The morning reed
A beautiful sunrise this over the Humber Estuary this morning, this common reed took my eye silhouetted against the rising sun and orange sky.

River Humber Sunset
Sunset over the River Humber on 18/05/18. I'd watched as the sun dipped behind a bank of cloud and I thought that was it, so I packed away the camera. Just as I was about to get back into the car, the sun re-appeared from beneath a layer of cloud and slowly moved further down behind another cloud layer. I got the camera back out and took a few images as part of the sun was sliced through by two cloud layers.
