Stand-by

This view along the Shore is in danger of being over-blipped (mea culpa!). I wasn't out for long but it was perishing cold so I chose not to wait for half an hour in the hope of a more spectacular sky.

Lali got a great shot in the opposite direction yesterday , though.

Edit: Heard later that one of my oldest friends died this morning, in a hospital in Nottingham. She'd been admitted shortly before Xmas but was supposed to be coming out by New Year - I only found out last week that she was getting worse instead of better. In terms  of the love that she gave she had one of the biggest hearts imaginable, so it was somehow strange that it should be her physical heart that failed her in the end. Goodbye, dearest Pat.
