TS 15 all five

Excuse the pun in the title – this is for Thursday Special: Pick a Word and I tried to get a photo which satisfies all 5 in one go AND it is a photo from Holy Island (Lindisfarne) off the coast of Northumberland.

Setting – well the hue of the photo suggests it was close to sunset.

Nubilous – slightly fuzzy, not very clear, it definitely is, due to zooming in so close, and the lateness of the day.

Motley – very much a motley collection of boats on an untidy looking beach at low tide.

Growth – maybe a slight stretch but the ruins of the old priory look to me as if they were growing out of the soil.

Nautical – no comment needed.

Earth, wind and fire … and water

The photo was taken on the causeway between Northumberland on the mainland and Holy Island – a stretch of road that is completely under water during high tide.

The first picture is pretty much as I took it and how I remember it.  But then I started to play around with the editing functions of my photo program and I realised that depending on the effect, a different element was emphasised.

For me – with my landlocked upbringing – the seaside is a wonderous place where I find the immediacy of the elements is ever present.
