Coverack is a pretty fishing village tucked away in a sheltered bay on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula. The main point of interest is the little harbour around which are a clutch of old cottages, some of which are thatched. The harbour was constructed in 1724 from local green serpentine and hornblende for the growing pilchard fleet that operated from here. The pilchard shoals are now gone but there are still a small number of little boats working from the harbour.
Whilst the waters in the bay are relatively sheltered, this coast is notorious for shipwrecks and nowhere more so than the Manacles reef a couple of miles along the coast. This barely submerged collection of rocks sits around a mile offshore and over the years has claimed more than 150 ships and countless lives.
It was in response to the loss of over 100 lives when the SS Mohegan hit the reef in 1898 that a lifeboat was stationed at Coverack. The all-weather lifeboat service remained until 1972 with duties now covered by the Lizard and Falmouth lifeboats. These days the old lifeboat house serves as a fish and chip shop overlooking the harbour.
Happy Fence Friday! A little departure here. This is the fence around an elevated feeder for goats. The goats and this feeder, along with many other birds and animals are located at the new Yoders Country Market on Rt 29 in Madison County, Virginia. The mini farm is free and kids love it.
What a lovely week it's been, with plenty of warm sunshine, but the beginning of those glorious autumnal colours.
Graphite 6B pencil on Bristol. Drawing is the means by which I explore a subject for its components, and its pull on my inner needs for expression. This was done in Polperro, Devon, England.
Brenton Point State Park
Newport, Rhode Island
Filters: Gold-N-Blue polarizer, 3-stop soft-edge GND, 10-stop ND
Taken recently on a Saturday morning that started out nice but turned increasingly overcast. The Gold-N-Blue polarizer however picked up some nice highlights in this jetty. It can produce weird results in color, but the Gold-N-Blue is becoming my go-to filter for black-and-white photography.
BTW, the Great Egret from my previous post started fishing on the other side of the jetty as I was wrapping up this shot. It's nice how things work out sometimes.
A little about the location (from Wikipedia): Brenton Point State Park is located on Aquidneck Island in the town of Newport, Rhode Island. The park's location off Ocean Drive offers majestic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean as it meets Narragansett Bay.
The Ocean Drive Historic District covers the long street of the same name along the southern shore of Newport. It was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1976, in recognition for its distinctive landscape (in part the work of Frederick Law Olmsted) and architecture, which is less formal and generally not as ostentatious as the grand summer properties of Bellevue Avenue.
It consists of houses on large lots that overlook the beaches and ocean. It was a favorite picnicking spot of the wealthy summer residents of the mansions on nearby Bellevue Avenue in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
beim Katzen-Papa auf dem langen Canapé*
Zuerst kam die Lady Maine Coon zum Tretteln auf meiner Flauschdecke.
Eine Stunde später kam Carlos auch.
Zuerst Tretteln, dann ausruhen: Ich muss dabei aber aufpassen, dass keine Störung dazukommt.

Sometimes wish I lived closer to an ocean, but these past few weeks have made me satisfied with just imagining one in scenes at Creve Coeur Lake (esp. when fog blankets the opposite shore and the water seems to stretch to the horizon). Best wishes to friends in Houston and Florida for a quick recovery!

Ostend, the industrial harbour, a favourite haunt!
We are back and on the hunt for images.
The gentleman stops and starts chatting... mainly about his cutie pie in the back, safe, and loving the ride!
On the Continent, the electrical bicycles are very well appreciated by the more mature population.
He pushed off again, his eyes were closed, I noticed he did that a lot, like up-calling the images? LOL
To emphasise his words...
Another nice encounter.
Have a super day and thank you, M (*_*)

Poor light rain and wind all conspire against us at this time of year but there are still nice shots to be had. Every day is a new learning curve and this is one I will remember. Male and female out together the male hunting the female begging for food such a wonderful spectacle to watch. I guess it heralds the beginnings of courtship, new life just around the corner. Happy days.

"Lockdown" (2021)
This picture shows the #Schlichtehof in #Steinhagen.
From 10:00 p.m. the courtyard is deserted.
I closed it off by #Lightpainting with a virtual "curtain".😉
