Hartland Quay ~ Devon.

Hartland Quay ~ Devon.
The cliffs at Hartland Quay in North Devon display a spectacularly folded sequence of alternating grey shales and sandstones known as the Crackington Formation that was deposited in the Carboniferous period approximately 320 million years ago.

Just back from an enjoyable family holiday on the Devon/Cornwall border. Thank you for all the kind comments on my previous picture. Much appreciated. I will catch up with your galleries very soon :-)

Zeugen der Entstehung der Erde, Rosa.

Ausgezeichnet sieht man auf Deinen Bildern wie verschiedene Felsformationen aufeinandertreffen. Die Tage mit Deiner Familie an diesem Ort waren sicher ein tolles Erlebnis.

Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Morgen

This corresponds greatly with that work of Mr. Rodker: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/51044634.
Good you caught a fellow photographer to show the size of that rocks - and, too, to find a tiny dot of colour.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Leon_Vienna club
Ah yes, I saw Andy's picture. Along the same coastline, but in Cornwall.
I was pleased to get the photographer in the shot for the reasons you mention :-)

A very dramatic shot Rosa...............I love the colours and textures in the rock formations and the detail is outstanding. Good to see the photographer in shot for scale.

The image in the PiP is a cracker too...............it looks windy and a bit rough there, which is typical of the Hartland Peninsular.

Glad you had a good holiday with our family............and welcome back. If my memory serves me right there's quite a nice pub/hotel at Hartland Point. I was there back in 2011 taking photos with some friends. We camped out for the weekend and it never stopped raining once!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you Keith. My first visit to Hartland and I loved it! I also had lens envy when I saw the photographer!

It was very windy and I could hardy hold the camera steady. Yes there is a nice pub there but we had already stopped in Hartland village a few miles away and had an excellent brunch :-))

All the best, Doug
