Naze Sunrise

So there I was, walking down the steps to the seafront at Walton-On-The-Naze in Essex at 7.15am on a Thursday morning, the wind howling in my face, the temperature around 4 degrees, thinking to myself, “what…the…hell…am…I…doing…here?“

I was just about ready to pack up and return home, when the sun very kindly decided to peek his head out the curtain of clouds and bathe the sea in warm(ish) sunlight.

Walton-on-the-Naze is a small town in Essex, England, on the North Sea coast in the Tendring district. It is north of Clacton and south of the port of Harwich. It abuts Frinton-on-Sea to the south, and is part of the parish of Frinton and Walton. It is a resort town, with a permanent population of about 12,000. It attracts many visitors, the Naze being the main attraction.

Like the lovely low angle Dan and the light on the rocks is sublime. The water movement is spot on and love how it swirls around the rocks

Thanks Stuart – I’d literally started to pack up when the sun came out, triggering a mad scramble to set the tripod and camera up again…! Thanks for commenting.

Dan Biggins replied

Thank you Edite! I was pleased with how this turned out, and thrilled you like it.

This is fantatstic Dan! Bet you are glad that you stuck around to get this! The light is stunning… I love the bit of warm light reflected on the sea and rocks at the base of shot and the swirling water is wonderful. Brilliant composition with the breakwater directing you to the sunlight… an instant favourite.
Dan Biggins replied

Thanks Paul – I was that close to packing up when the sun peeked through the clouds, and felt thankful as not much was inspiring me up until that point! Really glad you like it and thanks for “faving” it too.

Thanks Lorraine…I questioned my sanity while slowly being consumed by frostbite, but thankfully the sun came out just in the nick of time! Appreciate your comment, many thanks.
