The Seafront at Lowestoft

One of my ongoing projects is visiting and photographing 100 towns on the coast of the British Isles. I have done about 6 or 7 places so far, but there is no rush –I take one place at a time; visiting one location on each visit I make to the Isles, and give that place my full attention for a few days. Possibly it will take the rest of my life to complete the hundred, but that is not important. What is important is capturing the essence of each coastal town I visit. Though all are united by their proximity to the sea, each place is unique in mood and atmosphere. I've collected the images from this project under the label "UK coast", so if you're interested in seeing the growing variety of images take a look there. My itinerary is a bit erratic, neither clockwise or anti-clockwise around the coast, but ultimately I will have visited the whole lot –and will no doubt then find yet another place, and another that I missed! This picture is from Lowestoft in Suffolk, taken on a day when the sun and clouds and sea danced a glorious ballet in front of me, creating vivid and beautiful patterns of light.
