Rock Formations, Skokholm

Amazing rock formations; very well captured Keith.

I was very intrigued by your pictures from this Island, so looked it up. It looks amazing and quite a small island. Do you reach it by boat? I love this shot of the unusual rock formations and the low angle and look forward to more bird pictures when you are back in action with the computer.

Thanks Rosa. It's a magical place to visit - about a mile long and half a mile wide. You can only get there by boat. There are no day visitors, but you can book a stay from 3 days to a week. This time we only went for 3 days, last year we went for a week, but had to stay 11 days as it was too rough to get a boat in to pick us up! You can book a single room in the cottage but the rest of the accommodation is sharing (mainly in cowsheds converted to twin rooms). If you want to do a day trip you've have to go to the neighbouring island of Skomer - also by boat but not bookable in advance so you have to get there very early (0500ish) and take your chances. The boats leave from Martin's Haven on the South Pembrokshire coast - which is pretty remote. Here's a link if you haven't already found it: www.welshwildlife.org/skomer-skokholm/skokholm

Thank you very much for your reply and link Keith. Such an interesting place.

Beautiful capture!

Phänomenal, wie diese Felsformation aus der grünen Wiese wächst! Ich mag solche wilden Felsformationen sehr. Dieses Foto vermittelt einen guten Eindruck von dieser einsamen Insel. Ein beeindruckender Schuss, Keith!

A beautifully simple image highlighting the rock formations. They look wonderful. It sounds an island worth visiting.

Thanks Jean.............and yes, well worth a visit. I've been three times now. There's a bit more info and a link in my reply to Rosa above.

superbes roches et paysage !!

The rocks look picturesque and attractive seeming to grow out of the turf! The wide format looks good!

Great shapes! Amazing how the natural elements of wind and weather sculp the rocks.

Thank you all very much for your kind comments - always much appreciated.

It looks like an megalithic place....that´s stunning....the green grass pillows are wonderful in the foreground Keith!

Thank you Tanja...........you're very kind. Glad you like it!

Excellent low pov and a wonderful capture of this amazing landscape Keith

Cheers Roger.............you're very kind.

I like to think I know a great granite shot when I see one!
