There’s No Time For Dreams from duncmc via flickr.

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.

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.

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? 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 from duncmc via flickr.

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.

I’m not sure whether he’s the leader of the pack or just a straggler. Or even a “he” come to think of it. All will be revealed in my next post.

When It’s All Over We Still Have To Clear Up from duncmc via flickr.

Another bridge shot which has been languishing on my Mac for a couple of weeks. This was taken the day after this one – another very low tide on the way to work. Again the surface of the Humber was very still, but the light was different so the water wasn’t so mirror-like. In fact I like how clear the water is in this one – a change from its usual brown soupy appearance.

So there I was down at the very edge of the water at low tide, and a long way from terra firma. The surface of the Humber was like mirror – everywhere I looked there was a view worth photographing. So many pictures it took two weeks to decide which one to post.
