Stages of decay

This rose has given me great pleasure, and still as it fades it has it's own beauty

It’s a lovely capture

We are in the north east of the uk it’s the beach at Redcar! Near Saltburn and Marske with Whitby and Scarborough and Bridlington just a little bit further down the coast.

@craftymeg Thanks Margaret. I just thought the lighthouse looked familiar, but perhaps not as we haven't visited that part of the coast for a long time. I was born in Middlesbrough so we visited that area a lot when I was young .

The details in this phase of life are perfectly composed. I like your vertical/portrait choice for it.
