This is a view looking  from the white metal staircase, that runs down from Peddars Way and Norfolk Coastal Path, to the Promenade walkway. It was raining and deserted. I liked the configuration of the railings, and their reflection in the wet tarmac. The woman and her dog were walking on the beach, so I’ve moved her to the path. I put her deliberately where the picture leads to that focal point. I used a filter (Liquify) to create that wavy look, as if using one’s fingertip to drag the surface as if it was viscous. I experimented quite a few times to come to that satisfactory conclusion. I also used a filter to give the image a gritty grim weather look. Whether this picture is ‘Urban’….I don’t know.
