Just got back from Sennen, walked to the bottom of Pedn-Men-Du (1 mile
from Land's End) and took a few photos - see
www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/Pedn.html. (Apologies to locals for the
mis-spelling of Du on the website.)


Isn't that sea a lovely blue/turquoise colour even in a gale, almost
looks inviting :-) (After seeing Southend United yesterday !)


It did look good, I waited for the sun to catch it. I think all the
trapped air bubbles helps to give that colour.

Not inviting enough for anybody to jump in, which was a shame as it
would have given more idea of scale to the photos. (On the downside
they would probably now be dead!)

Yes, scale is a problem. They don't look particulary big seas to me from
those images. I guess the only way to do it is get something man made,
into the frame like a house, harbour wall or breakwater.
