Chemical Beach

-



Chemical Beach in Seaburn just inside Co Durham.

 Colliery works, Oyster catchers, gulls 

 The wind was so strong (onshore), the carpark was so busy with walkers and brides and dogs. 

 Blast beach felt too busy, we could see a lush team of litter pickers and  although I am keen to come back to print there, especially in the reed beds, today wasn't the day.

 I worked through some vertigo ( always to the amusement of the print crew) to take a look at Chemical beach from the cliff edge. We decided to take a risk , no one seemed to go down to the beach. It was completely empty.

 There is a neat wee path down to the beach, it was so windy, but the sun was beautiful and it felt secluded enough to go for a print. I confess once I get started on the print I am always pretty comfortable doing it , but I was anxious/ stressed on the cliff top, a mixture of time pressures and body pressures.

To get to the Quarry you have to drive to Stanhope then up and out the back onto the moor and across to Barnard Castle. The moor tops are masked in heavy fog and I drive at a crawl avoiding the cloudy sheep that wander out to great me a slightly exhausting game of chance. Ive been back and forward to this old quarry site for years.  Its the image on my website.  http://www.productofboy.net/ Sheltered in the car it feels silent and film like. Out of the car, the wind is biting and the fog is more like the finest cold rain that seeps in through my jacket. I have the Dog... I don't usually bring her as she can be noisy but we both need the walk , so she is coming.  Spoil mountains, a small pond with waders, heron, The water cascaded down the edges of rock face. I can hear gun shots in the distance.  The Guns are out. Its another planet to the day we made the print, so hot and bright.  Still / wind / Still / carry on / still water / still / be / be still Be sti
