  Thanks – the light did have a sort of other-worldly feel about it that day.

  Cheers! It certainly was cold, especially about 30 minutes later when the waves started crashing over the sea wall.

Amazing shot. The angle is too good, gives this place an infinite feel. Very nice.

  Thanks James, I see what you mean, it does look as if it’s been lit for a film shot.

The epitome of grey. The panoramic format works well here.

  Thanks! Your welcome to walk in and sit down anytime, just make sure you’re wearing a big coat, it’s mighty chilly in there!

I liked this a lot – I was going to ask which came first (the poem or the photo) but once I read in the comments that you took the photo yourself (so many people do google searches for pictures that match their pieces!) I assume it was the inspiration. Nicely done!

  Hi Jessica, yes it was the photo that inspired the poem, I started out with this blog being about the photography, and added the poetry to make it a bit more original. Glad you liked it and thanks for coming by.
