i just love the light in this shot Stuart, especially the way it’s reflected not only off the water, but even the seaweed.

Wow! Stuart, this is stunning! The colours in this are amazing and the timing just as the sun is behind that rock is brilliant.. very nice silhouette with a burst of light emerging and I love how it spreads across the sky. Looks great in portrait with some lovelly detail in the foreground… I’m hoping for some days like this when I am back!

You’re mad…5.52am at St. Margaret’s Bay. Did you camp out or travel down from Canterbury?
But I suppose it was worth it ;) Amazing shot, fantastic colours and sky.
Stuart Chapman replied
25 minute drive from Canterbury, 4.00 a.m. alarm call – but it really was worth it that morning.

p.s. the multimap link seems to show the centre of Folkstone.
