After a stormy Friday night in February we made post haste to Happisburgh to see what was happening with the sea defences. The water was churned brown in colour and the waves were quite choppy but not as large as I would have liked. One of the caravans from the park at the top of the cliff had been damaged and it looked as if the nearer caravans should be evacuated. The weather was changeable with deep clouds and sunshine alternating. The first picture shows the colour of the water but the rest of these I have converted to black and white in Silver Efex Pro 2 using the Tri X preset to get a bit of grainy contrast. I included the picture of Alan as I only realised afterwards that he had a little man on his shoulder. It reminded me of one of the 'Ghost Stories of an Antiquary' by M R James -  'Whistle and I'll Come to You' which was set on the Norfolk coast. He is wearing the strange glasses to stop the sand blowing in his eyes!

We had been blessed with some early dramatic, stormy skies and I took advantage of this with a solitary excursion to the beach at Trefor, where there is a good view of Garn For and it's quarry. It is about a 1/2 mile walk from the town to the beach passing through a narrow walled footpath sided by pastureland. The beach is rather scruffy and stoney but has a good backdrop of hills.
