The tip of the isle of Portland in Dorset, England, is called ‘Portland Bill’ and it is a place that I often visit as it displays dramatic visual day-by-day changes as the weather fronts surge in from the Atlantic. It is a place where no less than 6 conflicting currents meet and produce turbulent seas and mountainous waves. Navigational charts of the area just say ‘extreme danger – keep away’!!
Here we can see the famous Portland Bill lighthouse as waves hit the rocks close by the old crane used for loading the famous Portland stone – used for building the English Houses of Parliament and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Thank you very much my fellow Travel Gumbo-ites! I’m very pleased that you like the shots. Hopefully a few more to come. Regards to you all.
what an image, Mac..! I think I’ll report you to National geographic for being such a great photographer (!)
Trying to think of a new word to describe the energy in that photo….
“Vibrant” – pulsating with vigour and energy:
Yep .. that’s the word !
Another addition for the coffee table book.
Another spectacular view. Mac, by now you should be thinking of a coffee-table book of your best!
