It is often the drama created by weather that enables me to capture a special image. Keeping a close eye on the weather app and being prepared for extremes is all part of the demands for landscape photography. The Beast from the East bought travel problems but also created opportunity I could not resist. My inner voice convinced me this was a time for action. My reward was Poole Harbour at low tide, carpeted in snow, leaving a lonely boat sitting on a white blanket. The scene spoke to me of bleak abandonment . The falling snow and flat white foreshore created challenges but I succeeded in capturing the solitude of the scene. A fifteen minute journey home turned into four hours, but it was worth the effort. My inner voice rewarded. A scene or boat not to be abandoned or forgotten.
