The Lizard
Today, we visited The Lizard, the most southerly point of the British mainland. The weather continued to be unpredictable and on the stormy side, but for several hours the cloud cover broke and we enjoyed stunning blue skies. The wind, of course, was still very strong and at times it pushed so hard I had to crouch down to keep from falling over. As we walked slowly along the cliff top path (part of the South West Coast Path), I stopped to recorded several video clips of the turbulent sea, attempting to capture the sensation of the place—the raw feeling of standing at the edge of the land, gazing out over the vast, wind-churned, breathtaking expanse of the North Atlantic. I later combined several of the clips I captured at The Lizard with others from Land’s End into a single short video:
Assortment
- Reviving the Dispatches
- It’s been a while. I suppose you could call my lack of blogging an intermission. A dry spell. A quite interlude. Writer’s block. Whatever label you give it, there’s no denying that the words around here have evaporated faster than dew drops in the Mohave.
- Old School Forest Preserve
- It’s been a real treat to be able to bike outside for so long this fall. I mean, it’s December for crying out loud and I can still ride the 12-mile loop to Old School Forest Preserve and back without risking frostbite or snowblindness.
