South West Coast

Believe it or not, we had a little sun last week (well less sun that one would hope for and it felt cold nonetheless). To remind you, last week we visited The Helicopter Museum in Weston-super-Mare, about which I posted last week, and since we had travelled that far from London we simply had to go further, to the coast. And that was when I captured this patch of sun on the coast.

Excitingly, we found ourselves walking on the 'bottom' of the sea, on ripples imprinted in the sand. I just loved the texture.

With the sun trying to get through, the atmosphere that was created by its rays felt rather medical...

Shining on this peninsula, we had to explore more...

When walking gradually up, we went past this geological creation. Suddenly,  I remembered learning about setting layers that were hardening to create cliff formations like this. Of course this took millions of years but the visuals are incredible, stunning.

It was getting late in the afternoon and since we were strangers there, it felt as if we were being watched - spookily by a black crow...

To add to this feeling, we discovered a church on top that looked abandoned at first. One could not be blamed for thinking that it was a ruin of a castle...

With the sun breaking through the cloudy sky, the strange spooky feeling was complete...

...until the moment when one looked in different directions and saw some civilisation...

Looking towards the coast line, red roofs and small boats were beautifully on display...

...and when one turned around a charming village appeared in a pocket among hilly nature.


With this post I am completing our Weston-super-Mare delightful visit. As proved, every place has its charms. Of course you cannot beat the coast, no matter what the weather. For us, the day was more overcast but it did not matter. As long as one wraps up, every visit is worths it.

Have a wonderful Sunday, that looks promising at least here in London, and see you next time... K-)
