It was windy and bitterly cold at Sidmouth Beach today. Jacobs ladder leads down to the beach from the Gardens at the top – the actual wooden ladder is quite impressive being at a guess a good 60 foot, perhaps even more.
The beach is about 1km and the cliffs look like they are made of [...]

This is quite an interesting bit of art on the wall of one of the buildings at Cardiff University. The spots were a sort of terracotta, but all slightly different shades, so perhaps I should have shot this with colour film.

I have been using flickr for some time but I’m wondering how WordPress deals with photos.
It looks pretty user friendly – this is a shot I grabbed with the Samsung G600 of a notice warning about agressive sows on the coastal path just south west of Ladram Bay.
