Seaside Café

This is another picture from a series I took one afternoon in Lowestoft on the eastern coast of England when the sky was dramatically magnificent and the light magical. It was long before the bright sunshine of summer causes this promenade to fill with life, but there's a vacant table. optimistically set up outside the café and a single guest – an equally optimistic seagull hoping for a treat. I took some shots here in black and white too, but I found the pale yellow light in the distance particularly beautiful and mellow. I am also constantly fascinated by and attracted to the wistful emptiness of places that at other times of the year teem with life. Location, Lowestoft, England
