Liz and I spent a few days in the autumn of 2016 at Solva, on the Pembrokeshire coast.
At low tide we were able to walk out up the short estuary and round a headland onto a secluded beach.
With flat, overcast conditions giving a diffuse, shadowless light, photographing a grand scene encompassing sand, sea and sky was a bit of a pointless exercise.
But that same flat light was ideal for picturing the details in the rocks and sand at the high water mark, especially once I'd spotted a small run-off stream forming a lovely 'S' curve along the edge of the beach.
A bit more exploring and then, with the tide coming back in, it was time to retreat back up the estuary for a coffee in the cafe on the harbour wall.
What a lovely place Solva is.
