rocks

I used a bit of time lapse and intuition to get this shot.

Here is what Battery Rocks looked like in 1913. Obviously there is no Jubilee pool because that was built in the 1930's

Great geology in this area.

Notice St Michael's Mount on the horizon on the right as the tide once more creates a rocky island at Battery Rocks.

This war memorial once stood with no bathing pool and only rocks. The rocks themselves are known as Battery Rocks as there was once a battery of guns protecting our coast here during the Napoleonic Wars. Note the Scillonian at its winter mooring in the inner dock.

As the tide comes in around the 'island', St Michael's Mount may be seen in the distance.

Looking southwards from Battery Rocks can be seen the Gear Pole on Gear Rocks. Prehistoric tools made of rock from here have been found in Scotland! Strong swimmers like to exercise by swimming out there but I have never dared to try it myself!

As sun goes down this is the view from Battery Rocks to Newlyn a mile away.
