Dawn to Dusk (February 2020)

The day that started with dawn photography at Burnham-on-Sea ended with sunset images at Clevedon Pill - see my previous posts, starting with Burnham Lighthouse - Part 1.

It had been a few years since I had covered both ends of a day with photography and I thoroughly enjoyed it, apart from the getting up bit! At one time, 90% plus of my photography would have been taken in the golden hours but more recently I moved away from the ‘classic’ landscape composition and find myself looking for more abstract subjects or simply enjoying the light regardless of the time of day.

This final selection reflects that change. It starts with a set of abstract style images focusing mainly on the mud banks at Clevedon Pill and then a few landscapes which capture the golden light at the end of the afternoon:

This channel is called the Blind Yeo which drains into the Severn. It is a man-made river constructed in 1949 to alleviate flooding in the Kenn Valley:

These are the final shots of the day. The first is a wider angle view of the Clevedon Pill inlet and Wain's Hill in golden light, followed by a few views of the afterglow, looking across the mouth of the Severn to Wales:
