, 4:40pm

Not much light at 16:40 but just enough for the camera and enough to allow Daisy to scan for furries...

Remembrance Sunday

11/11/15  Embleton Bay, 7:30 am




This video is my contribution to Remembrance Sunday. I wrote this song called "A Letter Home" from the perspective of a wee Glasgow man posted to Northumberland at a time when there was a very real threat of invasion. This now peaceful beach was criss-crossed with barbed wire and closed to the public. To this day the concrete tank traps on Embleton Bay bear graffiti written by the soldiers in 1940.







mists clear

2nd November 2015, Dunstanburgh, 4:30pm

A very foggy week but the mists cleared enough to see some colour in the sunset...



autumn colour

30th October 2015, at home

Beautiful colours on the acer after the rain...
