An English seaside town in the winter

I wrote in a previous post that I intend to walk more, and I’ve kept up that intention.

Sometimes I have the inclination to go further and walk longer. Today I decided to stay very near to home.

I live close to an English seaside town on the north-east coast. Make of that what you will. There are no palm trees and the water is never warm, but it’s magnificent nonetheless.

There’s a castle, a harbour, fishing boats, an old town with many old buildings. For someone like me, it’s perfect.

During the winter months, I have to wrap up warm because the sun never gets all that high in the sky, and it’s completely dark by 3:30pm.

Despite the small(ish) size of the town, I’m always amazed that there’s something new to discover. An entire building, or part thereof; some aspect that I’d not seen before.

Having a camera means that I tend to be on the lookout for different angles and patterns of light, The way that something looks in the winter differs from the summer, sometimes profoundly.

I’m not a good photographer, mostly the camera is set to ‘auto’, but I like the process, and the end results are good enough for my desire to have images for reminiscing in later life.

Feel free to take these images and do whatever you like with them with no need to ask for any kind of permission.
