A late morning walk at high tide today along Seaburn Promenade, Sunderland in NE England.
Could have done with my sunglasses heading into brilliant sunshine, the sun really low in the sky.
Today, where I live, the sun will set at its most southerly point of 228° and will continue to do so until 30 December, when it begins to set a little further north with each passing day.
In addition, sunset is 15.37 and it will continue setting at that time until 17 December, when the evenings finally begin to get lighter once again – good news if you are longing for light.

So often used to be told that "people make pictures" and how true is that remark.
One man and his doggy friend, early doors, on Roker Pier, Sunderland in NE England doing a spot of 'dawn watching'.
I would have been happy had I had the pier to myself but my two subjects helped add another dimension to the composition (especially the dog!).
Mesmerising colour contrasts with the sun just a few degrees below the horizon.

Road and rail bridges spanning the River Wear in Sunderland, NE England. An extended camera exposure to coincide with rush-hour traffic, a passing train and a sky that's not to light and not too dark!

Just five weeks into the season of spring and an early taste of 'summer' today. Warm enough to embrace an enjoyable barefoot paddle along our local Blue Flag award-winning coast at Seaburn in Sunderland.
Really good to feel the sand between the toes again!

Installation at Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve, Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland. It was gifted by RJB Mining after the site was landscaped following opencast mining operations in the 1990's and here backlit in the sunlight of a misty winter morning.
