We were enjoying some time with our granddaughter last Thursday when she suddenly pointed out that the sky was changing colour. She was right. It had been an awful day of weather – heavy persistent rain and windy. THe first thing we noticed was the sky turning blue and then going into purple as inContinue reading “Amazing Skies over Somerset”
Sometimes it pays to wake up early and today was one of those times. During a heavy shower the rain produced two stunning rainbows. Reaching right down to the water the highlighted the Grand Pier here in Weston Super Mare Somerset. Please enjoy this beautiful display of natures beauty.
Dunster, near to the Somerset coastline at Minehead is a popular town with visitors. The ancient castle on the hill overlooking the town is its most prominent feature of course and the above photograph was taken from the ramparts. The attractive main street, at the top of which is the old yarn market, is lined with attractive shops and cafes. Even if you have never visited Dunster it will still seem familiar to you as a well used film location – check out Agatha Christie’s Poirot for instance.
UPHILL
The small village of Uphill consists of the village itself around the marina and down to the beach. Also, it spreads along the Axe Estuary from the marina where the Nature Reserves are filled with birds, wildlife, and plenty of botanical interest. This area at the southern end of Weston Super Mare is a most delightful place and you can easily, with a picnic, spend a whole day here exploring with your camera or binoculars. It reminds me of parts of Suffolk, particularly around Snape, where the skies are big, the land filled with birdsong. It is generally much quieter than Weston Super Mare, day visitors there would never be aware that such a beautiful place was just a few hundred yards from hustle and bustle of a Bank Holiday weekend.
February is often thought to be the bleakest month of winter, the last throes of poor weather before the onset of spring. Not so this year. After a mild and fairly damp winter we have been treated to a beautiful week or so of sunny weather that produced the most amazing sunsets over the Bristol Channel. These photos are of that week and are taken mainly at Uphill where the River Axe estuary meets the channel. Alongside these are photos taken at the National Trust property of Tyntesfield House near Bristol. WE have been treated to some gorgeous colours that were vibrant and deep culminating on the magical display at the end of the days.
A perfect winters afternoon as we look over the Axe Estuary from Uphill Nature Reserve. The path leads around to the boatyard from her at the Axe Estuary at the end of the beach at Weston Super Mare Somerset England. The land that gets the tidal flow over it is rich in wild flowers inContinue reading “Uphill Estuary Weston Bay Somerset – A beautiful special place”
