On the Beach

On the Beach
Just managed to squeeze a bench or two into this image from the beach at Porlock Weir, Somerset.

Note the tall Chimneys, which are built tall in an attempt to cure downdraught caused by winds off of the sea and the higher ground in the backdrop!

HBM and a good week to all!

HBM Roger. Le tirage des cheminées soumis aux aléas de la configuration du terrain environnant et des vents, pas toujours favorables est toujours un souci. La hauteur de la cheminée est une des solutions.

I really like the look of these beautiful cottages, with their unusually tall (but practical) chimneys. The light is really lovely and the detail you've captured in the stonework and thatches is superb. I love the trees in the background too......such an attractive range of green tones.
