The Cobb ~ Lyme Regis.

The Cobb ~ Lyme Regis.
A precarious walk along The Cobb. There were warnings that it could be slippery and dangerous. It doesn't make a bad picture though!

Beautifully composed. I like the figures. They look isolated and quite vulnerable but holding hands in unity.

Thank you Jean...but when they moved down the slope, I was quite frightened for them. Thank goodness nothing awful happened!

Nice shot Rosa, but the weather looks miserable....

PS.... This is the first photo I have commented on using Windows 10... progress is slow.

It wasn't good weather John, but always fun when out with Sophie :-)
I have been using Windows 10 for a few weeks now. It takes a bit of getting used to, and there have been a few choice words I'm afraid!!

Echo my thoughts Rosalyn, Perhaps they are not as close to the edge as the picture makes out.

The Cobb slopes towards the sea Maurice. I have only been up there once and I didn't like it, especially when having to pass people. This pair were quite close to the edge. Very foolish to ignore the danger signs.

Excellent capture but it can be a little dangerous, two weekends ago three people had to be rescued after falling from the wall,

Thank you posting your image in the group

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Yes I read about that Roger. I wouldn't go up there in the summer, let alone a wet and windy day. I was grateful to be able to take the picture, but would have been horrified had they fallen in the sea.

Not the most sensible thing to do but as you say it makes a wonderful shot Rosalyn. I wonder if I still have the DVD of The French Lieutenant's Woman !! Did you know there is a live webcam of the Cobb. Ignoring signs people have been moving road closed signs to go down flooded roads including a Tesco lorry

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
There were signs at each end of The Cobb Peter. I also have that DVD, a good film. Yes I did know there is a live webcam, as with many places now. I look at the West Bay one occasionally, as they have huge waves! I hear there is storm Ellen to cope with now!

Janet Brien club
MARVELOUS!! Great composition and timing, the little girl looks like she's dancing along as she goes, so darling. The precarious footing cannot be ignored, especially if that brick has a growth of slime on it in any capacity. I'd be awfully careful out there, but I also don't know if I could resist the allure! :)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Janet Brien club
I was pleased with the shot Janet, but worried for them. My one time on The Cobb was enough for me, and that was in summer!! It is higher and more sloped than you might think. Thank you for your great comments Janet. Have a good day.

Wonderful and dangerous at the same time …. but the seascape is simply wonderful.
All the best

Thank you very much Fabio. For me, there is nothing like The Cobb, I love it, but just to look at and not to walk along it ;-))
All the best,

Si, algo arriesgado para llevar de paseo a un niño. ¡Precaución, la curiosidad también mata! Bueno, la fotografía en sí, es buena.

Really nicely composed shot Rosa. The two figures give a good sense of the scale of the Cobb and the size of the waves. There have been too many people lost to the sea in similar circumstances in Scarborough for me not to think it is a rather foolish act on the part of the adult.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
I totally agree Doug. I had to watch until they were safely off The Cobb. You wouldn't get me up there even in good weather! Thank you for your kind comments.

Oooh the Cobb is a bit scary for me even in good weather. I must admit to being pleased when we were off it again the day we went there. The slope is more prenounced than you think. I noticed that one of the ladies in costume we photographed didn't risk it either. Makes a great shot though.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Ecobird club
Me too Carol. I have only been up there once, and that was enough for me. Yes, the slope is very pronounced. That's what I didn't like. I stayed still and everyone had to maneuver around me!!
I was very grateful for the shot though ;-)

I wondered if you'd taken another photo of the Cobb when you posted yesterdays one...........but I wasn't expecting to see people up on top, especially in view of the wind. Rather then than me!

It's a cracking shot though Rosa...........you even managed to get some definition in the sky which makes a nice change from the featureless grey ones we've been seeing lately.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It made me very nervous to see someone on The Cobb with a child Keith. The sky was quite changeable all day...wait 'till you see tomorrow's picture! You wouldn't believe it was the same day!

Thank you so much for your, always kind comments. Have a good evening.
