Bikes
A line of vintage motorcycles leads off into the distance, a Moto Guzzi V7 Special model taking pride of place.

Black Maria
A 1952 Morris Commercial police truck, or Black Maria, to use the common parlance for a vehicle used for prisoner transport, stands here beside an Atkinson lorry dating to 1968.

Land Rover Ambulance
I *think* this is a Land Rover Series IIa ambulance, with production dating to 1971, but vehicle identification is not my strong suit. I can make a decent , and often accurate, attempt, but it’s very easy to miss the nuance that can be present with such detective work. Anyway, what I’m trying to say in a very long winded way is, I might be wrong. 🙂

Steam rally scene
I think that this picture works quite well, the traction engine and steam roller, as well as the people in the scene are nicely placed. Quite often I get one or the other, not both, so I’m pleased how this one turned out.

Weather-worn groyne
I wonder what this wooden groyne looked like when brand new? And when it actually was brand new? It would be interesting to know how many years of being pounded by waves, pebbles, and sand it took to reduce it to this somewhat broken-toothed appearance.

Beach steps
At Hornsea, where the wooden groynes meet the sea wall, concrete steps have been placed to allow people to bypass the wooden structures. The sun was bright and contrasty by the time I made these pictures and, as I had a roll of Fuji Acros in the camera at this point, I thought that these steps might make for decent subjects.

Decorative dinghy
While I’m sure that this little boat once served some actual water-borne purpose, it now looks to serve as decoration for this building which houses a shop, a cafe, and I believe, the inshore rescue service.

Precariously perched
I spoke a little about the erosion that is taking place on the shoreline of Yorkshire’s east coast the other day. These two pictures show how close to the edge some of these caravans are sat. While they no doubt have wonderful views out over the North Sea, I think I’d be tempted to move to a new pitch if I was the owner.
This video gives a good view of just how parlous the situation is for structures placed close to the cliff tops in this region.

Footprints in the sand
Someone had been walking barefoot across the beach at Hornsea on the day I visited. Whoever they were, they had moved out of sight before I came across their tracks.
I like this picture but can’t help but think that there was a better one to be had. I wanted to keep the building in frame at the upper right, and I wanted a crashing wave as well, both of which I’m happy with, but the placement of the footprints isn’t quite how I’d like it.
Scenes like this require care. walk into the scene and, to quote Joel Meyerovitz, it becomes bruised – in this case the risk that the smooth sand becomes tarnished with my own footprints as well as the unknown walker’s. Maybe I should have sought out more patience but, as usual when I visit somewhere that’s not as easy to get to, I like to try and maximise my value from the day and see as much as I can, which means I tend not to hang around a sinmgle location of photo opportunity for too long. Perhaps I would improve my photography if I did.
