Intense golden light on the "sands" at Jenny Brown's Point, as the tide starts to fill the channels.

Intense light on the muddy channels this morning down at Jenny Brown's Point, Silverdale. It had a look of mercury.
Great patterns and contrasts giving an abstract feel to what is actually squelchy, soft, slippery mud! Glorious!

A nice nip of frost this morning; a shame the light melted away before the frost!

So very sad to hear of the death of Chris Rea earlier today. He released some great songs and albums over the years. I only saw him the once back in about 1978 when he supported Lindisfarne....showing my age now but it was really good night!!! Just listening & singing along to his greatest hits now.

A great walk this morning on the edge of the Lakes. Wonderful to see the lingering mist in the valley below us. It hasn't rained all day today!

Late afternoon sun illuminating the iconic Yorkshire hill with cloud momentarily thinning around the summit. Always wonderful to walk back across the many limestone pavements and outcrops.....unusually there were no people and no sheep!
