Holiday photographs


It is raining this evening and feeling distinctly autumnal, yet it was only just over a week ago we were spending sunny days on the beach.


This was my first time to the Northumbrian coast and it really was beautiful.


We had a very gentle sort of holiday, strolling, taking photographs, noticing the details


and making the most of the sunshine.


The beaches were lovely,


vast swathes of sand


and endless sea and sky.



Calm, subdued colours by day



and then bright and golden in the evening.


A wonderful holiday.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful---must have been incredibly restorative and hopefully was just what each of you needed. Hope you've been well. Always love your pictures!

Thank you, I am still very stiff and not walking very far so the holiday was less active than usual but my sons were very patient and we had a good time.

Nà,
The beaches were stunning although as you know with the North Sea not exactly warm. Great for taking photographs, something about the combination of beach, sea and dramatic castles. Holy Island (photos 3,4,5) was lovely although a bit touristy.
