White Cliffs of Ault

Image
Further west along the coast from the Somme estuary lies the seaside town of Ault. The beach here has fantastic white cliffs and a wave cut platform of chalk. While we were in the car park I saw this man in the garage of his mobile home. I particularly liked the slippers. Moving on down towards Dieppe we came into the town of Le Treport as the afternoon was getting on and the wind was up. The light was beautiful and the gulls were wheeling in the wind. Inland the windmills had been stopped, presumably to stop them flying away! The next morning things had quietened down, but the light was still wonderful, a source of inspiration to the Impressionists.
