After weeks of clear skies, unsettled weather returns, tinged with the warm glow of the late evening sun. A few showers are developing over the channel.

Textures of the Sea - Part 1 (August 2026)

Continuing my recent series of photographs capturing the textures of the sea. On this occasion waves lap against the seawall including passing over a newly installed ‘sudden drop’ warning sign. 

Mackerel Sky (August 2026)

Photographs of a mackerel sky over Ness and Teignmouth Pier. This name comes from the patchy mottled cloud formation resembling fish scales. 

Hope’s Nose (August 2026)

From the seawall in Teignmouth, I’ve regularly photographed the distant Hope’s Nose, the Orestone and Flat Rock. These features often support compositions that capture the sky or sea conditions. Here’s an example from August’s photos:

However, I recently made a trip to Hope’s Nose in Torquay to get a closer look and a different perspective on a familiar scene. In addition to views of the headland, Orestone and Flat Rock, I captured a few scenes of Thatcher Rock off Meadfoot Beach and shots looking back towards Teignmouth.
