| | the weather looked a tad ominous ... | |
| | | An unconcerned seagull was looking for its other leg.. | |
| | | The Balmoral eased into Minehead. | |
|
| | A farm just west of Minehead... | |
| | | ...with fields that go right down to the sea. | |
| | | Selworthy Common meets the sea... | |
|
| | Spectacular in the morning light.. | |
| | | | ...on a rocky outcrop, just above Bossington. | |
|
| | Glenthorne - a house in an enviable location.. | |
| | | Foreland Point lighthouse... | |
| | | ...clinging to the cliffs near Lynmouth. | |
|
| | A waterfall where U-boats apparently gathered fresh water. | |
| | | The north Devon coastline stretching West... | |
| | | ...purple with heather on the headlands. | |
|
| | | Watching the coast go by... | |
| | | Penny hangs on to her hat (it was breezy...) | |
|
| | A gannet glides over the waves... | |
| | | ...just staying clear of the water. | |
| | | A life on the ocean wave ... | |
|
| | | Lundy residents see us arrive... | |
| | | ...and head for the water... | |
|
| | ...taking a last look before making themselves scarce. | |
| | | The Balmoral by the jetty on the island. | |
| | | The broken spine of the island. | |
|
| | A chicken taking a dust bath! | |
| | | Some of the four-legged locals. | |
| | | The heather was out on the top of the island. | |
|
| | A fresh-water pond perched on top of the rock. | |
| | | Apparently it takes two to change a lens... | |
| | | A distant view of one of the island's lighthouses. | |
|
| | A house that couldn't stand up to the elements. | |
| | | | Colour contrasts between rock and heather. | |
|
| | Some of the soay sheep living wild on Lundy. | |
| | | The spectacular rocky cliffs... | |
| | | ... made up of slabs of granite. | |
|
| | | Penny and Lizignore the yawning drop just behind them... | |
| | | A young fox-moth caterpillar (I think) | |
|
| | This stonecrop made acolourful splash on the rock. | |
| | | Sheep looking very much at home in their environment. | |
| | | Rain was heading our way (but didn't bother us at all). | |
|
| | Some of the rocks looked sculpted... | |
| | | ... and stood as pillars on the shore. | |
| | | The lighthouse provided a man-made version. | |
|
| | At least you could get a bath on the island... | |
| | | The Balmoral returned to collect us... | |
| | | ... and a fulmar flew alongside | |
|
| | ... just skimming the water. | |
| | | A gannet stood out against the coloured cliff-face. | |
| | | The coastline started to fade... | |
|
| | | ... and a last gull stopped following the boat and went on its way. | |
