Non shop day, go seeking new inspirations

So, it’s Wednesday and this week I am not on shift, I will be for the 21 and 28 of April. I woke early and knew the bay was forecast to be calm. I was up early and on the water by 06:30 so got to watch sunrise while out in Swanage Bay.

It was very calm, quiet. Some dog walkers, runners and sea swimmers. I eventually paddled as far as Sheps Hollow at the end of the groynes and managed beach. I took some video clips and photos with my phone which lives in a waterproof case for this purpose.

Later in the morning we met friends for a drink at the 1859 (pier cafe) and then a walk and more photos with the camera of the variety of boats and people enjoying the sea.

Swanage has so many ways to inspire the artist and I have more links to follow up in future work.
