This is my favourite image from an extraordinary sunset at Snettisham Beach. It is one of the only places on the east coast of England where you can see the sun set over the sea. The shape of The Wash seems to enhance the focused quality of the light, and the contrast of blues and reds. Once the sun had slid below the horizon, the fire really lit up. I still had many miles to walk afterwards: I should have been tired, but having witnessed such spine-tingling beauty, my body felt weightless.
