I was struck by the blue-grey of the sky against the green of the sea on this particular day in mid-December, not quite fully realised by the final image, but such a view is available from many East-West streets in Brighton and Hove.
In October we joined the Ramblers for a walk from Falmer to Rottingdean (a little over 7 miles) on the South Downs. I took a lot of landscape pictures of the lovely English countryside along the way (more to come in future posts).
As I’m just getting to mid-October pictures now in December I’ll revert to 2 posts a day until I’m a bit more caught up.
The light in the clouds on the right, above, is not the sun, but a bit of a solar halo (see last post) – the sun is off to the left, just out of shot.
You can just see 2 points in this solar halo, either side of the sun.
A circular rainbow around the sun is known as a solar halo, which occurs when sunlight interacts with ice crystals in the atmosphere, typically found in thin, high-altitude clouds. This phenomenon creates a ring of light, often appearing at a 22-degree angle from the sun, and can sometimes display colors similar to a rainbow.
There’s just something about a line of beach huts and the sea and sky…
Yet another geometric abstraction from the 2006 archive.
On June 21st we walked along the shore to Hove to see the sunset. (Click to see them full screen.)
