A striking view from the sandy shore at Morecambe, looking across a foreground of light-coloured limestone sea defences towards the iconic Art Deco Midland Hotel. The gleaming white, curved facade of the hotel stands out vividly under a break in the clouds, contrasted against a heavy and brooding dark grey sky that looms over the vast, wet expanse of the bay at low tide. To the right, the edge of the promenade is visible with its distinctive pale green railings, while in the mid-distance, the RNLI lifeboat station sits near the water's edge. Hazy silhouettes of the Cumbrian fells are visible on the horizon, completing this atmospheric coastal scene which captures the stark, beautiful light typical of a storm clearing over the Lancashire coast.

A tranquil coastal landscape at Morecambe Bay, where two small fishing boats lie grounded on a muddy salt marsh interspersed with tufts of golden-brown grass and reflective blue pools. On the left, a sturdy red boat with a white cabin is positioned prominently, while to the right, a dark-hulled wooden vessel with a tall mast leans slightly in the soft mud. Behind them, a horizontal breakwater made of large, weathered brown rocks stretches across the frame, shielding the marsh from the calm, deep blue sea beyond. In the far distance, the hazy blue outlines of the Lakeland fells across the bay are visible beneath a pale sky, with the entire scene illuminated by the warm, low-angled light of a clear afternoon.

A wide-angled coastal view across Morecambe Bay from a rocky breakwater, looking towards the distant town of Grange-over-Sands nestled along the sloping green hills of the Cumbrian coastline. In the foreground, large, sun-drenched brown and grey boulders form a sea defence, some covered in dark green algae where the tide has receded. The calm, blue water of the bay fills the middle ground, featuring a solitary, slender timber navigation post topped with a green conical marker. Further out, a smaller spit of rock is populated by a cluster of white seabirds resting near the water's edge. Under a bright sky scattered with soft, white clouds, the scene is bathed in a crisp, clear light that highlights the white buildings of the distant settlement across the expanse of the bay.

A dramatic view of the Stone Jetty at Morecambe, captured under a heavy, brooding sky filled with dark grey storm clouds. A narrow shaft of brilliant sunlight breaks through the gloom, spotlighting the long stone breakwater and its distinctive golden-stone building, which features a small white lighthouse tower. In the foreground, the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay's wet sands at low tide creates shimmering reflections of the moody sky, while the faint, hazy silhouettes of the Lake District fells are visible across the water on the horizon. The stark contrast between the luminous jetty and the deep shadows of the encroaching storm provides a powerful sense of atmosphere and scale along the Lancashire coast.
