  2. Are you joining me for a paddle? #Dunster #Beach on Bank Holiday Monday. It's a long walk to the #sea when the #tide is out. These two car transporter ships, one anchored, use the Bristol Channel to visit Royal Portbury Docks. Wales is just visible the other side of the Channel.

    Needed a long lens to capture the moment. Despite appearances, the beach area where I was sitting is very sandy.

    Camera: Canon EOS 100D
    Lens: Canon EF-S 55-250mm

  3. This awesome lady was named Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895). An Anglo-Irish writer, her famous hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful was partly inspired by walks around Grabbist Hill in Dunster, Somerset.

    She also wrote Once in Royal David's City.
