Went here for a sunset , We spotted the rock formation earlier in the day and so wanted to return - However on closer inspection the only way to get on the beach was a cliff descent which may be done one day for a sunrise not sunset as its pretty dangerous .The sunset was not full of colour as we hoped but was so stormy and so windy it was again dangerous .An amazing location :-)
Plenty of vertical bars and fences in Huyton - a Parliamentary seat that was once well known to anyone of a certain age who had half an interest in politics.
There are no left-wing leanings in this shot however (but arguably a hint of right) as Colas Tug 60096 approaches the station with the 9.54am Drax - Liverpool biomass empties (6M36).
Sorry Mr W, but precious little left for you to stick in your pipe and smoke just here!

Colonial defence comes in many forms, but fledgling settlements often start with turrets before they outfit their militas with starfighters and the like. Targeting is computer assisted, technique easy to learn and the weapons are often potent enough to dissuade pirates from attacking either by ground or air.
Against a more professional opponent, however, static turrets are easy prey to orbital sniping and can only form part of a broader defence tactic, including ships and planetary shielding.
Another rare shot of me using my own light in a scene. Almost feels like blasphemy! Poor Michael got sent off time and time again, using the torch in different areas behind what was left of this structure (really just what was captured here and a bit of ceiling behind) whilst I took my long exposures. As ever, without Michael these little adventures and the photographs I take just wouldn't exist.
Guarding the entrance to the Dartmouth estuary and harbour from the French and Spanish. :)
The castle sits on a rocky outcrop between Warfleet Creek and Dead Mans Cove.........boy, we do have some great place names in England :)

Work is underway on Rhos on Sea’s new coastal defences which include a new rock groyne structure and adding sand to the beach. A Christmas eve walk along this beautiful waterfront.

Taken at Bacton beach in Norfolk late December. Love this beach but more specifically these very photogenic sea defences. The staircase was an instant composition centrepiece and B&W was my go to choice on this image.

Mumbles, Gower Peninsula.
The sea defence at Mumbles is now complete. It is a lovely walk along the seafront with landscaping and play areas for children. The path is shared between walkers and cyclists.
Looking down Victoria Street in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Victoria Street is a street dating from 1860 running north from West Parade parallel with and to the west of the line of the Roman defences at Motherby Hill.
Situated in high mountains on a river island, Norstedt secures the northern border of the Crohnstein Kingdom.
Further north, there is only the Wild Land, to which no one makes any claim.
Every attacker must use the bridges of Norstedt to enter the kingdom.
A river crossing is impossible because of the extreme rapids.
Will the city be able to defend itself against the attacking orc army?
At least help is on the way.
The first knights of the kingdom have already arrived shortly before the gates of Norstedt.
After 20 months of construction I finally managed to finish my Moc for the Lego Exhibition "8th Berliner Steinewahn" back in September.
Phu!
Next year I will build something smaller!
....at least I hope so!
Lars, who somehow always builds everything a little bigger!
Verteidigung von Norstedt
Im hohen Gebirge auf einer Flussinsel gelegen, sichert Norstedt die nördliche Grenze des Königsreichs Crohnstein.
Weiter im Norden befindet sich nur noch das Wilde Land, auf das niemand Anspruch erhebt.
Jeder Angreifer muss die Brücken von Norstedt nutzen um in das Königreich zu gelangen.
Eine Flussüberquerung ist wegen der extremen Stromschnellen unmöglich.
Wird es die Stadt schaffen, sich gegen die angreifende Orkarmee zu verteidigen?
Zumindest ist Hilfe auf dem Weg.
Die ersten Ritter des Königreiches sind bereits kurz vor den Toren von Norstedt eingetroffen.
Nach 20 Monaten Bauzeit hatte ich es endlich geschafft mein Moc zum 8. Berliner Steinewahn im September fertig zu stellen.
Phu!
Im nächsten Jahr baue ich etwas kleineres!
....das hoffe ich zumindest!
Lars, der irgendwie immer alles etwas größer baut! ;-)
Taken from the beach outside the harbour wall. From the boardwalk inside the harbour you can see the waves crashing 30/40 feet into the air.
