These pictures were taken at sunset on a beach in West Sussex. Every so often I come across light which is, for want of a better word, odd. But odd in a good way. On this evening the light gave everything around an painterly look.

When I was younger, I lived in Bradford in West Yorkshire. The city is home of the Cartwright Hall art gallery known for its collection of of work by L.S. Lowry - he of the match stick men. I’d never been a great fan of his work however, when seen in a northern city with many of its satanic mill buildings still intact, it made more sense. The figures in my photographs below reminded me of Lowry, hence the title of my collection.
