Whitsand Bay from Rame Head chapel


sorry for no post yesterday .. stormy evening to say the least -- stared out the window for hours .. lightning followed by lightning every couple of seconds - never witnessed anything like it! (i was so transfixed, i didn't bother trying to take any photos! ... round these parts, when we get a storm there's a bit of flash here, a bit there, sorta thing - so a constant cavalcade of flashes was certainly not expected, & when it happened i was too busy watching to care!)
