Portland yesterday

Bit misty, but a lovely day out













No fish about so had a go at stone balancing instead

 

Marvellous pictures Zig,what a cracking blue sky

 

Ta Loli

I liked it when the mist came in and we couldn't see where the sky and the sea met

 

Loved those balanced stones Ziggy and your little video. What a superb day you had weatherwise,
Jenny

 

Really like the sunset shot the light rays around the clouds are beautiful!

 

Ta all

Were you stationed down there @wiseowl ?

 

@Zigs, is the fog horn still working?

Zigs, what sort of stone/ pebbles are they?

 

Did you ever see the ghost at the tank museum?

Yep, there's a warning to cover your ears on the lighthouse

Flintstones, silica tetrahedra, SI04, most common compound in the earth's crust, concoidal fracture and a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, steel being 6.5

 

Lovely pictures Zigs, it looks like you had a great day out!

@wiseowl.....Fleet Air Arm......that's ringing bells for me, have you ever been involved in the Forces performances at the Royal Tournament, Earls Court, London?

 

That looks a nice place Zigs, must go there some time!

 

Pardon!
