Bamburgh Castle, Storm Light

Heavy weather over the castle, with magenta light bleeding through a break in the purple-grey cloud. Shallow water sheets across the sand at low tide, holding a fragment of the castle's reflection while its walls catch the faintest warm glow. The moodiest print in the Bamburgh set.

Bamburgh Castle is one of the great sights of the Northumberland coast, a Norman fortress standing on a basalt crag above miles of open sand and the North Sea. A stronghold since Anglo-Saxon times and rebuilt over nine centuries, it was restored by the industrialist Lord Armstrong and remains lived in today. Few buildings in England sit in a more photogenic landscape.
