Paignton Beach Huts
 (c) Kim Aldis. All Rights Reserved click on image for larger view | Beach Huts on Paignton Beach Paignton is famous for its beach huts. There are hundreds of them, white with brightly coloured doors, stretching for miles along the sea front like the technicolor teeth of a saw buried in the ground. Date: Fri 30th Apr 2010 |

A morning walk between Babbacombe and Oddicombe beaches
 (c) Kim Aldis. All Rights Reserved click on image for larger view | View to Babbacombe Beach. There's a path that runs between Oddocombe and Babbacombe beaches with a section of boardwalk built by my friend Russell from a timber so heavy that it will not float. The small group of buildings at the foot of the cliff, viewed from the boardwalk, is the recently and excelently refurbished Cary Arms Hotel, where you can eat, drink, spend the night and wake up to a fabulous views on the South Devon coast. I walk this section of coast most mornings with my dogs. That makes me a very lucky man. Date: Thu 15th Apr 2010 |

We All Go to Watcombe Beach
 (c) Kim Aldis. All Rights Reserved click on image for larger view | Alf and Madge on Watcombe Beach Today I extended the morning walk down to Watcombe Beach and let the dogs loose. Madge is the dobermann to the left and Alf, the basenji, is front and centre. I don't often let Alf off the leash; he either goes to Cornwall or picks fights with dogs three times his size and we end up with vet's bills the size of the national debt, so this was a treat. I've been trying to catch an image of this beach for years. I think it's the light; either right in your eyes or at the back of you and everything's in shadow so I was quite pleased to get this even though I can't quite make up my mind whether I like it or not. I'll have to come back to it in a month or so and see how I feel. Date: Tue 27th Apr 2010 |

Picture of the Week #8
 (c) Kim Aldis. All Rights Reserved click on image for larger view | Looking across Anstey's Cove from Walls Hill. Torbay, S. Devon This is one section of the SW coastal path I don't walk enough, mostly because I nearly always have the dogs with me and there's some steep drops further along the path at Black Head, which you can see in the distance. Parts of the cliff are falling away and at least one access path is gone but there's a good route down further along with a cafe on the beach and it's quiet if you're not one for the clouds. There was an enormous bank of cloud sat across the bay that day and I was I was aiming for that rather than the cove but I took some panorama shots anyway, just for the hell of it. The cloud bank got lost a bit but I think it's still a good shot. Date: Wed 21st Apr 2010 |

Picture of the Week #7
 (c) Kim Aldis. All Rights Reserved click on image for larger view | View over Long Quarry I've shot this view a number of times, looking over Babbacombe Bay to Long Quarry but it's always different, never the same. This one was taken in early spring in the wake of a storm, the sun punching through the clouds, God's torch, making pools of light on the surface of the sea. There's little maintenance of the are where this was taken by the authorities; weed ash and sycamore are growing fast and it won't be long before the view disappears. I'm not sure if I should be pleased that at least somewhere is still wild or angry that no-one cares about such a view. Date: Thu 25th Jan 2007 |
