Taken in Blakeney Cut this evening. The sky just seemed to become more and more intense as I took a brief walk with the dog, until it made the mud glow with pinks and orange.

Sunsets
Sunset sooner, softer
The clocks went back at the weekend and suddenly the evening walk with the dog has become the afternoon walk again. The light was golden and soft today, diffused through the soft whisps of the marsh plants. Winter often provides the best sunsets.

Mud, beautiful mud
An acquired taste, perhaps, but the glow of sunlight on the wet mud of shallow East Coast harbours is a beautiful thing. If you feel the same and haven’t yet read Maurice Griffith’s The Magic of the Swatchways, you really must.

Sunset colours on Blakeney Quay, Norfolk
The year marches on towards the season of low, heavy skies and the rich, deep red sunsets of winter.

Sunrise time-lapse over Blakeney and Cley marshes
The sun rises about a quarter past seven at this time of year, emerging from the low hills behind Cley as you look back across the fresh water marsh from Blakeney. If you’re lucky, you see the silhouette of Cley windmill emerging and the swaying reeds bathed in the glowing light.
This was shot as a video over about twenty minutes on a morning dog walk, then edited afterwards to speed it up.
Somewhere out there a salty old dock is always waiting for you to tie up alongside 😎 ⛵ ⚓ 🛶 🚣
This one happens to be in Morston, part of Blakeney Harbour on the North Norfolk coast.

Autumn reflections on the salt marsh
Calm days are less frequent at this time of year, but when they arrive, the sky pools in the salt marsh light up with colour and reflection.

Mooring ropes and sky colours at Morston
An October sunset amid the boats
It was one of those magical sunsets yesterday, when the heavy, grey sky suddenly lights up at the last minute. Taken at Morston, on one of the little docks where the sailing boats moor.
