Skyscape collage

This week the  photo challenge from the Daily Post is Collage.

I have collected together some of my skyscapes from 2017 in West Cumbria.  All except two are sunsets. The other two are perhaps of more interest to sky-watchers. The supermoon was taken in the morning. The halo has already appeared on Twitter.

Changing tides

~ suesconsideredtrifles ~ 2 Comments

The photo challenge from the Daily Post is Delta.

The nearest beach to my home is not exactly a delta, although two streams (becks) flow into it. I have collected together four photos from the last six months or so, which were all taken looking towards the south. They are all from dull days. Perhaps this is because I am trying to show a distant hill in the photos. Sunny days are often hazy and the hill would not be clear.

The weather here towards the end of June is not typical British summer weather and is a contrast to the heat wave we enjoyed earlier in the month. Northerly winds, grey clouds, rain…

Another aspect of the photo challenge was changeability, as demonstrated by the rising tide in a delta. I hope these photos demonstrate that.
