Crossing stripes

I took this one a few weeks ago at West Wittering.

I think we need to ration these sunny photos so that we evenly counteract this period of wintry weather.

Crossing stripes.

Breakaway

We got up reasonably early today (for a Bank holiday Monday) and headed down to West Wittering with Chloe, in her stylish Fiat Cinquecento.
West Wittering is one of the few, finely-grained, sandy beaches on the south coast of England that I'm aware of. The coast there is slightly reminiscent of the Normandy / Pas de Calais beaches. They're long and quite deep/wide, especially during low tide.

After spending around 30min acting as a solar panel, I went for a walk by myself to find out what was there.
Although West Wittering attracts a lot of visitors on a day like this, there are still lots of things to look at, away from people.

The sun was a bit too high at times but it also created some high contrast, which made for a good black and white conversion.
Here is used the X100s with a Hoya protective filter.
I don't normally like to use filters on my lenses, but since I'm not using the Fuji hood, I feel that I should protect the lens until I can find a suitable and improved workaround.
