Description
This is a view of the sun setting over Minehead, Somerset, England, as seen from the village of Blue Anchor, just after the tide has gone out. The sunset reflected off every bit of wet sand and water, left by the retreating sea. The beach is quite flat so the sea comes in and goes out very fast. I don't know how many times I've stood on that beach during the years when my first two children were growing up, but it's a lot. Before my first visit, I hadn't even heard of Blue Anchor. It's a delightful little place, just up the coast from Minehead. There is a preserved steam railway, The West Somerset Railway, which runs along this part of the coast. If you like fishing, walks in beautiful countryside and steam trains, then this place is heaven on earth. It's been so long since I last gazed on this beloved Somerset landscape that I feel like I'm being torn apart from inside. This is my Shangri-La and one day I will get back there, I promise!

Martin, this is very lovely! I really like the spread of the light and the gradual shifting of color!
