Another from the archives, this time back to 2011 captured in front of Taigh An Clachair, the property where we stayed in Lybster. The setting sun kisses the standing stones and turns them a fiery red. The perfect end to the day.

Captured at the end of the jetty at Burnham on Sea, Somerset. One little girl has her eyes firmly on the horizon and the other jumps for joy so a fitting image for New Year's Eve I think. Happy New Year to you all. Whatever lies over the horizon I wish you all good health and happiness in 2024. Life is a beach so whether you are leaving your own footprints in the sand, watching the sun setting on the horizon with a sense of wonder or feeling the breeze ruffling your hair, the sun on your back, sand between your toes or the first soft raindrops on your face I wish you joy and enrichment from these simple pleasures. I also wish you safe harbour in life's stormy times and light to brighten the darker moments. Thank you for all your continued friendship and support in 2023. Happy New Year!

Golden light on the beach at Burnham on sea and in the foreground the end of a small channel dug out by some energetic young beach visitors. I have added 'End of the Line' by the Traveling Wilburys www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMVjToYOjbM This picture is for Pam who misses the sea, and for all those who are not fortunate to be able to enjoy the wonder of sunset on sea. The music 'The End of the Line' refers to where the channel 'line' reaches the sea, but it is also because the music is uplifting and Tom Petty had such a cute smile in this video!! Best viewed large I think. Thank you

Captured early evening at Burnham on sea, Somerset. The good weather brought people to the beach to enjoy a stroll or a little beach fun. Some creative visitor to the beach has created a channel, or groove, all the way down to the water's edge. As this is Bridgwater Bay, on the Bristol Channel, it is effectively 'channel to channel'. I have included a PiP from later on in the evening showing a dog having fun on the beach. An instrumental called 'A Summer Night's Dream' is my musical link and is performed by EUGE GROOVE www.youtube.com/watch?v=BanxB4jtK8U

A Burnham on Sea sunset with the pier in the foreground. The amusements might make some people happy but the sunset over the bay is what makes me smile Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel ' Make Me Smile ('Come up and see me) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAoaVU3-ve0 I wish you all plenty of smiles and a very happy weekend, HFF!

Taken at Burnham on Sea. The setting sun across the water lends a mellow and romantic mood, and I have paired this with the chilled out track Sunset in the Blue' by Melody Gardot www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AougXoy9kk Please view large for full effect

Sunset after a cloudy day, and the light alone was worth going out for. Taken at North Drain on the Somerset Levels.

Sunset at Blue Anchor bay and I wanted to capture the light on the railings Somewhere to lean and watch the sunset so I added Paul Weller and 'As you lean into the light" www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD8T_mpIMhA HFF everyone

Evening light on Combwich Wharf on the River Parrett, Somerset. Once the site of an ancient ferry crossing the port was used for the export of local goods and import of timber from the 15th Century. The village was the centre for brick and tile making from as long ago as 1842, and it served as the local brick and coal yard until the 1930s when the creek silted up. The spur of water that served the wharf is known as Combwich Pill and Combwich wharf is currently being used for the delivery of large equipment for use on the Hinkley Point C power station The PiP shows an historic channel marker buoy at the wharf. I have added a song by the Grateful Dead, - 'Wharf Rats' www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_pH-RWHLyo

Burnham on sea and the 'Dreamer' is caught in the golden light of the gently setting sun. I have added 'Dreamer' by Supertramp as a link www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD1MJRXnZfE Please view large. Thank you.

Taken at Steart, Nr Bridgwater. Looking out over the Bristol Channel with Hinkley Point power stations A - C in the distance, The A station reactors have been decommissioned, B station is still active and the building of C station is well underway. All that money and power - but the glory is all natural with this golden sunset. I have added Lana del Rey and 'Money, Power and Glory' www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3t8L5sfJto

Pictured on the Somerset Levels. I loved the shape of this poor broken tree, and also the way it seemed to point like an arrow in the direction of the softly setting sun. I have added a song called 'Broken' by the Trees www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIMV-V_-AAI and 'Directions' by Carole King www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwUCiLS2Cbc

Birnbeck Island. I have memories of this pier when it was still in use and paddle steamer boat trips that left from here. It is sad to see it broken and neglected. My link is 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Green Day www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soa3gO7tL-c I have also added Avril Lavigne's 'Broken Memories' www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_JLUeK5nTc

Sunset and wet sand on Burnham beach. The link is 'Wet Sand' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers www.youtube.com/watch?v=-66h7hHWx8Q The tide leaves puddles and trails of water in the sand that made me think of the second link I have added, -'Scar Tissue' also by the Red Hot Chili Peppers www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzJj5-lubeM

December Sunset Burnham Pier, the shortest pier in Britain, bathed in golden light. The pier is over 100 years old and was the first to be constructed with reinforced concrete. It is currently up for sale. The link is a little tongue in cheek, - here is Kirsty McColl and 'There's A Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis' www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL2GmaI3Xus

Early evening sunset at Loch Leven The evening light lends a pink warmth to this shot, and whilst it is not brick, nor technically a wall the the breakwater and the colours made me think of 'Another Brick in the Wall' by Pink Floyd www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SmRIGd6zvg Please view large - 'press z'
