Happy New Year and Sea Shore - Photo Manipulation

 This is a present so not for sale. Sorry… I thought it was the perfect image to introduce the new year as it’s a collage mostly of images taken at the seaside over the summer. I’ve included images from Happisburgh, Aldeburgh, Holme Beach, Winterton-on-Sea, Thorpeness and more along the Norfolk/Suffolk Coast.

Trips, Number 1: Southwold - Summer

This is a new mini series - all about the trips I went on last year. The first one to be recounted here was to Southwold at the end of August.

I had my trusty camera with me and, of course, took a lot of pictures whilst collecting sea glass.
Here are (what I think) my best pictures.

The first one is of the lighthouse. I am pleased with the picture because it shows how high the thing really is!

Somebody had some fun taming a figurehead and wrestling it to a wall:

Couldn't resist sneaking this picture in. A lifesaver ring is just all about the sea/seaside, nothing says it better! :-)


The sea was quite wild at times that day as it was windy. I spent ages getting this picture whilst sandcastles were built and being torn down again:


And I spent even longer getting this one just how I wanted it.


This is quite tame compared to the other two, but I liked it because it looked like some giant creature's tail (a dragon?) dipping it's tail in the sea.

And here's one of a series of pictures I took of the sea and the boat. I messed around with it in Photoshop to give it this painterly feel.


The next instalment will be Autumn pictures of Wandlebury.....
