Erosion at Happisburgh

My last recorded visit to Happisburgh was in 2011 and I was amazed to see how much erosion had taken place in 11 years - the previous sea defences are now a tangle of iron and wooden posts. You can see from the aerial views that a whole section of the cliff, including the houses (as in 4th photo) and steps to the beach, is no longer there and the car park has been relocated. The lighthouse is unchanged though now a bit closer to the sea! These are quick monochrome conversions of the jpeg files from my Sony RX100 IR-converted camera so a bit of haloing etc

Ventnor to Bonchurch, Isle of Wight

On Saturday morning we walked along the coast from Ventnor to Bonchurch in beautiful sunshine but with very strong winds. As well as photographing the spray, I played with multiple exposure to give the impression of the overriding presence of the rough seas.

Black-Headed Gulls Miscellany

We didn't visit any bird reserves etc while we were on the Isle of Wight as Sarah didn't bring a long lens but there were plenty of Black-headed Gulls to practise on in all kinds of light and weather conditions!

Yarmouth, Isle of Wight

 The weather is set to be windy and showery all week and certainly yesterday felt that autumn has arrived. We had a walk looking out for Red squirrels but the only wildlife around was a young Kestrel hunting off a wire with no luck at all in the time we watched. Enjoyed getting out of the wind for a time in St James church

Colwell and Totland Bays, Isle of Wight

Staying on the Isle of White for a week. We are 3 mins walk from the beach and the coastal walk. Yesterday was grey and overcast when we started out walk to Totland but the sun came out later though not a great sunset. The area has had large landslides over several years so the area is full of skeleton trees and shell containing coat and rocks.
