The Everlasting Magic Hour




Over one of our occasional fry-ups at Sugar & Spice in Pershore this morning, Peter and I fell to discussing the way that, given a bit of sun and the approach of the midwinter solstice, the 'magic hour' seems to last all day.






Possibly this pair of pictures I took in Arnside, Lancashire, yesterday, illustrate the point. Both were taken at about one-o'clock. What they don't show is the biting north wind sweeping across this arm of Morecombe Bay down from the mountains of the Lake District. Not photography for wimps.

The fat & cholesterol keep out the cold, which is why I believe a "full english" cooked breakfast produces wimp-free photographers.
