Two people are enjoying the view from the seaward wall of the breakwater,looking towards Cornwall.
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:-)))

What a lovely set this would make for a movie.
The final or opening scene
Wonderful shot mate.
Well done
Great image of the two walking along the windy seawall....best wishes, den
A well realized image that brings yourself to taste the sea!
The annotations that you have done are very important and they make to concern the photo with further interest
...you can smell the sea and the wind in her hair!
token against the light it has a touch of b/w!
Have a great sunday Mike!

Very good compo in this shot with the diagonal line of the seawall coming in.
The two people add some extra cachet to the picture.
Good capture of the backlight.
