Room with a view...

You're looking at the farthest outpost of the Brean Down fort. The Palmerston Fort was built to defend the country against a feared Napoleonic invasion. It was augmented with gun turrets and outposts such as this one in the two World Wars and, again, they happily proved unnecessary.

We had a decent walk over the Down today; the Down juts out over the Bristol Channel for a mile and a half, and is about a hundred metres above the sea and the beach and park home resort below. At ground level there are amusement arcades and bars and a zillion caravans, but up here it's pleasant in the fresh autumn sunshine.

This is a five frame +/-6 HDR. I liked the whitecaps as they roared over the falls, which are really the rest of the peninsular but beneath the waves. In the distance you can see Steep Holm and, although the wide angle lens doesn't show it well, Flat Holm to the right (north). Do go Large.
