We have had some glorious end of year sunlight this weekend. Sharp, bright and crisp has been the order of the day. Temperatures down, gloves needed, sun low in the sky. I just had to see the sea so we went to St Govan's Head , site of the tiny chapel (hidden by shadow in my photo) built in the 14th century. The chapel is built in a fissure in the rocks where the hermit St Govan lived and died in the 6th century. There are stone steps down to it and no matter how many times you do it, the number is never the same going back up as it is going down. All of the headland is now in MOD hands for training so it is only open at certain times. It is popular with rock climbers and there are pegs along the cliff edge for them to tie to but I noticed lots of erosion and did not venture too near the edge! The colour of the sea was mesmerising. It was a stunning blue and I could have stared at it for ages but it was too cold to linger. Brisk walking to increase the blood flow was required! A walk to blow the cobwebs away and enjoy the tail end of autumn.

Stunning, spent the day indoors as it is grey and damp here, the worse sort of weather. Your pics have blown my cobwebs away however.
Now that is better than the snow you mentioned in your last post! Damp and grey here but I've been away teaching indoors all weekend so I didn't mind.
What amazing views and photos. Looks wonderful in the sunshine. You've obviously had it better than we have here.
Stunning photographs; what a beautiful day and wonderful scenery!
Such perfect photos of one of my favourite places in the world. Thank you.
