I've been a bit quiet as we have been away on a family holiday in Northumberland. We had a fantastic week, exploring castles and playing on the beach. The rock structures were really exciting and whilst sandcastles were being built, along with various canals, I spent some time photographing the geological features. I have a large collection of photos of rocks, still waiting to find their way into my work. But it is always good to add to the set. It got me thinking about ageing and how somethings and people age better than others. These rocks, battered by the sea, day in day out, still look fabulous and the roughness of the sea adds to their good looks as they become smoother.
