In stark contrast to this, on a calm day when the tide is out, the stunning paving that appears creates a scene of breathtaking beauty. The inspiration for this painting came on such a calm day, and as I walked along the shore it was late evening with darkness approaching and patches of the fading light on the rocks were casting intriguing shadows on the surface of the limestone paving. &method=button "Share with Pinterest"){kind=small}
