Bleak Afternoon

Taken from the East Cliff, Folkestone, overlooking Sunny Sands Beach. It was sandy but getting dark. I had intended to walk my dog along the length of the cliff top but it was so cold we went back to the car after only 10 minutes or so. My dog was quite happy to get out of the biting wind too!
