Sometimes you just get lucky. This is the mouth of the estuary at Arnside, Cumbria, where two of the abundant local rivers flow out into Morecambe Bay.
During the previous half hour, and further upstream, I had taken several shots on the tiny beach where we sometimes walk Tess, our Collie dog–and finish the day with the excellent local fish and chips.. With the light fading, we were turning the car around here in the tiny harbour, when the sky suddenly exploded with orange liquid.
I stopped the car and literally ran back to this, the best vantage spot, and took about twenty variants till the moment passed and night encroached…

Love Arnside. Always make a detour there for a brew on my way to the Lakes.

Feature-rich and friendly. One of our favourite dog walking spots, too.
