The next phoot looks south alon Seacliffe beach. The sand is now curving on the right of the photo, and the grey sea rolls in from the left.

The last photo is very similar to the first, looking up the beach towards Tantallon Castle, high on the cliffs. This photo has zoomed in a little, so the only sand visible is very wet sand beneath the breaking waves, immediately in front of the camera, and this sand is reflecting the grey sky. Right in the centre of the photo is a small puppy, running towards the camera, proudly holding a bright red ball in his mouth.
