We just love a seat with a view, and not many can compare with something like this. Let’s take a seat overlooking this giant Perran Bay and drink in the sight of the rolling sea whilst listening to the roar of the breaking waves. The people on the beach look like ants from up here but quite different views await us down there seeing the giant incoming waves up close with adventurous surfers ‘strutting their stuff’. In the distance we see Ligger Point.
Enjoy full screen

PS before you ask – I don’t really think there was a big drop from in-front of this bench – yes the ground did fall away but only as a gentle slope with a fence before it dropped more drastically.

Have a great week.

Te scenery reminds me of the Gower Coast in South Wales. A wonderful spot, and I'm glad that you're not to near the cliff edge.
HFF, Herb, and stay safe.

Hi Amelia. Yes, I know much of the Gower coast too and so I know what you mean. It was all pretty safe really but one must not take too many chances I suppose.

HBM to you too. Enjoy the week. Herb

Hi, yes a great view half way at the start of a called of cliff top walk as it was too windy. Eileen could hardly stand in the severe dangerous gust. So we retrace our steps back to here (a mere few hundred yards) and took in the scene before exploring the massive bay and village itself.

HBM, enjoy the week too. Herb

It really is a beautiful view Herb. I think I have sat on that very seat :-)) The expanse of beach and the waves gently rolling in look wonderful.
HBM and wish you a good new week.

Great to have shared a spot with you Rosa. It was delightful. Yes a great view half way at the start of a called off cliff top walk as it was too windy.

I love the beach at Perranporth..............when my children were aged only 2 and 4 we went camping nearby for a week in the summer.........it was a fantastic time and I've never forgotten it.

The view from this bench is superb............I like the pristine sands and the wave action and water movement. Just lovely.

HBM Herb.........and thanks for the memories. Enjoy the rest of today and have a good week.

Unlike you, I missed being able to post a photo this morning and I doubt I'll be bothering today!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Hi Keith, and like with Rosa above, my pleasure to share a common spot with you guys. I was blown over with this expanse of sand and beautiful rolling waves. It was windy up here though (see my reply to Rosa).

Funny, somehow, I don't quite feel the same obligation to enter the HBM group as I do the HFF and so i seldom check on all new entries there (but I did today)

Take care and HBM anyway, enjoy the week too. Herb

I remember Perranporth as being windy nearly all the time. It didn't affect our enjoyment though.

Hi Herb
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting patterns in the sea
Fantastic colours too.
I can see by the background hills that there is no safety issue here. Very tame!
Even so, we expect people to take at least some responsibility for their actions. (or am I being to old fashioned!
Best Wishes, HBM, a good week ahead, and stay safe!!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Very happy that you enjoyed this one Peter. Oh there were some very dangerous bits of high cliff near here too but having a bench on the edge of it was not very likely :) Still pays to be careful around here, especially on this very windy day.

Keep safe and HBM, enjoy the week too. Herb

Al primer vistazo pensé que la playa era de mi pueblo, pero el banco descartó de inmediato.
Hermoso paisaje muy bien captado, con profundidad de campo hasta el horizonte.

Hi Grobi, nice to see you here again. Glad you looked at it full screen in black. I must suggest 'bombastic', I am sure it not really the adjective you wanted to use here :)

Have a good week too. Herb
