Round One was over and done with last weekend, but Round Two is on its way, so brace yourselves.... Here is a shot of Longships Lighthouse in Cornwall getting a pounding from an Atlantic Storm. Some great fun had at the coast.

The lighthouse stands at 115ft tall, but I have to say this is somewhat smaller than last years monumental 230ft explosions I witnessed on the cliffs. None the less, you have never heard me swear so much in the excitement. Smile

Stunning shot David - "1/1000th of a second simply to stop camera shake in 60mph winds" - I hope you secured yourself and kit to the headland.
The 230 ft waves last year must have been awe inspiring.

It was a brilliant day, I got many other explosions but none were as photogenic as this. Many thanks Mike.

Spectacular capture David, that must have been a bit hair raising on the cliffs, well worth it though.
Looking forward to seeing some of your Chilterns photographs online...my neck of the woods ;-)

Plenty to come from the Chilterns, I was there in the spring, it has the most perfect trees in England. I will be back up again next year for sure. The plant life is also utterly outstanding. You live in a beautiful place.
