Strongy's morning walk.

Portland Bill early this morning.

Lighthouse at the Bill.


Rock Pipit.


Surfing at 8.30 in the morning, you have to be dedicated (and mad)!!




Greater Black Backed Gulls.


Pulpit Rock.

 

Bet that was an invigorating walk, Strongy .... and I bet that water is icy cold, too!

Thanks for sharing that. I was lazy and sat in the sunshine and read .... :hehe:

 

That has to be up near the top of my favourite places!...many fond memories of my family trudging up the Light house and hours just sitting and one mad moment scaling the Pulpit rock:D

 

I went birding mainly, specifically to see summer visitors arriving and saw absolutely nothing.:(
They are late or I am too early.:D

I have never seen surfers there before and that water was cooooold!!

Pal, did you jump off Pulpit Rock? The currents there are incredibly strong (as you probably know).

 

Awsome pictures, what a great area, and i bet those surfers didnt expect to be viewed by someone in Canada huh :hehe::wink:

 

hi Penny, I bet they didn't.:D

The Isle of Portland is an interesting place, it protrudes 5 miles out into the English Channel south of Weymouth where I live joined by a causeway. It is solid Limestone and has many quarries. St Pauls Cathederal and other buildings in London were built from the stone there and some in the States.

 

So its Portland Stone from which we get, Ordinary Portland Cement.

It looks a wild place strongy.

 

I lived on Portland for 6 months in rented before buying our first house here. Even in summer you walked at a 45 degree angle because of the wind.:D

 

Great pics strongy :thmb:
