Stayed in Lynmouth, Devon last June...never been before, but it's a gorgeous part of the country!

A few by the harbour...






and Macker & Faz...a couple of old goats, sunning themselves on the rocks!

Absolutely stunning pictures Stopher, looks a really lovely place too

Ah, these were taken during your HDR period weren't they mate?

Really liking that 1st harbour one. The railing makes a great lead in line to the image and the composition is spot on

Great work mate

Thanks for the comments!

Muan...yeah, it was my first holiday away to try out HDR properly...how did you guess!
Still a lot to learn, as well as learning Photoshop properly...Bought quite a few good books to help me...in fact, I will post a few recommendations for other people, If they're interested in taking it up also!

lovin the photo's mate especially the last one of macker and faz

Nice Pics mate I have been to Lynmouth once fasinating place you must have gone on the lift I can see it in the fourground on won of your shots nice one

Yeah...it's a Victorian 'water-powered' railway, which climbs 400ft up the cliff!
Amazing contraption!
This shot is a 'reverse' view of the second photo above!

Yea cracks me up how the track widens just at the point where they pass each other

That 3rd pic is so damn good I had to go back to the top to double check that Muan hadn't posted it.

oh god here goes the coach driver.the twin towns of lynton and lynmouth-mouth at the bottom-were the villages that had the massive flood at a place called watersmeet(where rivers meet).lynmouth was washed away and severely damaged-good museum of it there.fabulous pub on mars hill(second pic with lights on you can just see it),they do lovely steak pie lol.they have the highest sea cliffs in the area and have a fantastic cliff path that goes for miles.both towns were built up by a millionaire(think he owned a magazine)and bankrupted himself doing them both up.he's a local hero.
the cliff lift is not unique there are several but this is the only one that still uses water in the tanks to lift-they fill the tank then release it.all the others are now electric.they also have very similar ones at scarborough and hastings to name but a few.i think the area makes for a lovely quiet relaxing holiday.good drivers too but dont get stuck on porlock hill like i did 20 years ago in an old bedford coach!

Porlock hill? We know that only to well, nearly didn't make it going up in the escort then on the way down got stuck behind a small bus and almost burnt the brake out It is now marked "Avoid" on our road map lol

us skilled folk use the private road now instead new section macker.duplemans travel guide...........duplemans best roads etc.......remember the old army road at faslane?

I posted this pic on the UKHCS forums...it was taken on my way home, just before my last descent into Porlock.



That hill is not for the faint-hearted...how the hell you coach drivers tackle it I don't know!
I was warned before hand, but thought it was being exaggerated....I mean, it's the main A-road along the North Devon coast...can't be that bad, I thought!

i had a lovely pic of that hill in black and white looking down above the low cloud.cant find it now but it looked amazing

Always liked tht picture Chris
