A break from the Germany Architechture images (of which there are quite a few)
This was the first 'named' storm of the season 'Storm Agnes' we decided to head up to Whitehaven to see what we could capture...
About an hour before sunset, the weather had suggested very strong winds and rain and with that the possibility of some big waves over the harbour walls here.
As it transpired the waves just did not materialise at all but the sky was absolutely epic with thick black cloud rolling through the area just in front of what appreared to be blue skies and wispy sirrus clouds behind it, I'd never experienced a sky quite like that before.
The rain was quite relentless but the forecast suggested a break in it right around sunset so I just set up and covered the camera over to wait for a clear opportunity, thankfully we managed several shots while we were getting a good soaking.
I decided to keep this one really simple to show off the sky and the contrasting lighthouse below, if you can imagine the clouds moving extremely fast left to right here, changing every second it will give you an idea of the scene we were witnessing. You can see the clouds depositing heavy rain on the sea to the rear.

From a wonderful hike last Sunday in the Burrator area. We included two fantastic Bronze Age stone circles in our route. The one in the photo here must be one of the finest on Dartmoor! A large stone circle with a roughly 350 metre long straight stone row leading into the moorland beyond. The people creating this ritualistic site in the Bronze Age even accentuated the drama by increasing the standing stones of the row towards the circle, with the largest granite slab being about 3 metres tall. A fascinating site, glad the sun peeked out for us as well!
