Old Lifeboat Ramp

A deserted beach on the Norfolk coast where I used to spend summer holidays as a child. It's winter, around sunset, and the clouds are colourful. There is a stiff wind, as always, but you can't really see that in the picture. Some of the stone structures are part of fortifications constructed during the Second World War; the rusty iron supports hold up an old wooden lifeboat ramp that leads to nowhere. On the left are sand dunes that I once climbed and explored -now they are closed off and protected from erosion. For me the picture has a bit of mystery about it, yet a benign sort of mystery -and beaches always appeal to me! Location: Hemsby, England
