As seems to have been the pattern for most of the week, the thick cloud only began clearing an hour before sunset, almost to the point that I wished there was a little more in the sky. Another photographer was already at the same location when I arrived so I was mindful not to encroach on his shots and also not to go for the same scenes. The sea had calmed by this time to a flat mirror-like surface but rushed in extremely fast over the flat sand. I picked a boat still on dry land so as not to disturb the other person there and waited for the tide to rise around it. Unfortunately as it did, my camera's remote release decided to go swimming and drowned in my hands. A little frustrated I packed up early and headed off, slightly regretful as the colour of the sky and its reflections appeared to improve immensely as I walked back up the beach.
