A coastal scene at low tide on a sunny November afternoon. 
At Mawbray Banks, Solway Coast National Landscape, Cumbria, England. 
A view of the extensive sandy and rocky beach at low tide. Looking across the Solway Firth to Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The mountains of Southern Scotland with the distinctive shape of Criffel Hill are in view.
In the foreground is a brown sandy beach with ripples in the sand from the movement of the tide.
Behind this in the middle of the scene are many very shallow pools of water and rocks in different sizes and shapes. The beach appears to continue to the horizon.
The sky is pale blue with a line of white clouds on the horizon above the land in the distance.

Two Border Terriers on a shingle beach.  They are both very interested in sniffing the rows of seaweed that have been washed up onto the beach.
Behind them is the brown coloured sea with gentle waves against the shoreline.

Alfie & Hattie both love exploring the beach and seaweed. So this is a perfect day out for them. They would both happily consume their own body weight of it 🐾😀

The image taken on a bright January day captures a long exposure photograph of waves crashing on a rocky shore, offering a view across the Solway Firth towards Scotland. 
Taken at Maryport, Cumbria, England looking across the English side of the Solway Firth to the distinctive shape in the far distance of Criffel Hill, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
In the foreground the waves are crashing onto the rocky shore.
The long exposure technique gives the water a soft, misty appearance, contrasting with the sharp details of the rocks and sky.
The sky is blue with some streaky clouds.

A coastal view at Silloth-on-Solway, Cumbria on a cloudy January day looking across a calm Solway Firth towards Criffel Hill, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland. 
In the foreground the flat calm sea almost covers a wooden groyne on the left. It runs down into the sea until it is submerged and at the end of it is a groyne marker - a vertical steel pole with a triangle on top of it.
In the distance is the rolling outline of Criffel Hill on the mainland of Scotland across the Solway Firth.
The sky is full of white clouds.
