This is one of the original postcards that proved very popular, the dark shades of blue and the strong silhouette seem to work for many people. I love the way the light from the sky is reflected in the water flowing between the ripples of sand on the beach.
The picture was captured on a January evening about 45 minutes after sunset, The tide was just on the turn and it was one of those days when a big bank of cloud builds up on the western horizon at sunset, the highlights on the beach are from small gaps in the higher clouds, the last blue light of the day before it was extinguished completely by an approaching storm. The picture looks deceptively calm but in fact the clouds were moving swiftly in from the west, other pictures taken at this time show them as blurred fast moving shapes in the sky.
The exposure for this image was around 15 seconds and it is this long exposure that has calmed the rough waters and created the smooth reflections around the iron man.
