La Hirondelle 72

 


Blue sky, bluer sea, golden hayfields and raw granite. 


The switchback cliff path weaves through a kaleidoscope of colour.


Cormorants perch. Waiting hungrily.


On cliffs which plunge sheer, into clear waters.


Amid the green of the hedgerows, ragwort glows chrome yellow.


And blackberries slowly ripen.


Beyond a wave gnarled promontory, the path plunges steeply downward.


Into Port Fouquet.


A sand filled ravine. Within which, three shoal draft boats find seasonal shelter; and children dig for pirate treasure.


Whilst paddlers play, dogs are walked and swimmers luxuriate in its sun-warmed waters.
