Just 1 Week Apart, The Weather In Freshwater Bay.

[Rustynailer]

Belive me if I would have gone to take the pictures where I snapped the boats the just a couple of days later it would have been curtains for me.

Cheers cookie, friends and I have been joking that we may not see boats like that in Freshwater bay for some time

Russ.

Sorry about the dirty sensor, it goes with the job, sawdust and all that.

hi Louby,

I live in the West, to be precise the extreme South Western end. I moved here because it is quiet and there are good views to point the camera at, o yes and the air is usually cleaner.

Thanks for the comments everybody, I like rough seas too.

Kind regards,

Russ

Certainly looks a lovely part of the country, very dramatic coast line.

Those cliffs really do look high, and thats some menacing weather!

I took my camera to work yesterday and managed 131 shots mostly on the way there and back.

From East to West (middle rd) and back again along the southern coast road(military rd).

I hope this is useful for those like me who like an understanding of how the land lyes.

I recommend that one has google earth on to help with perspective.

Looking NE through Newport to Portsmouth Docks and tower.

Eastern end, Culver Down looking at Portsmouth.

South, Blackgang looking at Freshwater.

Blackgang, looking at Portland Bill and the rest of that part of Dorset.

Blackgang looking at the Needles(the angle gives only 2 needles!)

Blackgang to Freshwater Bay and home about half an hours drive from where the picture was taken to just behind the white cliffs of Tennyson and Afton Downs in the background.

Kind regards,

Russ
