A great start to the day, but it went downhill from then on and the grey but mild weather continues! The Exe Estuary and Exmouth from Starcross, Devon. More-or-less as taken apart from a very slight crop.
New Year's Day dawn 2008 at the Exe Estuary, from Starcross, Devon, England. More-or-less as taken. Happy New Year!
Better viewed On Black, I think?
We've just returned from a very enjoyable eight days in the south-west of England, staying at a lovely old cottage in Branscombe for four nights and then moving on to Looe in Cornwall for the remainder of the time.
At the tiny fishing village of Beer on the East Devon coast there is no harbour as such and so the fishing boats are hauled up out of the water onto the shingle beach.
This delightful little east Devon village isn't actually at the mouth of the River Axe at all. The river has silted up and the mouth is well over half a mile away on the eastern edge of Seaton, which is across the other side of the river. Here the original bridge, which is now pedestrian only, dates from 1877 and was the first in England to be made of concrete. There is now a more modern road bridge alongside. The estuary is renowned for its bird life, and on the other side of the river the Seaton Tramway runs a service to Colyton using replicas of trams that were formerly used at seaside and other towns around England. There are the remains of a hill fort on Hawkesdown Hill, seen on the left behind the thatched houses. The village has a Grade I-listed church dating back to the Norman era, with a 15th century tower, seen on the right. There is a also choice of two delightful village pubs where I have enjoyed many a pint over the years.

I took this shot when we visited East Devon in early 2019. The Church of St Winifred at Branscombe lies secluded in a valley just behind the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast. It is among the oldest and most architecturally significant parish churches of Devon. It probably dates back as far as about 995, but records of the vicars only go back to the thirteenth century. The tower is the oldest part and the base could be Saxon while the main part is early 12th century Norman, as is most of the nave. The 18th century three-decker pulpit seen in the centre of the picture is quite rare.

The Grade I-listed building is considered by Simon Jenkins to be among England's Thousand Best Churches.
Beverley H as schoolgirl at Dumpdon Hill, East Devon, UK. I took advantage of the "loves you" carving on the fallen tree, but somehow everything just worked for this shot: position of the hands, legs, feet, tie etc. (This is pic 1 of 4 in the series - see also Bev H School 2, 3 and 4).
The River Axe rises near Beaminster in Dorset, flows west then south by Axminster and joins the sea at Axmouth near Seaton in Lyme Bay. Across the other side of the river, which is rich in bird-life, can be seen part of Seaton. The Seaton Tramway runs along the western side of the river up to Colyford and Colyton. It gives views of a nature reserve on one side and the estuary wildlife on the other.
The Exe Estuary and Exmouth from Starcross after a heavy shower interupted the sunny period! [Taken a few minutes after the previous rainbow photo and in a different direction facing slightly further downriver towards the estuary mouth.]
