Description
On a recent trip back to my native Cornwall, I visited Boscastle again, this was the scene of a devastating flash Flood in August 2004.. This is an image of the charming medieval harbour... during some stormy seas, showing how wonderfully protected it is as a safe harbour, unfortunatley, the very elements that make it so unique, were it's undoing during the floods, as water tumbled down the steep slopes towards the little town..However the local people have been determined to rebuild the place, and are well on the way to doing just that..
It showed me one of many reasons I love the place so much with its, dramatic coastline, sheltered valleys and ancient woodland. It is also internationally renowned for its wildlife and geology, and for the variety of footpaths to explore, and some of England's best examples of ancient stitchmeal farming..
So my friends maybe no matter how stormy life can be it is possible to rebuild... I wish you all a very happy Christmas, and wonderful new year..

Somewhere on the way to peace the pink noise made ghost towns of the engineers. A real flood and the happy thoughts of dragons can change that to primitive survival.
A wonderful stormy capture. Merry Christmas,Danny! -M :^)

Great picture my friends erland
Happy new year too. Hope you will bring us as many beautiful pictures as you did this year.
Happy Cristmas to you Danny. There is an amazing blowhole just around the corner and if the conditions are just right water will shoot up like a geyser but only at certain tide times. The flood was truly frightening and has left a few scars but the rebuild is coming on well.
Such a wonderful setting for a mermaid :) Once again your photo brings my mind into another world. Thanks for the well wishes and I hope that I am not too late in wishing you a great New Year !! !!~BEAUTIFUL~!!
