Beautiful pic, Guin. I'm chilled to the bone just looking at it.

Funny thing, its been relatively warm (55-60) - we had tropical-like thunder and buckets of rain last night (you must have had it too). I don't have my heat on yet!

Don't those buildings get a little erm... salty?

Yes. If it dries like that, I've seen my house sparkle in the sunlight (kind of like a vampire).
It's raining again though, so most of that salt wash will get rinsed away.

Beautiful town and pics Gob! Waves like that (they were 18 feet or so yesterday afternoon), are becoming more and more regular. Once they get over 15 and the winds gust over 40, it gets messy fast.

Thanks Guin, Porthleven is just down the road from our house in Cornwall.
The village our house is in copped this in the same storms...
The cliffs those waves are breaking over, Pedn-men-du are over 100 foot high.
The light on the lighthouse (Longships Lighthouse) is 35 metres above the sea.
Luckily our house is set back from the coast and well protected.

Wow, it's so weird realizing that in 100 years those villages will be gone, consumed by rising sea levels.
Oh wait, there is no such thing as global climate change. I forgot.
