Kilve is a small village in Somerset with a rocky beach on the shores of the River Severn estuary, it's recorded by English Nature as a Sight of Special Scientific Interest. The reasons for this are the interesting geological formations, the diverse flora and the fossils that have been found there.

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.
@Skyriani: It's not the easiest place to find, a little village halfway between Bridgwater and Minehead and the beach is down a small lane from the main road. According to Wikipedia the village was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Clive, prossibly meaning cliff.
@franz: Not basalt, it's limestone but tomorrow's shot may give a little more understanding of the fascinating geology of Kilve
@christine: I considered doing that but wanted to show the scale of the formations and the juxtaposition of them within the environment
