Seclusion

Seclusion by Stuart Chapman

Seclusion

August 2007

Kingsgate Beach, Thanet, Kent

Minutes after the sun had risen up over the sea (5.35 a.m. on 4 August 2007), the low light was just lighting up the wall nicely and there was a nice selection of colours still in the sky.

Seclusion belongs to the following groups:

Beach Art, Dawn and Dusk Light and United Kingdom
