I went onto the beach several times last night, dragging Dan with me, to try and take a picture for my blog today, but none of them had really worked. It was very cloudy and my attempts at pictures in the occasional flashes of sunlight were all unsatisfactory. I resigned myself to using the above picture of a crashing wave, which I’d been lucky enough to get when a shaft of sunlight lit it up nicely. I quite like the splashing, but I know it isn’t a “good” picture.
Then about 20 minutes later, I happened to glance out of the window and there was a whole line of people silhouetted against the now much less cloudy sky. Of course, the sun was now down, but I do rather like the below image. I didn’t quite get the best shot as it took me 30 seconds or so to run downstairs for my camera and get out onto the balcony, but I am quite pleased with this shot anyway.
There is a youth hostel about 200 metres to the right of the house, and that’s probably where those people were headed, after having been into the village for the evening.
Cheers, Tom.
