Keith Burton / Photos

Orcombe Point, Exmouth, Devon

These cliffs mark the western boundary of the Jurassic Coast, which is a World Heritage Site on the English Channel coast of southern England. It stretches from here to Studland Bay in Dorset, a distance of about 96 miles.

It is the only place on Earth where rocks from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods can be seen in one place, representing 185 million years of the Earth’s history. (Info from Wikipedia).

On a lovely day like this though, it's mainly a great place for family fun.

It's nice to be back after my short break. I managed to do a bit of catching up on at least one of each of your most recent photos (but apologies if I've missed anyone). Over the next few days, I'll try to catch up with some of your other photos if I have time.

Enjoy the rest of your week :-)

Hope you had a nice break and a great image for a restart, Keith
A terrific action capture of the footballer and I like the blossom on the green bank while the rock layers are fascinating,
The notes are also very interesting !

So much to like in this gorgeous shot Keith! I also noticed the footballer. You caught the ball perfectly :-)) It is such a wonderful coastline, and wow, what an age it has been there! The white flowers or blossom look beautiful and the reflections of the walkers along the beach finishes the shot beautifully.

Don't worry about catching up in my gallery Keith. Have a good and happy Wednesday.

Keith Burton replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Thank you very much Rosa,.......I'm pleased you like this one. I didn't take a huge amount of photos, but I always try to get one of Exmouth beach. It changes all the time.

It's almost impossible to get a shot without people in it at this time of year, so I'm glad you didn't mind them.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

This looks appealing... not a crowded beach like we had this long weekend with hot temperatures, seems all north country poured in the Algarve ...!
Don't worry about catching up, I don't want not to feel guilty because I don't always do it too...

Keith Burton replied to Xata:

Glad you like this one Isabel. This end of the beach doesn't get very crowded until the tide has gone right out. It was a nice sunny day, but not particularly warm unlike whee you are.

I hope you're much better today :-)
