Thank you all!

Make it 2 million quid and I will give it consideration !!!

Dramatic image. Just saw a programme about present day coastal erosion speeding up - twice the speed it was twenty years ago. The Old Course at St Andrews is under threat.

Yes !
Great place, good picture !

Beautiful scene Andy.

Oh my goodness! I wouldn't have seen the boats if you had not said! Superb shot Andy.

Belle vue !

wonderful photo

Happy week:)

What a beautiful image, Andy! The rock in the foreground looks like a giant tooth! Very spectacular!

Very impressive and gorgeous view, Andy *************

Wow ! Fabulous shot, Andy ! Wish you a very nice week ahead !

Amazing form of Rock with sharp Seebackground

Best greetings,.. Ron

Spectacular shot, Andy. I'd guess it's pronounced "Rafe" over there?

Definitely NOT 'Rafe' in Cornwall!!!! You would be laughed out of the Duchy for up-country pretentiousness!
In fact 'Rafe' is used hardly anywhere. I have only heard in reference to a famous composer who lived mainly in the first half of the 20th century and an explorer from a posh background who is seen on TV from time to time. And that's it! It is considered archaic these days!

Heh. Good to know. Many moons ago I was involved with an amateur production of Gilbert & Sullivan's "HMS Pinafore," and recall it being repeatedly emphasized that the male protagonist's name was pronounced "Rafe"!

Me too - but in the orchestra (school production). Rafe would have been the preferred Victorian era pronunciation for aspiring and upper classes.

A beautiful shot Andy..............again, I'm amazed at how lovely the sea is. That rock is quite impressive too..........the shape reminds me of the fins of a blue whale (usually spotted when they slap the surface of the sea),

I am always amazed too, Keith.
I must say that I walked here a lot in the years 2008-2010, got fit and got to grips with the essence of this coast. All without a camera.
I only started taking photos later, on my infrequent holiday returns and I am now running out of photos! Help!!

I know what you mean Andy............I travelled around the world when I was in the RN, but I wasn't into photography then, so have very little in the way of photos to show for it. I only took up photography much later - and far to late to do it all again..!!

Brilliant blue sea Andy!

Not for a million quid, I'd rather just view it from afar:-)

Who is Ralph........Where is Ralph >?

A famous giant. He tricked ships with false lights into his lair (here), in order to steal their stuff and eat their bodies. A charming chappie, in other words!

Ein sehr schöner Blick -

Thank you, Elbertinum!
