The barn on the marsh

A wet miserable morning takes me down to Porlock Marsh. This big marsh area borders the sea to my left and the inland hillside and villages near Porlock to my right. I fell in love with this area which had many footpaths over the tidal marsh and border but it was the old dead trees that captured my imagination. A real sense of wanting more time in other seasons too so I could explore with different lighting and weather. That being said, I do like this subdued view here which would make a great setting for the Charles Dickens ‘Great Expectations’novel.

Viewed large, this is a beautiful image of this soggy landscape and marvellous old stone and slate barn, Herb. I hope you're not being affected by the vile weather there, as seen on my news this evening.

Thanks George. Always good when you like my captures. We in the NW of England have not faired too bad but the NE of Scotland have had terrible floods and winds. All beginning to calm down now.

The grey skies and hazy background make this a very atmospheric image Herb. I love your composition...........the barn is perfectly placed in the frame and the dead trees are very photogenic.

Yes, a very atmospheric view for sure my friend. Always a job trying to get the best viewpoint and composition but I was happy wit this. You will see more of the trees some day.

This is another one of your photos, Herb, where I feel as if I'm there. An excellent depiction of a wet, foggy day.
