Contre Jour Daytrippers

We went on a day trip today (Tuesday) to Skeggy (Skekness) an 11 mile walk up and down the coast.

It's the nearest coast to Nottingham, but it's a 2 hour drive in the car ! We were there for 9.30 a.m !

This is a contre jour photo of some people walking on the beach , shot with my mobile phone (Sony Xperia), I forgot to take my camera

A beautiful sight to behold

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautiful sight - love the glistening and reflecting sun on the water, and the light non-threatening clouds in the sky. The people add points of interest

The Lincolnshire weather was nice at that time this morning. This evening has been horrendous, rain & howling winds! I know they say it’s bracing at the seaside, but I think it’s been a bit excessive for April!
Haven’t been to Skeg Vegas for a while, I try to avoid it, preferring Anderby Creek.
Nice shot too!

[Phil Howcroft]

@carole_sandford we've done Anderby creek a few times Carole , but it's an extra 15 / 20 minutes or so to the journey , which makes it even further from Nottingham. We just walk up and down the coast and have a picnic half way !!!

It's a lovely scene. Did you walk or did you drive?

[Phil Howcroft]

A beautiful shot even with the mobile. On GoodFriday, and it wasn't the first and will not be the last time that this happened, i went to watch the Good Friday Procession with the intention of taking many pictures and when I switched on the camera found out that the battery was flat. I had been all day out with the camera and spare battery in my pocket but at noon while having lunch took the spare battery out of my pocket and forgot to put it back before we left home. The mobile camera in handy, at least.

Ooh quite a day out…..I guess you must be as far from the sea you could go comfortably for a day out. I have never been to Skegness but it looks a great beach….I expect Elsie enjoyed herself.
