Last week I took you to Llandudno.
This week's picture, taken on the way back, is from a coach travelling at 50-60mph down the A55; hence a slight lack of clarity. (click on the picture for a larger view)
The small town in the shelter of the Clywd hills is Holywell. Beyond is the estuary of the river Dee. It was obviously low tide. Off the end of the Wirral peninsular is Hilbre Island. On the other side is the estuary of the river Mersey stretching from Liverpool (just visible on the right) to Formby Point.
Above all of this lies sky.

Gerald: I like to take pictures of beauty from the car. The camera does have to work harder.

When I take pictures out of the car window or plane I call it counting the quiet. Lovely, Gerald!

Well done, even at 55-60 mph. It's a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteit looks like u are on top of the world
ReplyDeleteGreat capture and nice view!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful picture, despite the speed at which you were traveling.
ReplyDeleteHello from Colorado. Nice catch from the car.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent sky scape!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing you got this shot traveling so fast, great job!
ReplyDeleteGerald..this is a very lovely picture with a beautiful landscape.
ReplyDeleteLater I'll use Google Earth to visit the area.
-Cheers from Canada.
This is so picturesque, Gerald. I do enjoy your little geography lessons on the UK. I thought the granite rock last week was great but you have outdone yourself with the mud flats. Such a great view of their expanse and how they are wedged between the deeper water and the green of the land. The village looks to-die-for, especially to someone from my wide brown land.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful landscape for a great Sky Watch!
ReplyDeleteGreate Sky Watch post.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, from AnneKa in Norway
Wow this is great photo of a beautiful landscape under a beautiful sky
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful--it is one those photos I wish I had in jigsaw puzzle form.
ReplyDeleteAh, the green, green hills of home.
ReplyDeleteGlad I enlarged. The sky is wonderful, but I really like the low-tide element as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful shot. I'd like to sit there and just stare for a while.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing photo.Beautiful at the coust.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot, Gerald. I didn't notice any lack of clarity!!
ReplyDeleteI like your river town and it feels like I'm riding on a bus :) The sky accentuates the landscape's scope! Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteAh Clwyd. I lived there once for a brief time. Beautiful scenery. You captured some of it here. Great shot, even at whatever-miles-per-hour!
ReplyDeleteThe horizon draws my gaze. This is wonderful, Gerald. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi! I think the photo is beautiful. Lisa
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteAll three layers of interest is evident in your photo; land, sea and sky. Lovely view.
ReplyDeleteI just took some pictures in a moving car and they weren't half bad! Nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely photos with Sky Watch Friday and your kind comments on my blog earlier.
ReplyDeleteAs I'm the only driver in our house I never get chance to take such beautiful snaps from the car (If I did it'd probably be my last ever photo!) Perhaps I should get on a coach occasionally!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of Deeside.

I came here via DJ Kirkby, I too enjoy landscape photography along with wildlife.I once took a rainbow from the car on the way home from Warwickshire. Sadly its got lost in the passage of time, I await the moment I can do it again.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you.
Blossom
What a lovley looking area.
ReplyDeleteGreat view! I am prone to take photos out of windows myself. Sometimes they turn out a lot better than I would think.
ReplyDeleteI love the view you had.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you explained the low tide :)wasn't sure what kind of water I was seeing LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the beauty at lightening speed...well done!
good job here.. you have a great picture for the friday... that enlightens my day once again...
ReplyDeleteSee yah!!!Happy Friday...
Thank you for a beautiful SkyWatch and also for taking the time to explain where it was. Some of the names of places I recognized although I have never been there. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy SkyWatch Here
I also take a lot of photos from the car. Yours is pleasing to the eyes!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your haiku. I wondered if you would ever do that to me. I am still learning and reading wherever I can. The best way I find to improve though is to post a picture a day and try to say something that the picture does not already say. I still have a long way to go to reach this aim. I am enjoying the challenge though. Thank you so much for your comment. It is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAmazing perfectly captured landscape shot. Nice to meet you Gerald & thank you for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning.
ReplyDeleteStunning capture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, picturesque landscape!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a sky without a foreground? Looks like nice area - I may have been quite close once. But it was raining...
ReplyDeleteWe had planned to go to Cornwall this year, but had to postpone it. Maybe next year?
PS I like to go to the UK at least once a year - has been to London once and am booked for one more.
Great shot, great view!
