At the Water’s Edge – Commended – Ian Snowdon (UK)
Saltburn by the Sea, North Yorkshire, England. This row of houses is known as the coastguard cottages and is situated on the top of Huntcliff at Saltburn by the Sea. I walk this area most days with my partner, and while sometimes we are blessed with beautiful sunrises and sunsets, I have to admit that I love the drama of a wet and windy day just as much. On this particular day I could see that we were in for a treat. The low winter sun produced beautiful light and the darkening sky added to the mood. The shot I wanted was from an elevated view, so I rushed to higher ground. The low winter sun illuminated the turbines beautifully, which were visually engulfed by the dark sky and rough sea.
