    Wow, Andrew, stunning, stunning and more stunning!! And love the way the road … ummmm… is? Was this actually a road? (or am I just gullible!!? Don’t answer that!!! :)) Love the way the rocks head in the same direction but at a different angle, really pushes my eye to look at different angles! And, of course, the colour! Well, spectacular! :))

    What an amazing image!! Love that sky, but what about that pier….how long was it?

  • Andrew Widdowson replied 1 day ago

    Thanks heaps Mel :-) The pier is actually really long. I was used in the late 19th century for a ferry so people could come to the Dell for picnics.
