Above And Beyond

Above And Beyond by duncmc

Here’s another view of the Humber Bridge in that incredible fog last Friday morning. I had the luxury of a little more time on this one. It’s had more processing and a more judicious crop, and for me it’s a better image.

The fog rolling down the river this morning was awesome. I rattled off several shots, but this one grabbed me first, and there’s only time to process one before hitting the town tonight for a friend’s birthday drinks. More sunset pics to follow as well from tonight – another spectacle of nature, and quite different from the last few evenings.

Another of last night’s spectacular sunset – one of those that just keeps getting better as the sun goes down. I ended up taking about 65 pictures of maybe just three slightly different views.

There’s No Time For Dreams

There’s No Time For Dreams by duncmc

I had to stop at Brough Haven again on the way home from work tonight. The sunset was a real corker. This long shot of the distant power stations belching their clouds smoke and steam drew my attention. As the sun sank below the horizon the lighting subtly shifted and altered. Of the many shots I took this one stood out from the rest due to the backlighting on those plumes. From left to right the three power stations are at Ferrybridge, Eggborough and Drax. To see how this works on Google Maps go here

The Humber from Brough Haven, just after tonight’s sunset. Now the evenings are drawing in it’s pretty easy to get these on the way home from work.

Resting Place

Resting Place by duncmc

I spent August Bank Holiday afternoon on Beverley Westwood with family and friends (a couple of weeks ago now). I went off for a bit of a mooch with the camera, and took a few shots from which I wasn’t expecting very much. However after a bit of Photoshop work it seems I managed to turn out a couple of gems and here is one of them.

I’m not sure what it was about this spot, but it seemed to have a peaceful feeling about it. I thought the well worn grass in front of the bench was quite charming – obviously a popular spot for a sit down. The minster is just visible in the centre distance, towering above the rooftops of Beverley.

What’s That Coming Over The Hill?

What’s That Coming Over The Hill? by duncmc

What’s That Coming Over The Hill? from duncmc via flickr.

Hardly an original viewpoint, but it seems that access to the church yard is denied to the public most of the time which limits the options somewhat. This is Beverley Minster shot through the railings on fairly dull day – still managed to slightly over expose the sky on the right though.

Blue Sea Spotted Off The North East Coast Of England

North Landing at Flamborough, East Yorkshire on the North East coast. About an hour before this was taken the sky was black and it was pouring with torrential rain. Here it looks uncharacteristically Meditteranean – British weather, eh?

Upturned fishing coble at the top of the hill, Flamborough North Landing, East Yorkshire. This type of boat has a distinctive shape – high bowed and flat bottomed. It is designed to be launched and landed on shallow sandy beaches in heavy seas, and is traditionally used along the North East coast from Hull up to the Scottish borders.

Pylons as far as the eye can see. Taken just outside the village of Brantingham looking south west. The lampost marks the A63 running left to right beyond the hedge in the foreground.
