These photographs of Whitstable beach were taken a few days in advance of the ‘shortest day’—for the Kick-About’s Solstice prompt—though daylight has been in very short supply, what with the storms battering the UK and the stubborn low grey cloud characterising every waking day of late.
I went out at low tide, when I knew what precious light there was would be bouncing off the exposed mud/silt/sand and the racks of the oyster beds would be visible. It was freezing cold, my hands going the pink colour of champagne rhubarb, but as luck would have it, a redoubtable dog-walker and his happy black labrador struck out towards the horizon, bringing some much-needed life to these wintry scenes.
