Not knowing the British holiday schedule, I inadvertently booked us for 2 days in the middle of the week during a week long school break holiday. The town felt very "tourist trap" and was packed with people. I was very disappointed. I know lots of people on the LUG make great use of that type of situation, but I don't have that talent. I have some more that I will post, but I haven't started working on them yet. As far as the second picture, I'm unfamiliar with the erosion plan, etc. I just liked the texture of the light on the brick and the lines. Nothing disrespectful intended as I'm totally unfamiliar with the area. I just wanted a quiet place to celebrate my daughter's birthday, whom I hadn't seen in 10 months. Didn't quite work out that way. We stayed at Raven Rouse, in the best 2 rooms (with the fantastic views of the bay.)
