Winter Morning

I worked until 3am this morning building wedding albums, editing, downloading and ordering prints. I was super tired as I slunk into bed but for the life of me I couldnt sleep a wink, my head far too buzzy with work stuff.
At 6am after around 1 hour drifting in and out of sleep I finally admitted defeat, I switched on the news, checked the weather and decided I needed some proper chill time by the sea.I have had this shot in my head for about a year but time and conditions have never seemed to allow for it to come to fruition, so with the weather saying clear and windy I headed down to St.Abbs head on the Berwickshire coast.I had checked the tide times and guessed I would be bang on by arriving there at 8ish but to my dismay, the tide was too far out and it became apparent that the initial image I had in my mind would have to wait yet another day, as time again was tight and I had to be back to work by 12pm.I wandered in the moonlight around the slipway area and came across a nice alcove which Id never been in before (quite tidal and secluded) I slipped and squirmed my way over a few seaweedy boulders (vibram soles + wet rock + Seaweed = Sketch fest) and got established on a rock at the entrance where numerous seabirds floated around, checking out the new arrival.I took a few long exposures of the headland and rocks leading out to the sea, trying to work out the geology but also feeling familiar with the shapes of the Greywacke rock which this part of the coast is famous for, on which I have had numerous days rock climbing, some very good, some absolutely terrifying, as is the order of the day with sea cliffs.After about an hour the sun was up and the quiet light of dawn had gone, so I packed up and retreated to the warmth of the car and for a well earned power nap.
