We’re in Norfolk, where we go every year in order to write our Christmas cards. (We discovered years ago that they never get done in the chaos of normal home life.) This afternoon we took a break and went to the Staithe, which we had to ourselves. The tide was out and the whole place was beautifully quiet and deserted, so the only thing to do before the light went completely was to see if an HDR shot was possible. This is it.

Shock, horror!
