In the strongest seas, waves can break over the top, making for spectacular seascapes.” WILD DELIGHT By: Dorothy Pell Where: Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-Sea, North Yorkshire “This wildflower meadow was created by volunteers, turning a piece of waste ground into something beautiful that the community can enjoy.”
STRIKING PYLONS By: Joanne Cattle Where: Near Harewood Forest, Hampshire “I love the way that the electricity pylons draw your eye into the photo, as well as the beautiful colours created by the setting sun.” BEAMS FROM HEAVEN By: Yaz Stevens Where: Mersea Island, Essex “Just as I rounded the bend to cross the Strood, the tidal road onto the island, I saw this. I had to stop my car instantly and jump out to take the photograph before the amazing sunburst vanished.” DEMOISELLE DAMSELFLIES By: Julia Benson Where: Exmoor National Park, Somerset “While out walking, I managed to capture this shot of the European damselfly Calopteryx virgo, commonly known as beautiful demoiselle, during mating .”
