My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world in the hope they’ll encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness.

Last month, I concentrated on my local area, specifically the Forest of Dean. So, those of you who love the seas or oceans may have felt a little left out. I’ll try to compensate for that this month, still sticking to the UK, so you’ll find pictures from England and Wales (it’s decades since I visited the truly stunning landscapes of Scotland, and I’ve no digital images from my last trip, which was to the beautiful Isle of Skye way back in the 1970s).

Today’s photo shows sunshine casting an autumn cloud’s shadow over the flat sandy beach of Rossili in south Wales. We spent a pleasant week here a couple of years ago. Our room in the local hotel overlooked the bay, so we saw it under all the different weather conditions we experienced that week. Mostly, the beach was quiet, but we saw a group of four surfers on one occasion, and on another, a film crew shooting a scene for a TV programme called ‘The Luminaries’. There were, of course, the usual dog walkers, both visitors and locals.

The bay is wide and the sea relatively shallow for some distance from the shore. But what will happen as sea levels rise is unknown, though Rhossili Down, a steep hill overlooking the sands and rising to 193 metres (633 feet), should remain pretty safe! The wider coast gives some lovely walks and you’ll find an illustrated post about that here.
