EDITORS COMMENTS
Beneath the brooding, dense clouds of a North Yorkshire dawn, the quaint fishing village of Staithes unfolds before us in this evocative photograph by Mike Kipling. The tranquil scene at Staithes beach unfolds as the tide recedes, revealing a labyrinth of rocks and pools that shimmer in the low sunlight. The sea, a deep and mysterious expanse, mirrors the moody sky above, its surface a canvas of dark, inky hues. The atmospheric stillness of the scene is broken only by the occasional ripple on the water, as if the sea itself is holding its breath in anticipation of the day to come. The reflection of the cloud formations on the water adds an ethereal quality to the image, as if the heavens have been brought down to the earth. The low sun casts long, dramatic shadows across the beach, highlighting the textures of the rocks and the intricate patterns left behind by the receding tide. The village of Staithes, nestled in the distance, appears as a picturesque silhouette against the backdrop of the sea and sky. This photograph captures the essence of the North Yorkshire coast at dawn, a time of quiet reflection and contemplation. The beauty and power of nature are on full display, reminding us of the passing of time and the ever-changing landscape of the natural world.
