Hilbre Island Dawn





Today's shots are the last in the series of early morning at West Kirby Marine Lake.  There are two shots of Hilbre Island too which is a real treasure.  On this particular morning it was really cold but there were a few small groups of walkers heading out there.  

I love the ripple effect of the sand in pictures 2 and 3 and I think the rock in the 3rd picture adds a little extra interest to the overall shot.

I had hoped to get out with my camera today but sadly it was raining and overcast pretty much all day, the sun eventually broke through about forty minutes before sunset so it was too late to get out.

Anyway I hope you enjoy today's pictures, feel free to leave a comment.

Mini Landscapes




Three more pictures today from my early morning walk around the marine lake.  At first glance the rocks in these pools were fairly dull and uninteresting but as I took a few paces along the sand and looked back I noticed how the morning sun had turned the rocks to a beautiful warm golden colour and the reflections in the still pools gave a sense of a big landscape in miniature.  Getting low down to get the right angle and they take on a new dimension.  My favourite image here is the second one. Leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Also remember to share the facebook link and/or retweet to enter the draw.  Today is the last chance as I will be drawing the winner tomorrow and announcing who it is in tomorrow's post.  It could be you!
