High Water Springs

An unusually high tide in Arnside this afternoon, combined with a cloudy sky and bright sunshine made for some of the best conditions for photography so far this year. So I am not sure why I was able to take 62 of the most ordinary, lifeless, dull, boring and unispired photographs I have ever shot.
This one is probably the pick of the bunch, or it might be the photograph I took of the footbridge in Arnside Station, for a reason that now escapes me. But neither of them, nor any of the other 60 had any merit at all.
It's not that I think I'm so good that I should be able to take worthwhile photographs every day. On the contrary, I am often surprised by the quality that some of my photographs seem to achieve despite my lack of ability. But the conditions today were so good, and my output was so not good that I am inclined to think that I may be having a mid life crisis.
I'll be changing my Land Rover for a cabriolet and using skin care products next.
