Alnmouth, Northumberland today

We’ve been in the UK for the past two months dealing with a family illness and bereavement (hence the lack of recent posts).

One of the upsides has been getting to spend a little time on the Northumberland coast, one of the most photogenic you’ll find. This week, we’re staying in Alnmouth, around 40 minutes drive north of Newcastle.

Our place has a balcony with spectacular views over the north sea and today provided an equally spectacular sunrise:

It seems similar conditions were seen up and down the north east coast of England as a sheet of high cloud occupied the skies over the North Sea.

This evening, it unnatural rather than natural light that created this scene over the mouth of the river, looking south back towards Blyth:

The east coast mainline railway runs through this shot - you can see a car heading north (nearest) and a train heading south (behind) in the lower right of the scene.

We’ll be getting home later next week, and getting back to normal. More soon.
