Lake tree

I came across this tree living happily on the side of the lake. The way the light was it created a great reflection and there was a lovely reflection from the land in the background too. It looked slightly surreal to me so I thought it would make a nice picture.

There's never two identical sunsets, no matter how many times you watch the sun go down. On this occasion there was a huge rain cloud and some haze which all diffracted the light from the sun in various ways, creating these beautiful rays of varied colours.

On a hot, hazy day in summer you'd be forgiven for thinking that the world just disappears out at sea, as the haze slowly reduces visibility and creates a surreal landscape.

Walking along the cliff top I was watching the sunset and as I walked I saw that it was going to shine between two outcrops of rock and create a highlight on the water. I waited at the right spot to get the shot and this is it.

A lone woman walks along the pebble beach at Newgale in south Wales. The beach is very difficult to navigate due to the stones which stretch for about 100 metres to the sea and cover an area about 400 metres long.

These wood stakes or posts were probably part of an old long gone jetty. They remain upright in the water and on a still day they are reflected as if in a mirror, so that you cna barely tell which way is up. Taken at Derwent water, Keswick, in the English Lake District.
