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.

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.

Well, two pictures really, because I’ve been lazy, and I don’t take good shots in the rain. A couple of weeks back saw some sun and a good breeze and none of us had been on the water since, I don’t know, November last year? So we corralled up Mike to ride safety boat, after checking it still worked, and off we went. It was a great day.
