A photo from Morecambe Bay in NW England taken in the hour after dawn.
With the sand still wet from a sudden rainstorm and the ebbing tide, the land and sea seemed to blend into one vast landscape.

@Monique: Thanks Monique...the light was truly beautiful that morning!
@Suzanne: Thanks Suzanne!
@thierry: Thanks Thierry!
@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks Alfredo....it's not very often that I try a 'high key' photo but I was pleased with the way this turned out!
@Anna.C: Thanks Anna!
@MadScientist: Thanks. Yes, I was very lucky with the light that morning. I had two tries at capturing it....this was from the second attempt using a 2 stop nd grad filter in front of the lens which allowed me to equalize the brightness between sky and land. The photos that I took without the filter were no good.
@mo.langel: Thanks very much!
@Florence: Thanks Florence.....I was glad that I had a wide angle lens to photograph this scene and give some idea of the huge scale of Morecambe Bay.
@Paco Díaz: Thanks Paco!
@Viewfinder: Thanks.....the place really as big and empty as it looks on this photo!
@Barmak: Thanks very much Barmak!
@Laurie: Thanks Laurie....it was nice to try something a little different.
@Loretta: Thanks Loretta!
@Frida: Thanks Frida!
@sorter: Thanks very much!
@hugo poon: Thanks Hugo....I don't do many 'high key' photos so it was nice to give it a try on this one. Although I used the 10-20 wide angle lens, I don't think I've exaggerated the scale of the bay as it is a vast, impressive and beautiful empty space.
@Michael Skorulski: Thanks very much Michael!
@Polydactyle: Thanks very much Polydactyle!
@Daryl: Thanks Daryl!
