This is another image from the Whitley Bay session in mid-February. If I had been thinking straight at the time I would've taken a longer exposure shot with my ND8 as a comparison to this piece, but seeing as I wasn't and I didn't have any of that stuff with me, I didn't. I will capture some long-exposure shots of the sea at some point in future, though.
Still, this isn't terrible.
The title comes from a track by the UK band ...From The Shards Of Comets!, who came out with three or four great songs and then disappeared completely. Perhaps someone knows what happened to them.

That was the concept, so I'm glad that it has came across to the observer.

Lonely, cripplingly so, but at the same time peaceful. Like accepting, coming to terms with despair?
I should stop commenting after a certain hour. I suspect these have gotten stranger.
(which is why I'll finish commenting your writing later. lucidity is the aim.)

No, that works as a descriptive of the piece in question.

I'm glad, then.
(and this is serving to convince me that I shouldn't start reading through the rest of your pieces until after midnight. Hee.)

Heh, it was epically cold.
Ah, they weren't even hit wonders. I randomly came across them on MySpace but they were just starting to get reviews in the NME and such at that point. They probably went off to university, or something.

I can see how it would be. I'm sure it was for the people walking their dogs, anyway.
Definitely cold, too, though. D:
