The sun managed to break through the wispy clouds, shimmering onto the darker waters below. I used the curve of the shingle shoreline, to guide the eye up the frame towards the one solitary building – a coastguard cottage. I used a long exposure to emphasise the sense of calm and serenity then waited for the opportune moment for the chimney to point directly up towards the setting sun. I could not have timed this any better. Bliss.
