HBM A shelter from the weather

Amelia has posted:

There are bench seats oin all four sides of this building, so you can shelter from the prevailing wind or the sun, and the rain on every side. It started to rain abour 15 minutes later, but by then this shelter was no longer easily availbale for us, so we just walked quickly back to the car.

Glorious Devon

Walking down to Hartland Quay was an absolute joy. Even the walk back up the hill to the car park seemed effortless because of glorious views like this. The best day of our Devon holiday.

Geological upheavals were very evident in the cliffs here,

Contentment

A very happy bench Monday to all of you. Please don't mention the fact that something is coming between this couple. ;-)))))

HFF.

Actually this is a GROYNE. A groyne is an active structure extending from the shore into the sea, most often perpendicular or slightly oblique to the shoreline. The main function of a groyne is catching and trapping part of the sediment moving in a longshore direction in the surf zone. This groyne is catching flint pebbles and quite large pieces of flint in chalk. Some of the wood lower down is heavily weathered, and the construction bolts are very rusty.

Facing the sea means facing north. Here one can look at a scrubby putting green,in the sunshine sheltered for the cold north winds. But where is everyone?

The sea wall was being battered almost ceaselessly by waves, and believe it or not, some idiots were standing right down on the area which was getting soaked. I took this photo while standing on the pier, well away from danger

Horsey Gap Beach

Adrian, Liz and James walking on an almost deserted beach on the Norfolk Coast. There were quite a few mature seals frolicking in the sea, but the PiP shows a young seal having a rest.

Machrihanish beach

Amelia has posted:

The main sandy beach runs 3.5 miles from Westport to Machrihanish and provides opportunities for surfing. There was a strong offshore wind that day, and the group of surfers from Glasgow University didn't seem keen to give surfing a go. Also the tide was still going out when we were there, so maybe they were waiting.

My childhood playground

Amelia has posted:

For me this beach was endless, the sun always shone, the sea was never too cold to bathe in and there were no caravans parked on the Kinkell Braes. We lived within easy walking distance of the East Sands, and there was rarely a day that I wasn't here, pottering about, collecting shells to paint, or peering into the rock-pools looking at the anemones, small crabs, molluscs and shrimps.

Was I wearing rose tinted glasses? Maybe, but I did have a wonderful childhood.

Very handy for going for a quick dook at dinner time, if one attended the Fisher School.
The mist almost obscures the Kinkell Braes caravan site.

St.Andrews harbour

I well remember the smells of the lobster creels, and the tarred rope, the oily fuels and the tang of the seaweed, and of course the smell of the gasworks just along form here. My childhood.

St.Andrews Skyline

Amelia has posted:

On the skyline can be seen the iconic St.Rule's Tower, the square one, which is100ft or 33m high. The climb to the top of St Rule's Tower involves a very tight metal spiral staircase, which leads up to a set of intramural stairs, which themselves lead up to one of the narrower stone spiral staircases you will find in Scotland. Passing people descending while you are ascending this spiral staircase can be interesting and it pays to listen out for anyone already on the stair coming towards you before you commence either your climb or descent. The total climb to the top of the tower involves 156 steps. One has to pay for the privilege these days, but in the 1940s and early 50s it was free, and I have been to the top many times when we lived in St.Andrews. The views from the top are worth every step of the climb, and more.

The twin towers belong to the ruins of St.Andrews Cathedral. A most impressive ruin.

Since the coronavirus situation has escalated, so preventing us from taking our usual holiday in Scotland this year, I have decided to look back to photos taken in Scotland in past years, and post some of those which have not been seen either on Panoramio or Ipernity.
