Pictures From Mountbatten Breakwater,Plymouth --#1 Homeward Bound
After i had taken some unwanted items to the local tip, last Monday evening,i went on to Mountbatten Breakwater,to take some pictures.This breakwater was built around1878 to protect Sutton Harbour and the Cattewater,at the mouth of the river Plym. During WW2 this was a flying boat base, and was barred to the public. In the 1990's,the Plymouth Development Corporation, took over the area,and the breakwater was once again,returned to the people of Plymouth. It gives great views out into Plymouth Sound,and also of Plymouth Hoe and the waterfront.
This series of pictures were taken over about an hour and a half in the evening,at high tide, and it was very windy. But it wasn't raining !!!!!!!!!!
I hope you will enjoy the pictures:-)))

Great lighting through the sails Mike but it looks a little choppy. Well composed with the yacht having plenty of room to move into :))))

The reduced misty colours of the land match the crawly waves.

A lively image. I can almost feel the wind and taste the salt spray. I also appreciate the little bit of background history of the area. I look forward to the rest of the series.
