Down at the Gauldrons

wonderful! image Herb

thanks Annemarie. Glad you liked it.

I'd love a closer view to identify the flowers...if you don't mind, and the photo is outstanding.

thanks for enjoying this Isabel. Looking at it full resolution at 6000x4000 the flower heads seem no sharper. Maybe a better lens required :) Not much point posting a new photo to demonstrate the fact.
ps Keith below gives us the answer.

Keep good. Herb

Must be viewed large Herb. The wild flowers are beautiful and the lichen covered rocks.
Two superb shots. Cheers, Rosa.

Glad you liked it all Rosa. I t was a fine place and the lichen + flowers gave it some extra colour.

Cheers. Herb

Stunning rocky outcrops covered by lichen and surrounded by beautiful tufts of flowers
Amazind, Herb!

Another to please you Judite. That makes me happy.

Cheers. Herb

Lovely photo is not my word.
Great and old are more my idea of it.
No ofense given, none taken.

You are right ' 'lovely' is perhaps the wrong description Jose. No offence taken :)

Regards. Herb

This is just fantastic Herb................I've already mentioned the lush green background and cliffs (on your other image), but the rugged looking rocks in the sea are look quite dangerous.

I especially like the rocks in the immediate foreground..............I love the way their look has been "softened" by the colourful lichen and the beautiful wildflowers.......which, by the way I think are probably Thrift.

An absolutely beautiful place and image. Well done sir!

Information from the National Trust website: "Thrift is an easily recognised wildflower. Its leaves form dense short, compact clumps which send out lots of flower stems up to a foot high topped by compact bright pink flower heads. Sometimes called the 'Sea Pink' or 'Cliff Rose'. Look for it in particularly rocky coastal places (sometimes in stone walls and hedge banks) and in short grass pasture."

Hi Keith, I might have guessed that yo would now what these plants were. After reading this I remembered my wife recognising them on seeing them.. Great that you enjoyed the walk with me.

Best Wishes. Herb

Armeria maritima then, also present in Portugal.
Obrigada Keith and Herb

By sheer coincidence I had taken some photos of the same plants at Hayling Island a couple of days before you posted this one!

Beautiful landscape and shot.
