Postcard from Lytham

Brooding skies, almost empty beach, imminent downpours....yes, it's the British seaside Bank Holiday! Janet and I were visiting our photographer friends Jo and Martyn last Monday. Having aborted our planned beach barbecue (I wonder why?) we did manage a mid-afternoon walk down the sea front before the heavens opened. Still, it made for an interesting shot across the sands, captured on my Canon G9 compact.
