Budleigh Salterton Beach (+PiPs)

Well composed coastal scene Keith.

Thank you Jaap.

A fine seascape scene here Keith. The two PiPs add to demonstrate the area. I am pretty sure we have explored the River Otter at some time too. Well done.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Thank you Herb..........I'm pleased you like this little collection.

A charming beach scene in beautiful, traditional Budleigh Salterton Keith. The trees by the estuary gives the location away immediately to me. Best viewed large where we see the cross at the top of the hill and the beach huts that you have cleverly added in PiP along with the iconic phone box! Love that one :-))

A great view of the coastline and land beyond in you 2nd PiP along with the well planted boat on the pebble beach, which I read are called Bunter pebbles!

A superb set that makes me want to visit again soon :-))

I thought you'd know the location Rosa...............and glad you took the trouble to view large. The cross stands on a slope that leads to the car park. A lot of the beach huts look pretty new this year, so were looking particularly nice!

Glad you like the PiPs as well. I've never heard the term "Bunter pebbles "before but I shall be looking it up later. Thanks for your lovely comments.

Edit: Just looked it up and found an interesting link here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunter_(geology)

Thanks for that link Keith. I love to find the derivation of unusual words and this one makes good sense. Cheers :-)

Diese rote Telefonzelle sticht richtig schön raus lieber Keith und besonders deine Aufnahmen am Strand gefallen mir richtig gut,das schaut toll aus,wie da diese Boote am Strand plaziert sind und in deinen letzten Pip gefällt mir sehr gut diesen geschmückte Boot und das du das mit diesen Blick auf das Meer fotografiert hast :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks for your kind a generous comments Güni..........much appreciated.

Wonderful beach and so deserted at the end of July... has the weather been bad?
Splendid PIP(s) too, Keith!

Glad you like the look of this place Judite...........and my photos. Yes, normally in July with the schoolchildren on. holiday the beach would be really busy..!! Personally, I prefer it this way :-))

Quietness pure ! A fine view along this coastline !

Yes indeed Ulrich..........usually in July, with the schoolchildren on holiday it would be really busy, but the weather has been awful.

I'm glad you like the view! Thank you.

An excellent overall scene with a lovely sky and superb composition,
I like the hint of haze and the boats pulled up on the beach,
Add the pips, and you have presented a wonderful mini-series Keith!

Such kind and generous comments as always Roger. Glad you like this little collection. I have a couple more from here which I'll be posting in due course.

Those boats are some spiffy, Keith, and well placed in your very effective composition. The pastel huts are appealing, too, especially balnced by the red phone box.

Thank you very much John............glad you like this little collection. I have a couple more from here to post in due course.

Is the car park still not fully open, Keith? The headland and the trees give away this location. The sea looks a bit choppy and the sky looks thunderous.

The car park is open......but some spaces are still in use for equipment storage etc. A lot of the work has been completed, but they have erected some huge screens so it's difficult to tell exactly what's going on. I'm not sure if you noticed the link I put in my last shot from here, so here it is again in case you didn't: www.lowerotterrestorationproject.co.uk/estuarytoday.html

It's a recent update on the project.

How I'd love being by the sea.... A very attractive sweep of pebble beach, well taken with the boats as a foreground interest! I love the frist PiP with the pastel coloured beach huts and the bright red of the phone box.

This is about a 15 mini drive from where my daughter lives in Exmouth Gudrun, so nice and easy to visit.

I'm pleased you like this little collection............and thanks for your nice comments. It would normally be much busier at this time of the year, but the weather is not so good. I'm happy with that as it means I get less people in the way of my photography :-))

The matching boats look great! The huts are very attractive arranged in their three colours and I absolutely love the boat garden. There is a boat garden here in a house front yard in our town but it is a bit smaller than your beach one. I always thought it was a lovely idea.

Thanks very much for your lovely comments Eunice...........I'm really pleased you like these photos. It's a wonderful place to visit.

Oh YES vevy beautiful view

Thank you Roland..........much appreciated.

bel endroit et trés beaux bleus dans cette composition

Glad you think so Jean Paul...............thank you.

Wie malerisch die Boote am Strand liegen. Ich mag auch die PiPs, besonders das erste, weil es ein sehr schönes Farbenspiel hat.
