Turbulent, Hartland Quay

As with the previous image, although this was the end of the storm that the surf forecasting site MagicSeaweed dubbed ‘Atlantic Take Four’, this depicts a fairly standard winter’s day at Hartland Quay, which must qualify as the most consistent spot for watching rough seas on the North Devon coast.

This was taken looking west from over the wall (which has sustained some damage over the winter) that protects the track down to the old Quay.

I love these turbulent scenes though it is always a challenge to get the compositional elements just right; in other words, it takes a lot of shots in continuous mode on the camera to get the moment that stands out. That would have been expensive in the days of film!
