SC134 - Post 16 February - Photographing in the style of your favorite artist. My favourite artist is a poet called John Masefield. This poem, the second verse in particular, is called 'Sea Fever' inspires this photo. I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over. There's always something interesting to find on the beach too. PiP

The sea wall was being battered almost ceaselessly by waves, and believe it or not, some idiots were standing right down on the area which was getting soaked. I took this photo while standing on the pier, well away from danger

High winds were battering the Norfolk coast again, and according to one resident I talked to, much of the sandy beach had been washed away. The day improved gradually, and after lunch it was much better. Luckily I had a protective cover over the camera, which frequently blew over the lens and blocked out the best waves entirely.

The 28th February is here, and we still don't seem to have any real messages about Ipernity's future. Charles Trenet - La Mer La mer - a bercé mon cœur pour la vie. The sea - has rocked my heart for life

The village of Happisburgh in Norfolk is being consumed by coastal erosion. The coastline on which the village sits is being eroded by the sea at a rate of 12 metres per year. I have been visiting this area for the past 3 years, and have seen this rapid deterioration with my own eyes. Buildings have toppled down the cliffs, and caravan sites have had to be moved. A new car park has had to be constructed - the last one is no longer there. The sea is relentless, and the cliffs are very fragile. On the day this photo was taken, the sea was quiet, but storms last winter caused much devastation.
