Big Skies, Small Boats

Captured on my last visit to the North Norfolk Coast, this image shows Beach road, the mile long path which connects the bustling little town of Wells-Next-The-Sea to the beach itself. You can see people walking along the route which can become very busy during the warmer summer months and crowded with the beautiful vibrant blue Viper's Bugloss wildflower. The eagle eyed may spy the lifeboat house just to the right of the walkers in this image. It was recently breached by the tidal surge that caused such havoc amongst the local communities. Norfolk is famous for its open spaces and big skies and I wanted to try and convey this in my image. Amber, the little sailing boat, the perfect subject to use as a focal point helps add to the sense of scale.
