I wandered down to Garwick Bay on Sunday. It’s a secret, secluded little bay, next one along from Laxey heading south. It’s about a ten minute walk from the coast road, down a steep, bumpy, windy road. Lots of ancient trees, many sea birds (although I didn’t photograph any) and not another soul in sight! It’s an odd, lonely little place now but I can imagine years ago it was a bustling fishing bay.

February Laxey sunrise sequence

Yesterday’s sunrise was unusual as it started with ugly little black clouds that absorbed the redness of the sun.  Once the sun had started to rise, the fire cooled down and the sky became cool and subdued. Half moon still out and visible and greater visibility than on an average day as I could see the Cumbrian hills on the UK mainland (my true home land). It all lasted about an hour finishing with a colourless sky in the final photographs. Click on the gallery and join me as I walk along the beach!
