The shoreline in autumn

The waves peter out over the pebbles 

The early evening light is fading

gulls circle 

Stillness in the clouds filled autumn skies 

Like a turner painting in a gallery were the lights are about to be switched off

 

 

Figures recede like ants into the distance 

A light flickers on above the sign at a local pub along the shore line 

All is silent but the low hum of the wind 

 

Somewhere in the village boots are been kicked off

The coal fire is burning gently 

the kettle is on the stove about to boil

You have captured those tints and hues of sea and sky on the shore. I enjoyed that being brought back to mind. And the warming contrast of home! Rhiannon
