The small seaside village of Arnside seldom disappoints in providing us photographers with scenes animated by extraordinary light.
Facing west out into the northern end of Morecambe Bay the estuary features complex tides, the outflowing confluence of three local rivers, and some of the most spectacular skies in Britain.
We even have our own ‘bore’, much like the River Severn, but considerably smaller in amplitude.
The sky is the constantly-changing star. There is always so much energy up there that no visual moment can be guaranteed to last. If you see it, take it has to be the sentiment.
This shot was taken mid-afternoon, when the light was dropping like a stone. In the resulting gloom – which had painted the village a seeming coal-black – there emerged a fluffy tunnel of golden light.
As taken. No filters or effects.
