On the shoreward side of the village Ellenabeich, is what at first looks like an atoll, a large very roughly circular line of rock apparently enclosing an arm of the sea. This can look like a harbour from a distance. Actually, it is all that remains of the slate quarry that led to Ellenabeich's growth. This was started by the Campbells of Breadalbane in 1745, And by 1842 new steam powered pumps meant that quarrying could take place to a depth of 250ft (72 m) below sea level, in a vast pit separated from the sea by just a narrow wall of rock. A storm in 1881 breached the wall around Ellenabeich's quarry, and it was inundated by the sea. Fortunately, no one was in it at the time. As the slate here was nearing exhaustion in any case, this spelled the end of slate quarrying in Elleneabeich and the several hundred jobs it provided, (wikipedia) Notes 1 The Quarry .........................Pip 1, Quarry Wall Note 2 First Breech..........................Pip 2, The Quarry. Another image shot in 16.9 therefore a large view would be appreciated.

A large slate Sea Wall at Ellenabeich on the Isle of Seil, which is one of the Slate islands and whose products in times past roofed the world, Fairy Foxgloves grow in the shade and in on top of the wall in full sun, for details a large view is recommended,,,,, HWW!

An image across Bridgwater Bay as the Sun hides behind a large dark cloud, The backdrop is formed by the Quantock Hills,,,,,, Large may be good!

Bridgwater Bay on the South Esplanade at Burnham on Sea, which was a small fishing community that was turned in a seaside resort by the Victorians, Better suited to mono in my opinion, also two notes showing the twin Lighthouse positions HBM and a large view perhaps

Calmac Ferry “Loch Strivan" waits for its turn to cross the harbour for the Oban ferry terminal before the afternoon run to the Isle of Lismore, St. Columba’s Cathedral is just behind the ferry, Image shot in 16.9 format, so a large view would be appreciated, HFF and a nice weekend!

Bridgwater Bay and a gap in the Sea Wall allows access to the beach at Burnham on Sea. This wall was built in1988 as replacement to the previous storm damaged structure, The bay has the second-highest tidal range in the world, up to 36 feet (ca. 11 metres) and at very low tide the sea can recede 1.5 miles (2.41 km) , The curved waterway left of image is the mouth of the River Parrett. The lower lighthouse, in the distance, was built in 1832 and is a grade 2 listed structure, HWW and a large view please!

Campbeltown Harbour as man and dog set off to check the pots. (and a pair of legs appeared) HBM and a good week! Large view for detail, please,
