Slowly working my way through a number of shots - and taking more - that will be part of something bigger. I've shot them all as 3 exposures, converted through Photomatix and trying to mute colours back to give a painterly feel.

Dolphin ashore at Cleveleys

If a 120 metre ferry washing up on your coast wasn't quite enough, yesterday a smaller yet still highly unusual animal decided the coast at Cleveleys was the place to be stranded.
A small dolphin got itself beached on the sand and had to be rescued by coastguard and RSPCA. I didn't get to see the full outcome, but was assured the professionals were taking the dolphin, who was distressed and possibly poorly, to facilities to care for it.
