Part of the Norfolk, England coast is covered with innumerable smooth-edged, sea-worn stones - mostly flint - that, along with fossils, have washed out of the soft headland cliffs over past eons as the sea continues to erode it up to six and a half feet per year. This view looking west-nor-west, and parallel to the shoreline, is a vast, steep beach completely covered in countless smooth rocks of all sizes from brick-to pebble-to coarse sand. To the left of the image are soft cliffs, some sloping to the beach, covered in vegetation, and others more precipitous with exposed sandy subsoil. To the right, the cold sea, hued light brown by turbulent sandy sediment, is on its return tide with white caps on the waves. The sky is light blue, but almost filling the sky it’s being mostly upstaged by dramatic bright cumuli clouds coming over the headland in the distance, chased by the bright sun on the left, soon headed toward pre-sunset.
