Northumberland Coast

I regularly travel up to Northumberland for holidays so close to the sea that I am almost falling in. The beaches are magnificent and expansive and even after a few trips I am discovering, or being told about, new secret places that I love straight away. I regularly stay in Amble with it's friendly atmosphere and lovely harbour. Taking a lot of photographs around Amble means that Coquet Island can appear in a lot of my images so I do have to work the angles to keep it out of view. I love to watch for shapes made by the sea on the shore with sand and rocks although I am happy to photograph anything that catches my eye.

December is the time I like to visit as the beaches are quiet and the light is lovely throughout the day. Yes, it can be cold and wet but as the days are short I’m not suffering too much. However, every time that I visit I discover a new beach and location for photographs and there are far too many places to see in a single week.
