Lookout

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 24 July 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

As an Architect I am fascinated by the way this building on the beach in Morecambe on the North West coast of England sits so naturally in the landscape. Somehow to me it conjures up the romance of those great images we have all seen of the beautiful beaches in Calfornia with their elevated lifeguard look-out huts.

However this beautiful looking Bay has its dark side. Although the sea looks placid on this photo, Morecambe Bay has one of the fastest and most dangerous tide races in the world - a few years ago 18 cockle pickers were tragically trapped by the incoming tide as night fell and were drowned.

Links to other Photoblog sites that I have found inspirational:

Hugo Poon
Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.

John Leech
John Leech is an extremely talented graphic designer and photographer living and working in the beautiful and dramatic English Lake District. He has been so encouraging and influential in the development of my photography that it's difficult to know how to thank him enough.
