Sand dune and fencing at Formby Point, England. Winter storms and high spring tides had taken their toll on the landscape at Formby Point, and the in some places the dunes had been considerably eroded since I was last there only a few months ago. This area is owned by the National Trust and they were working hard at conserving this area of Britain's coast.

Dune fence and wire at Formby Point, England. late March saw another trip to Formby Point near Southport in England. It was an unexpectedly sunny day so I managed to get a few more shots of the sand dunes on the beach here.

Sand dune fencing at Formby Point. This is a shot that worked equally well in black and white and colour, and therefore it relies almost entirely on strong composition.

Fence around Mow Cop castle folly. I just loved the strong dominant shape of this fence and the way it leads the eye into the picture. This works even better in high contrast black and white. A low viewpoint was chosen to help eliminate any distracting background, and a wide andle lens used (28mm) to increase the sense of perspective.
