Grey-Day Landscapes

My visit to Rhossili in my previous post was marked by grey and dreary weather, with barely a hint of sunshine, so the day was not ideal for landscape photography, to say the least. However, I did take a few snaps, which may be even more dull than my usual efforts!

Here's the view from the base of the cliffs where I was photographing the Purple Sandpipers, looking back towards Rhossili Down:

Looking towards Worm's Head:

 Worm's Head again, with a barnacle-covered ship's anchor in the foreground:

A couple of shipwrecks. I'm not sure which ships they are, but I think Adam Tilt might know:

As I began walking back, the wind got up, blowing sand in horizontal streaks across the open beach:

Rhossili Down, with the Old Rectory:

The wreck of 'The Helvetia', with the small island of Burry Holms in the distance:

And the same wreck with Worm's Head as a backdrop:

Trudging up to Rhossili village, I looked back towards 'The Worm':



Finally, a shot of Rhossili Down:

Apparantly, a Snow Bunting was seen atop Rhossili Down on that day, so perhaps I should have gone up there!
