Giraffes - a photo on Flickriver

Giraffes

            I found this ‘tucked’ in my edited photos folder buried under a multitude of yet to be posted images! 

This is a shot from my trip to The Wirral and specifically New Brighton/Perch Rock Lighthouse. Ade McCabe was with me and we were discussing something vitally important to national security whilst looking for compositions. I’ll give the Master of Perch Rock the credit of spotting the light hitting the waves first as I had the lighthouse in my viewfinder. A call of “There’s the light’” alerted me to something going on and I saw Ade shooting towards what he calls ‘giraffes’ - so much more evocative than cranes! I couldn’t resist shooting the scene myself with the lovely light hitting the waves and spray. Thanks to Ade for downloading a part of his knowledge of the area and welcoming a Southerner!

This is almost certainly my last post for a week or 2 so my apologies if I’m off the grid a bit. The ‘wild, wild west’ (as some Flickrites call it) beckons. Lets hope for some dry weather as I’ll be in a tent!
