April 21st

Shot with my P&S.

Today we took the drive up to Middlesbrough to see our football team try and clinch promotion to the Premier League. Sadly it was not to be, so we try again next week.

We had a great day nonetheless. I went with Sam and Ben, and my brother and his young son Tommy.

With a few hours to spare, we popped back to Saltburn, where the weather was glorious. So, we will have a few more beach and pier shots this week!

Here is a link to my previous shot of Saltburn Pier.

Quite a different perspective for any pier - having the structure itself as a complete silhouette and not seeing the water getting deeper. I like!!

Very nice the light and the dark blue then the darkness of the jetty . A combination of several colours that work well together.

Certainly looks like the weather was glorious there today, Sean I particularly like the shadow of the pier.

@sheliwithani Thanks Sheli, yes I was pleased with the way it looked.

@asutherland1964 It was Andrew, yet 10 miles away in Middlesbrough we had wind, rain and hail bouncing off the car bonnet!

@seanoneill Thats mother nature at its best dont you think.
April 22nd, 2012  
@tesssa Absolutely Tessa, I am astounded by many things in life, and mother nature is up there at the top (with my family). It is the 365ers best friend!

@sandier Not quite Sandie, I was actually wearing my favourite suede boots so I stayed clear of the water!

@zuzana Wow, thanks Zuzana, yes, dead right. TBH, I think the P&S probably did a better job than I would have with my Nikon!
