I'm writing this on Tuesday 7 July.  I've been to hospital to get my bloods done for my forthcoming check-up, and while in that neck of the woods felt it impolite to not carry on down to the Mumbles with my camera.

I've been starved of landscape photography for almost 4 months, so thought I'd take advantage of a small relaxation in Welsh Government rules to head to the beach - Bracelet Bay to be precise.

The middle of a dark, grey day isn't the best time for taking seascape pictures.  But, with a filter or two and some artistic license I was able to get something reasonably dramatic that maybe tells a story of my first day out in months!

Anyway, enough of this waffle, you're here for the pictures.  Well after such a long break I didn't just get one image.  I got three I'm happy to share.  Which is your favourite?  I like the first one best.
