The Holy Island of Lindisfarne

Lindisfarne Castle

A long exposure of Lindisfarne Castle, taken during the evening golden hour in summer. The setting sun was creating these beautiful pink colours in the sky, and the long exposure really allows those colours to stretch out with the clouds. The wind was strong and so I had to shield my tripod from being blown around whilst I took the shot.

Reflected

The Pilgrim's walk on Lindisfarne at sunset. The tide was fast approaching and closing off the walk, but the sunset was so strong with stunning colours and warm tones. I stood for a while and just watched the colours gradually change until the sun was finally gone. The light there is incredible.

Cossing

A pink ambient light glowed and affected everything it touched for about 20 minutes after sunset as I stood on the causeway, waiting for the tide to come in. Soon the bridge and the way to the Holy Island would be cut off for another tide.

Boat House

Lindisfarne harbour just before sunrise. Beautiful glow and soft tones of colour and light. People use these upturned boats to store their boating equipment in.

Early morning walks

One summer I was walking very early, watching the dawn and allowing myself to soak up the glorious view from Lindisfarne out into the North Sea. As I stood gazing out to sea, the sun broke through and sent a beam of light out through the clouds. I was the only one standing there this early in the morning, amazed at how lucky I was to witness such a special moment of glory.
