The consistency of the beach is an early morning dog walker and the birds.

Sometimes, it is nice to just wander along the beach with just the phone for a camera.

Just what the doctor ordered, was a little bit windy looking back towards Ayr beach from the pier head, few minutes later got shredded by hailstones.

Was quite nice conditions looking back towards Ayr Beach with the windy weather giving a nice well hitting onto the pier.

Not the most productive morning on the beach, but at the end of the day, it doesn't even matter.

Going through a lot just now, photography is my own therapy, these mornings on the beach and the moody skies, has been so perfect for me. Trying to catch the sand getting blown along the beach was a nice challenge .

Marram grass catching a bit of light and the lone gull in the sky, that was changing do fast with the next squall rolling in.

A bit like the gull, i had a feeling of being alone that night, was after being at the hospital and receiving bad news. My solace, was my walk along the beach.

The latitude and longitude bearings on the wall at Ayr Beach, looked at it for years, tried taking it with the camera, but super wide on the phone managed to get it all in. Might try it one night and see how the streetlight illuminates it.

Stood on the tideline feeling the strength of the waves rolling in.

For all I was well up the beach the storm sent its swell right up to where I was standing and you could still feel the power of the waves around my feet.

The suns ray shining through the cloud and hitting the water, gave such dram and the lady walking her dog, did she even notice. I nearly lost my fish supper to a gull that landed beside me.

Light dancing all over the sand abstract.

So many of the sand abstracts on the beach the other morning, some really deep ones, which is unusual, but with the stress of life, my therapy, I keep wondering, should I buy a polarizer for these.

Being on the beach is part of the process, the turmoil before me is like the emotions, I am going through.

A stormy beach picture, the turmoil is like the turmoil in the grief I am going through.

A wee de-stressing day up at Ayr, nice coffee and a tuna crunch sandwich at the Relief Cafe on the prom. Walked the Lang Scots Mile and back again over the sand.

Black&White is very much a learning process for me, learning what I like and how to process, the coast is where I seem to head for my inspiration.
#EastCoastKin
#AyrBeach
I do not think, I have a style, I take to many different things, depending on the seasons, this year was always going to be, teach myself more about black and white photography. The coast seems to be where I will take these pictures for now and probably will be a winter project. I have few folders made, on is for square crops from Ayr Beach, that I hope to make a little zine for myself, but I also have for the wider scene, the last year, I have cropped a lot at 2x1 for a lot of my pictures. Photography keeps me grounded, look through the viewfinder and all the day to day noise is lost, what you see is all that consumes me. That is what photography gives me.

A blast from the past, maybe one day that will be me sitting there watching the world go by.

#Ayrbeach
To sit at the end of the pier, just watching the fishing rod tip or just watching the world go by.

NIce low tides, left the kelp beds exposed on the beach, wish I had the long lens to punch in a little tighter, will sit on a stool next set of tides.

Catching the morning light dancing on the kelp. wish I had the long lens so I could have punched in tighter, to see, what was waiting to be discovered. Next set and all being well, will find me there.

Trying to paint with the camera, just being on a beach now, is like finding a new happy place in life again.
