Rolling waves in the middle distance break into gentle eddies and ripples onto a golden sand beach. The sky has tonal ridges of blue and grey sky.

Waves and Intentional Camera Movement make for flowing colours. A Northumberland beach in winter.

Presumably polls are based on people's voting preference 🤔, not taking into account any tactical voting. More relevant in a by-election, but no doubt will be used in a general election too. How do polls account for this? Or not?

🤣 Looks like you need a Highland pony as accessory!

People who moved to the UAE for tax purposes are now, I assume, closely examining a map of the region.

I used to dance to this at the disco. 😁💃

Many thanks Jilly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoy them. 😁

Thank you Rumyana. Comment appreciated. A straight landscape shot just doesn't convey the mood and atmosphere. It's also great that camera club judges now appreciate it, as another ICM of mine helped our Club win an external inter club competition this week. 👍😁

An abstract image of horizontal planes of light and colour using intentional camera movement to create atmosphere. The camera panned from left to right across a beach scene. In the foreground dark sand, above it the sea in tones of silver and pale green, then the sky shades of silver to dark blue cloud.

Time for an abstract #ICM image. Taken on Orkney island Sanday last summer, on a dry, but moody day of weird light and colour on the sea and sky.

The amount of joy and positivity in the U.K. this morning is wonderful. People voted for community, for inclusion, for collectivism and togetherness. This election has been a complete rejection of division, othering and nasty politics

A high contrast black and white image. In the foreground fresh water emptying onto the white sand beach has eroded the smooth, tidal beach into shallow, curving lines, which then descend into the water with deeper pockets and ripples. The whole creates a diagonal, curving line across the image from right to left, disappearing into the mid distance. The morning winter sun blazes across the sand. On the horizon lies a line of cloud darkened hills, topped by an, ominous, moody sky. Perfect for a graphic mono image. 👍😁

Successful night at local camera club #ClassicMono competition. Won digital section with #Seilebost image from last November's Harris trip. Low tide, fresh water, and sunlit white sand. Perfect for a graphic image.

Good to hear from you Sarah. Thank you. Lovely coastline, but difficult to shoot...tides, viewpoints, weather, sea, all need to aline, and mostly don't! 🙄😁 We went to Lindisfarne and best images were of harbour ropes! 😂

A minimalist, long exposure, late afternoon image consisting of the tops of six groynes poking out of a stormy sea. On the horizon is the long pier and eventual Lighthouse, which is white with two red flashes top and bottom. The blue tinted sky is reflected in the sea.

Great trip to #Northumbrland last week. Mostly dry for a change. Though just when you want calm seas some days, there were none. So the view from Spittal Beach over to Berwick-on-Tweed Lighthouse in rough seas!

Beautiful image. Such delicate, subtle tones.

February solitaire. Saltfjellet, Norway. Feb 2015.

Thank you.

A long exposure image looking out from a sandy shore to sea, with a small lighthouse on an island in the far distance. The colour tones start from golden sand to flat, black rocks with whispery waves between them. Then blue green water, and lightly pink clouds above darker blue ones.

Arrived on the #Northumberland coast for a week's photography. Weather looking much better than it did some weeks ago. 😁
An image from my last visit, looking out from Bamburgh.

Thank you Brittany. Yes, it was a great find. 👍😁

Thank you Mike. Appreciate the comment. I've just entered it into Mono competition at my camera club. Let's see if judge agrees 🤔😁

Magical. ❤️

Seriously controlling!

Thanks Loretta. Perfect for mono.

An image taken from inside a dark ruined building, looking out through an empty, rectangular window frame onto a bright scene of moorland and mountain in the distance.

Room with a View!
Great scene, shame about Moine House ruin, lying in the Flow Country between Durness and Kyle of Tongue.

Thank you. Yes, such a wide variety, though rarely stray south across the border these days. Just love the mountains, lochs, and beaches up here. However off to Northumberland coast soon. Must return to North Devon sometime too. 🤔

Thanks Rumyana. Taken a couple of years ago when I had my ancient campervan and parked for the night on north-west Lewis Coast. I miss being 'on-site' to capture moments like this. 😥

Nothing but dark grey water in the immediate foreground, and an expanse of sky filled with dark storm clouds. A burnt orange coloured gap in the clouds floods bright light rays onto a patch of sea in the distance. A lone bird can just be seen flying above the light.

Just an expanse of ocean, storm clouds, a lone bird, and weird sunset light on a previous trip to West Lewis, #OuterHebrides

Late evening pink and blue clouds reflect in a tidal pool on a sandy beach, separated by low level coastal hills.

Last light, West Lewis, for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds

Age is no excuse for lack of empathy or radicalisation. I'm 73, use the Internet but don't believe all I read. Quite the opposite. I'm more critical of MSM. However, don't mean to be sexist, but there a lot of grumpy old men out there with no hobbies or friends.

Couldn't resist a repost from a year ago for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds
New images later. Love clouds. ❤️

Gorgeous Velvia colours Dave. 🤩
