The two records have now been merged.
By the sea you sometimes get these massive skies that seem more solid than the water beneath. I think the tiny figure is a self-portrait. My brother once took a photo of my father by the sea resting on a shooting stick (no-one seems to have those nowadays) and his feet were planted in just that attitude. See photo below.
