Spring tides and surf in Torbay

The period of spring tides made me head into the Bay looking for the very low tide.  I’ve found in the past that you can access/photograph rock pools that cannot be seen for much of the month and that was the plan.  There was only one day of the peak tides [...]

Hoar frost in south Devon

I thought that the really cold weather was maybe over around Totnes by now (22 December 2010) but checking the thermometer this morning it had hit -6 deg C overnight.  The minor road I live on has had little traffic so had some aspects of a skating rink but I’d arranged [...]

A different take on dawn

Looking for some “good dawn” images I headed into the Bay for 6:30 am with dawn being at 7:15 am.  By the time I looked into the Bay I could see that I was not going to get a “clear” sunrise of any sort; the lights in the distance are Brixham.  [...]

Light on water

Having caught up with the backlog of the holiday snaps I started working on the relatively small number I’ve taken since I’ve been back and wondering about my next post.  These are not all taken on the same day but I realised that on a number of days I’d taken photos [...]

The sea and the sky

A short evening wander around the centre of Torbay and I found from a photographic perspective that looking down at the sea and up at the sky was the most rewarding.

At Goodrington the last light of the sun on the waves looked good.  The area has some colourful buoys marking [...]

Summer afternoon on the beach!

The weather had not been that good for a few days so despite it looking a little grey and rather thundery I decided I had to get out.

It looked a little brighter when I got to Goodrington beach.  It was quite warm and rather windy – the beach had [...]

Around the northern arm of the Bay

I’d not been out around the Bay for a while and so I decided to take a look around the northern arm of the Bay wandering from Torquay around to Hope’s Nose and beyond.

One of the iconic sites of Torbay is Thatcher Rock.  As seen above from Meadfoot beach (& [...]

Evening storm

On a Wednesday night I will often walk with friends on Dartmoor however it has rained quite a lot recently so we decided to take a shorter walk in the Bay.

This shows the storm approaching.

There was a fairly brief storm, rain, hail, sleet  (which we did not shelter [...]
