Gateholm and Skokholm July 20th 2025
Not so many people know this scene – Albion Sands at high tide, viewed from low level. There’s a simple reason: whilst the water looks so placid, just to my left it was rushing past, creating a fierce tide race you’d never fight, were you to try taking a swim. However, as you will see from my notes, the sea colours made the scramble down and across to this vantage point worthwhile; so, if I can work out a better composition (some foreground interest?), it could be worth hauling all the painting gear to this spot.
