A wave breaks over the lower rocks of Pedn Men Du

A wave breaks over the lower rocks of Pedn Men Du
Pedn Men Du is at the Western end of Sennen Cove, Cornwall. It protects Sennen Cove from the full force of mountainous seas that occur in the biggest storms.
Sennen Cove's breakwater is just behind where I took this shot from

See link below for more details and a dramatic photo

So you have been on holiday? I thought as much.
Dramatic coastal scenery, Nick, and wild weather.

Hi dear LGM ~ Yes we took a week's holiday down in Sennen Cove as usual. We missed the tail end of a big storm which was a pity. There were still some big waves rolling in though. My dream is to be there when there is a monster storm when the waves throw water hundreds of feet in the air x

Just looking at this, I can hear the waves crashing upon the rocks! A sound I love!
I hope your dream comes true....rather you than me though ;-))

Yes Rosa the noise is great ~ We have a picture on our kitchen wall of a wave breaking very high indeed, the water reaches right up to the little castle at the top of the rocky hill ~ one day .....

I'm a sucker for a high seas shot. I know this spot but I've not been there in this sort of weather.
Great capture Nick, hope you catch that big one!

We have spent a week in early October for several years in Sennen Cove but always missed a really big storm ~~~ it would be frightening but spectacular

A splendid vision of the power of the seas Nick. Sennen Cove is one of our all-time favourite places but we never saw it like this.

Take Care, Herb

Hey Dear Nick, disappointed that the comment I made earlier today, just after Amelia, DID NOT SEND.:(( I asked "Where in the world have you been"...but now see with other comments/replies , the answer to my question, the photo is awesome, I know it must have been thrilling to be here and hear the roar of the sea here, as it crashes on the hillside. I know you must have had a great week away. enjoy your weekend. hugs, Sarah

Nick Weall club has replied to Sarah O' club
Hi dear Sarah, it might have had something to do with me I'm afraid, as the description I now have under the photo originally appeared just under Amelia's comment, so I cut and pasted it into the right position and then deleted in from the thread. There was no sign of your comment at that stage, but possibly your posting might have arrived at exactly the wrong moment. So many thanks for trying again ~ and yes thank you the week was most enjoyable. Hugs ~ Nick

Hi Peter, the waves had a lot of power, but in the scale of waves at Sennen not especially large at all, the wind was no more than force six ~ All the best ~ Nick
