beach, Newbiggin, northumberland, public art, sculpture, Sean Henry, seaside, summer, the couple

A post-heat wave day on the Northumberland coast. The sand still hot underfoot, the water on the cool side, and the sky over the sea changing constantly. The sculptures are Sean Henry’s The Couple – two figures on land, then again on a platform 300 metres out to sea (Britains’s only offshore sculpture, apparently). I’m not sure that the future will judge this kind of public sculpture kindly, but I think I’ve seen worse (hello Kissing Couple in St. Pancras station).

Whitstable beach: groynes, oyster beds, sea forts and wind turbines

beach, Fuji X100T, Whitstable

Low, low tide at Whitstable beach on Easter Sunday morning; the sky changing every few seconds as the weather hurtled by (though not as quickly as it did 12 hours later when Storm Katie arrived). A photo snatched as I followed my daughter as she cycled along the sea front. I suspect she’s only a few weeks away from getting the confidence to cycle at speeds which will make it harder for me to follow on foot taking photos as I go.

beach, dusk, Neptune, north Kent coast, Skyline, Whitstable

An early evening walk down to the beach at Whitstable. Sun breaking though the clouds to the west, rain approaching from the north east. A flock of oystercatchers flew past: sadly neither of the cameras I was carrying was up to the job of catching them. The birdsong here is fantastic, and the air noticeably cleaner than my corner of south east London has been recently.
