My Local photographs if interested section 2

I Have opened an aditional thread because I felt the number of photographs on the first insertion is now slowing down the loading of this article.

Today I have put in four pictures of Torquay harbour which is now mainly a leisure harbour. The last photo has some engineering interest because the two towers you will see operate a cill which raises a barrier to hold a level of water in the inner harbour which always previously dried out a low tides.

Pic 1 outer harbour Torquay and marina.
Pic 2 outer harbour and anglers. I used to moor my own boat a few yards from
this spot 30 years ago.
Pic 3 Inner harbour and town view.
Pic 4 inner harbour with barrier to hold water in harbour at low tides.

Mate, our harbours have been leisure harbours for years, no b******d wants to work!

Day 7. I have now switched to the western end of the bay to the town of
Brixham. This is a very picturesque type postcard spot which was in the past a major fishing port on the south coast of England. Many of the old fishing cottages have now been converted to commercial outlets. I would estimate (purely guesswork) that there about 20 trawler/fishing boats still operating. In addition the surrounding coastline is equal in beauty to many places in the world.

Day 8

It has now come the time to show the final four pictures, the reason being as I expect some members know, I am getting out the box camera again to replenish my stock of photographs in that wonderful land of Oz.
If any models are viewing this thread I could no doubt use their services to liven up some of my landscape pictures during the forthcoming visit.
I hope you enjoyed the previous entries and perhaps you will let me show further landscapes scenes in the not to distant future.

Thanks for looking.

these places bring back memories, used to spend most weekends up on the moors, but interstinf you took a pic of my brother in laws place in Brixham. It is his holiday place and spent several weeks there 4 years ago. Ill tr7y to find some pics of the area around Lyme Regis and shute areas.

To Guy ,
Thank you for the mail, its a small world when you take a photograph of someones previous residence and then see it displayed 12000 miles away.
The limestone grey property was taken around half a mile from Newbridge on the moors, the road that leads to Spitchwick opposite Holne Chase on the R.Dart.

is that little restaurant still there at two bridges on the moors, we used to use that as a finishing point most weekends.

Yes Guy.
I've also used the parking space opposite when I was younger and doing the walking. The road has not changed in the 34 years I have lived in Devon.
