Christmas Day in Old Hunstanton, North Norfolk. Lunch has been eaten and there is a welcome break in the heavy rain. I walk down to the beach, leaving everyone else in the cosy surrounds of our retreat, The Lodge.
Other people have done the same, braving the chill wind. One couple are walking their dog and take a photograph. The sky is coloured a heavy cobalt blue with a warm streak of reddish pink, ready to dive into darkness. The walk is cold but not one to be missed.
oh my gosh that looks absa divine!
Thank you Liana. Definitely a place to visit if you can brave the cold!
Very nice – I really like Sky in Sand – there is so much light in there, something that is in short supply at this time of the year.
Thanks so much. The light was amazing after days of heavy rain and dankness. Boxing Day was stunning with blue skies – more on that soon!
I am just having my too long delayed browse in your blog. You mention a new camera with better focussing in a comment on one of these photos. I will likely find out as I go backwards through your blog, but what did you get?
It’s a Fujifilm X-E1. Still getting to grips with it. I jotted down a few initial thoughts here: http://mikeosbornphoto.com/2012/12/16/a-new-photographic-era/
Ahh, I just had to go back one day.
:-)
I love that area – envy you! Best wishes, Diana
It was a pleasure to visit and a great place to have a camera. Best wishes to you too, Diana, and a happy new year.
Beautiful.
Thank you very much, Adrian. And good luck with the competition – I’ve cast my vote.
Thank you Mike.
Such a beautiful beach, Old Hunstanton. Thanks for the mention :)
It is indeed. I was glad to have somewhere to warm up again!
BRRRRR. Looks really cold Mike. You got some great panorama shots. :-)
Thanks so much! I had to go back and thaw out afterwards – there’s a punishing wind on that part of the coast.
Great series of panoramas! The break in the rain was worth the wait! :D
Thank you Richard! Yes, it was worth the chill. And the new camera seems to be holding up well too.
