An image from a holiday weekend visit to Mersea Island, part of Essex in eastern England. This stretch of coastline is a recognised place of natural beauty. It was a warm summer’s day, maybe one of the last we will see, and many people were enjoying this unspoilt seaside.

With a beautifully contoured sky and the layers created by the sand, sea and wooden fences, this was an irresistible spot for some landscape photography. I’ll share a gallery of Mersea Island views in the coming days.
