Beach and shingle banks from Merrikin's Pullover to Saltfleet Haven (aerial 2016) Interesting weather - brilliant evening sunshine but a weather war was brewing, with an unmoving band of cloud running down the area, west of the camera. Beyond that, on the Wolds: more sunshine. Yet trouble is afoot, or rather aloft, for an hour after this shot a hail storm broke, followed by an series of rainbows.
