The Gap on a calm day

The Gap on a calm day
This is a very new platrform I was keen to get out on But last trip as just a no go I would not leave the bus with all that salt water in the air. see below


The Gap - Read below.

But this time I was able to get out on the platform. Clara would not go past the first person on the right point as the platform moves with the people on it past that point. I had to set My ISO higher to overcome that movement. you pay to park to pay for the new platform .

look out to sea those darker skies are the rains coming in.

An excellent series of images Steve. I particularly like the first PiP, - very dramatic looking. It must be quite an experience standing out on that platform. I am with Clara though, - I would be back where I felt safe!!

HFF and have a good weekend

you are right a lot of people would not walk to the end but miss the whole view, much safer than standing on wet rocks looking in. HFF you have a great weekend.
