Coast

On a beautiful walk but on a very flat light day, with my snapshot camera, how to capture a stunning vista in such conditions? this was my attempt, pointing the camera through some faded fence. I love being beside the sea, having grown up in a coastal town. How to capture the feeling that the sea gives you?
Taken on a walk from Sandsend to Runswick Bay, I'd love to do it again in better photo taking light.
