"North Easterly Swell"

Ravens Cove Start Point South Hams Coast Devon.

 

"Ramblings"

North easterly wind blowing accross Start Bay and Start Point throughout christmas and the winter sea swell was looking very moody, messy, grey and a touch muddy.

No big lens with me this morning so I put the camera into DX mode to grab a shot of the black back gull.

My main driving route when heading out to Start Point or East Prawle is the Strete Gate to Startbay road that took a bit of a hammering xmas day during high tide with the main road closed for awhile sometime later I believe to clear up the debris washed over from the beach etc.

Not a one off event for this stretch of the coast as the old locals will tell you.

This area has a lot of recent and past interesting history associated with high seas and strong easterly, north easterly winds.
