This is hot off the press as my husband only took this shot 10 hours ago. I posted a pic of the camera in action up there last night!

Unusually the internal lights are on inside the lighthouse, I think maintenance was being carried out on it. This location often records the highest wind speeds in the UK when it's stormy. It was the complete opposite of that last night, so calm!

This is quite a famous drive here on the The is recognised as one of the most beautiful roads in the UK.

Walking slightly off the beaten track to gain this angle my husband took this photo just as night fell, shortly after sunset.

You can see in the distance and also the south coast of the UK mainland.

When everything goes in your favour photography wise!

My husband took this shot of the over a few years ago. The moon looks full but that's due to and the perfectly clear conditions, the sun having just gone down on one of the few days of the year that this shot is achievable.

The inside of the lighthouse is illuminated which is a very rare sight these days. It was spectacular to witness.

Winter sunshine at yesterday afternoon.

It was very chilly, but my husband wanted to get out with the camera after so many cloudy and rainy days.

This image of on the was taken by my husband in late December last year. The sun is at it's most southerly point, providing the opportunity to capture the Needles in silhouette, whilst shining it's beautiful light on

This is a very old shot - I reckon from about 16 years ago, taken by my husband at on the .

This beach is famous for the in the cliffs which is often made into tourist souvenirs. are at the other end of the beach.

It took quite a few attempts to capture the splashing of the wave, but as this was taken on a very hot day that was no hardship, despite getting soaked!
