WPC – Scale – Single File

There was such a melancholy about this scene of small posts protecting the new dunes on the beach on a very foggy morning that I had to capture it to see if anybody else saw what I did.

To me it looks like a graveyard. You captured the mood really good, it screams melancholy.

  I think had I passed it on a bright sunny day I may have just walked by, but the fog changed the whole perspective.

  When I looked it kind of reminded me of women in cloaks evacuating a village in the desert.. It had a real sadness about it. I do have a habit of putting my own emotions onto my shots lol.

    You are welcome.I always like seeing your work. It’s so very different to what i see every day in London which is a nice break for me but mainly what feelings you create in the viewer. A rare gift!

This is so atmospheric – Good eye! Fog is a little bit magic, isn’t it?

  Oh yes it really is, I love anything that sheds a new light on things, fog, snow, mist, raging wind that sends the sea into turmoil. Best time to get out with the camera.

It really looks like a place where many met their end. It looks solemn and perhaps sad.

  It does have that feel about it from this angle and with the fog falling. In reality they are just tiny pegs marking out sand dunes for protection. I love them though and will visit again with the camera. Thank you for your reply. 🙂
