An infrared seascape taken at low tide on Cromer beach. The wet sand reflects the sky like a mirror, stretching far into the distance, where the sea meets the horizon. A handful of pale figures walk along the water’s edge, glowing softly against the dark waves. Above, the sky is immense – a velvet blue expanse scattered with luminous clouds that billow like painted silk. The scene is quiet, otherworldly, as though caught in a lull between time and tide.
Cromer Pier stretches across the frame in quiet grandeur, its silhouette balanced by the hefty rocks in the foreground. A single figure walks along the sand below, glowing faintly in the infrared spectrum. The beach is pale, almost lunar, while the sea lies calm and dark beyond. The sky above is vast and deep, almost indigo, with an eruption of bright white cloud curling over the scene like smoke.
A wide infrared shot of Cromer Pier, rising from the bright sands like an elegant silhouette. The pier’s ironwork legs stretch into the sea, supporting the ghostly pale buildings above. In the foreground, a geometric arrangement of sea defences and steps leads the eye out toward the horizon. The sky above is deep violet, the sea a midnight blue, and the entire beach seems bathed in cold light … ethereal, empty, dreamlike.
A wide panoramic view of Cromer’s beachfront, seen from a vantage point on the pier. Groynes stretch like ribs into the water, guiding the eye toward the town and the towering presence of Cromer Parish Church. The buildings are etched in light and shadow, sitting atop the cliffs like a citadel of memory. In the foreground, the sea glistens in shifting texture, dark against the bleached sky. The clouds are huge and theatrical, layered with shadow and gleam, giving the whole scene an atmosphere of quiet awe.
