Man Dog and Burnham Lighthouse

This is a high resolution photograph of Burnham Lighthouse located on the sands at Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. The shot was taken using a PhaseOne digital back and is a sandwich and stitch of two shots to form this panoramic photograph. The weather was eerie and there was a lone guy walking his dog on Burnham sands almost oblivious of the storm behind him. Five minutes later I got completely soaked!

Burnham Lighthouse was built in 1832 and stands high supported on timber legs because of the large tidal rise and fall in the Bristol Channel.
