Nice angle.

Have you seen the cliffs to the east of Sidmouth, Gary? I counted eight rock-falls following the autumn rain, a couple of them enormous.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Yes, it's opened up a whole new world since I got it. Considering the extremity at which it operates, it turns in some cracking images.

I've got more photos from along this beach past this sign and there were several landslides into the sea, some of which were pretty big. I got a bit nervous walking back as a lump of rock fell of the cliff about 10 feet in front of me. I was walking along the water's edge at the time, as far from the cliffs as I could get, but it did make me think.

Another great one in your series Gary. I like the perspective the lens gives on this shot.

Really like this shot, all those textures and colours. Magic.

Tell me, How did you get the vapour trail done to order? Lining up with the cliff like that!
