Aberlady
In her song, 'Nocturn', Kate Bush wrote - "Look at the light, all the time it's changing, look at the light".
And this was my experience recently in a little place on the east coast of Scotland called Aberlady.
There, while photographing otherwise fairly ordinary wooden posts at the edge of a field beside a nature reserve, the last rays of sunlight of the day broke through the dusk sky and cast a golden light across the land.
It lasted only a few moments, but in that instant, everything was different; colours came alive, shadows danced and played, and molten gold poured across the sky and bathed everything in it's warmth.
It was precisely for moments such as those that I named this site 'A Sky Of Honey'.
There is an old wooden bridge spanning the bay at Aberlady and in the right light, this is very photogenic, with views looking out across the water to Fife.
A little further along the coast is the village of Dirleton, with it's village green and little country church with the most extraordinary tower. Indeed, every place I stopped at during that trip was quite lovely and picturesque.
And yet, despite all the beautiful scenery I saw on that trip, my favourite photographs of the day were of those common wooden posts, transformed in that astonishing golden light before vanishing as suddenly as it appeared..
