Wonderful marine here With the boats and low tide. Best wishes, Anton.

wonderful image and place

Happy serene Sunday!

Now that brings back a few memories of some good times in my distant youth ...

We had several short breaks there, courtesy of my mother's sister & husband. Accommodation would now, probably, be described as a "second home" but the cottage was actually used as a retreat by various members of the village community where my aunt & uncle lived. Even then, we made a point of using local facilities as much as possible.

Thanks for this. It must have been nice to be there for some time, seeing all the different moods that this area has to offer, in different seasons too. We stayed near the village of Porlock itself and that presented a great variance of photo scenery and walks. A fine area indeed.

Best Wishes. Herb

Admirable capture plongeante joliment partagée.
Bon dimanche.

Very nice capture of a coastal scene just a few short miles down the road from my home Herb,
I can vouch for the weather ;-)
Have a great Sunday !

A great place to live no doubt at all Roger and much warmer climate than our home in Lancashire. I was sorry to see that it shared our wetness though! Glad you enjoyed it. (I see you have your own PW photos too.)

Have a great Sunday, as well. Herb

Thanks again Herb, we only visit in winter as the place get far too busy in summer!

Lovelu harbour scene Herb.

Die haben die Kaimauer zu hoch gebaut. ,-)

Jens, this area has the third highest tides in the world! So not too high at all.

Regards. Herb

Ich wohne unweit von Nord- und Ostsee, ich kenne 4m und 4cm, je nachdem wohin wir fahren. ;-)

This is quite different Jens: The Bristol channel and the Exmoor coast has the highest and lowest tides in Europe.

"Porlock Weir: Saturday (30th Sept) is low 0.51m (14:07) and high tide of 12.03m at 20:23. "

Keep good Jens. Herbert

Yes damp covers most recent days. So much so that I have bought a new coat and next some waterproof shoes. It is still worth going places like this while it’s possible. Many of your recent photos are by the sea and I am enjoying them but also longing for a sight of the sea myself.

You are so right re the weather, after that long spell of hot dry weather earlier in the year. Yes, we have visited a lot of shorelines over the last few months but that will finish now. My pleasure to bring a land-lubber these sea shots though. I know the feeling of longing to see the sea after even a short lapse of time.

Take care. Herb

Super Image Herb looked it up on GE looks a beautiful place to visit I have never been to this area.A nice pub opposite the car park for a drink. ps on a sunny day.
Have a good week.
Gordon

Thanks Gordon. I must admit that I was rather pleased with the outcome of this shot. My others from here look a bit glum! -Yes a GE (or Bing Maps) view of the area by foot tells all the secrets. In a way, its a pity as it leaves nothing left to surprise you. - We wanted to, but never did drop into the local pubs or cafe's in the village, as I had left my wallet in the cottage, thinking that we would not make it all the way here via our very wet forest walk. (a lesson for me perhaps!)

Cheers. Herb

Despite the weather, this is still a lovely shot Herb. I like the picturesque cottages and the boats in the foreground. Nicely composed and taken.

Glad you liked it Keith. It was a nice place for sure despite the inclement weather.

Best Wishes. Herb

das warten aufs Wasser........schönen Wochenstart...

Du hast rechts Andreas. Vielen dank.

Tchüß. Herbert

You have captured it beautifully Herb. A shame about the weather! It was worse there than here in South Somerset. Cheers, Rosa.

I am glad you managed to see this, familiar to you view. I rather think we were unlucky on this day as it all went much brighter the day after for our ride out to Lynmouth and Lynton. (It did go very wet after that again though!) ~ A fine little village that we regretted not sampling the local fayre.

Cheers. Herb

unfortunatey we can not choose the weather for our holidays ! I like this little harbour!
