Critique Welcomed East Coast Melancholy

[Shaun Haselden]

OK, I live on the east coast of the UK around four miles from the closest beach. I live in Lincolnshire, one of the UK's flattest counties and I live on the coastal flat of an estuary. A lot of the time the sun shines and we have beautiful days but sometimes the sky glows and we have grey, overcast cloud; and we have even more beautiful days. I love these days the most.

The images shown here were taken on the Humber Estuary looking over towards the North Sea. Clearly seen is an old WWII fort known locally as Haile Sand Fort with various walkers in the foreground. I love this kind of peaceful melancholy.

Shuperb, Shaun! Sounds like the sort of place I would live in if I didn't have to work in Edinburgh.

Fine images, have a real sense of peace and quiet. It certainly looks like a flat place.

I like the simplicity of the space in these two images and also the colors--they are like Portra colors.
