Family Fun

I have been thinking about family today and so I have selected a picture that shows some family fun on the beach.

This is the beach at Reculver on the Kent coast. I was there in July 2009 with my daughter, we had attended a university open day in Canterbury and we were checking out the local area. I spotted this family out playing on the edge of the sea with their dog. It was a really happy scene and I think it makes a nice image. A few years later we were on the beach a little further along the coast in Herne Bay when we went down for my daughter's graduation. Happy memories.

It was a really sunny day and on a day like today as winter creeps upon us a summer scene like this can help to give a warm feeling.

Sunset Across The Sea

Two similar shots today, offering slightly different views of the sunset over the sea, looking out from the beach at Granville in Normandy.  

These pictures were taken in the summer of 2006 using a Konica digital compact camera.  I was pleased to be able to capture the sun as it appeared directly above the small island in the distance.  The low evening clouds also add some drama to the scene and meant that I could shoot directly at the sun without washing out the image.
