It might seem like a rather obvious statement but photography is all about light!
The direction and quality of light can have such a dramatic influence on the landscape.
Two images captured moments apart on a recent visit to Cheswick Beach in Northumberland, demonstrate this difference quite well I think.


Having patience and waiting for the clouds to part for brief moment can be so rewarding.
The low sky and clouds of the North Sea betray themselves.
Lovely moment. I will join your walks in areas I used to live and love when I was residing in UK. Such a treat!
Where is this location? Looks like a delta somewhere.
