I was intending to drive down to Devon today to get out for the first time in 6 weeks, but alas I was sidetracked by another commitment and by the time I was free I had left it too late. A good sunset tonight (in Bristol anyway) so I pulled this deep from the HD to give a similar sunset taken months ago. I have temporarily abandoned the square format in favour of the classic 1:1.62 format
I am off work until thursday now and I will endeavour to go out and get some new shots before then.

This is the beautiful Monknash Coast, a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales. This photo was taken just before sunset (and me getting a soaking) this evening.
The Nash Point Lighthouse on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast in South Wales is a listed building dating from 1831–32. First lit in 1832, the lighthouse was electrified in 1968. It became the last manned lighthouse in Wales and was automated in 1998. Parts of the section of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast where the lighthouse stands consists of cliffs of Lias limestone interbedded with softer erodible material.

The Nash-Healey was produced from 1951 to 1954. The 1951 Nash-Healey is called the first post-war sports car from a major American automaker, as it was released two years before the Chevrolet Corvette. Just 104 were made for the 1951 model year. Only 20 are known to exist today, which makes them more rare than a Tucker.
A Nash-Healey served as the course car for the 1951 Carrera Panamericana, described as one of the most dangerous automobile races of any type in the world. Driven by Chuck Stevenson, the Nash-Healey ran ahead of the racers to ensure the way was clear on "the world's greatest road race".
To create a racing pedigree for the marque Donald Healey built four lightweight Nash-Healeys for endurance racing. Like the road cars, they had Nash Ambassador engines and drivelines. However, fitting higher-compression aluminum cylinder heads, special manifolds, and twin SU carburetors increased their power to 200 hp (149 kW; 203 PS). The cars had spartan, lightweight aluminum racing bodies. Three open versions were built, and one coupe. These cars competed in four consecutive Le Mans races and one Mille Miglia. Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton debuted the prototype at Le Mans in 1950. It was the first-ever Le Mans entry to have an overdrive transmission. Not only was the car one of the 29 finishers from the field of 66, but it also finished in fourth place.
Went out to the Wapato Showdown this morning and this was one of the little cuties.. I'm glad I got there as early as I did because it started getting warm and I was a little disappointed that they had to park them so close together.. I didn't get as many shots as I would have liked because I just could not get an angle to get the picture.. This one was almost on the end of a row as you can see they gave it a bit more room..
The two lighthouses at Nash Point on the Bristol Channel between Barry and Porthcawl were built in 1831-31 after the the loss of a ship called 'The Frolic' which was wrecked on the Nash Sands in March 1831 with the loss of about 78 lives. Although no longer in use the eastern lighthouse is now open to visitors and the fog horn has been restored and, although currently out of use awaiting repairs, is normally sounded once a month.
