A Coastal Viewpoint

With a visit to a National Trust property,

lead to a wonderful view of  some of Devon's county coastline!

Coleton Fishache,

house & gardens,

 the walk down the steep incline

led to advantageous views of the coast.

Following a walk along part of the coastal path,

it transpired into some wonderful views,

 just wish there had been longer to view some more,

another time perhaps.

Coastal Landscape @ Kilve

Wonderful to just watch the energy of the sea

With a stroll along the beach,

with such an impressive natural rock formation

At times, watching your footing,

with the masses of seaweed,

& slippery rocks

@ Kilve, Somerset.

Coastal Walk

Wonderful weather for the walk at Kilve.

A brilliant location for natural rock formation & if you're lucky,

to find a fossil, like the one I found well imbedded into the rock.

A place that attracts many to photograph this part of the coastline.

Part of the walk was along the coastal path, high above the beach.

A place certainly not without danger, as in one place,

it was evident that part of the path had eroded away.

But, the height certainly gave way to a

 magnificant viewof the rock formations below

Very tranquil & relaxing....much needed.

Hallloween

Resting places of a Grave Yard looking out to sea,

views taken on recent coastal walks of the North Devon coast.

Remote & distance enough from the village of Morte,

I'm sure it will be spooky enough on a dark Halloween night....

The huge gates to Morte Point,

 & the village church,

 also reflects sinister images.

Mencing rock formations add to the aptmosphere of  a dark spooky night.

Happy Halloween

Lets hope there isn't too many creepy, scary moments for the vulnerable & elderly,

 with children or teenagers at their doors in the darkness of night!

Recent Travels

Home once again,

 following recent travels to The Netherlands,

 which is where I had lived many years ago. 

  My visit was long over due,

particularly as I remain to have good friends there.

After flying into Sciphol Airport, Amsterdam,

we made our way to Rotterdam for an overnight stay.

The following day,

a further journey to the province of Zeeland.

This involved catching  trains & coach,

& finally a short ferry ride from Vlissingen to Breskens.

Whilst on the ferry,

we spied one of the many Windmills we were to see on this holiday.

After disembarking from the ferry, my very good friend,

whom I've now known for over 22 years kindly greeted us,

taking us to her home in Sluis,

via the coastal route,

allowing us to view the beaches,

which we had just seen from the ferry.

 Although the sea air was quite bracing,

we were grateful to beable to stop to take in the vast expanse of sandy beaches,

 as far as the eye could see,

& even a lighthouse to enhance the scene.

A very good start to the holiday!

 Much more to follow. . . . .
