Black and white weather

 
It's rainy and dark outside as I post this, definitely black and white weather!
A bit of a filler post today to tide things over a little ..  the first is a macro shot of a coin I picked up at a car boot sale purely because of the rather cool St George on the reverse.  As it turns out, it was minted to celebrate the Festival of Britain, the celebration of the end of austerity after World War 2.  I wonder if they'll mint a coin sometime soon to mark the end of this era of triple recession and price amplification!
 
The second is from the weekend, a gloomy, windy beach shot of a stormy sea and valiant kite surfer battling it.  I took quite a few of them floating several meters into the air, but liked this one most for it's gloomy mist and clean composition, with the rain and mist giving it that ethereal feel.
 
Might be back soon with some mini project shots, codename .. RAIN!
