Watchet is one of our favourite coastal towns to visit and being just 15 miles away is one of the closest. The town itself is over 1000 years old with the harbour being used for trade over many centuries. Now it is a pleasure marina.
I took the opportunity to try out my new camera and had lots of fun 'zooming' around!
I have to say the zoom is pretty amazing! In the middle of this picture on the horizon there is an island - Steep Holm.
Here is Steep Holm taken from the same spot on the harbour wall with my zoom
and the Welsh coast
and the new reactor at Hinkley Point.
Note the blue sky in the above pictures - this was the view looking in to Watchet
The macro also works well
and you can't beat a bit of rust!
Yankee Jack (the statue lol) keeps an eye on the marina.
There are several gift shops in Watchet, all well stocked with quality local crafts and we came away with a few Christmas presents - we could be back again soon!
Amazing zoom! It's better than some binoculars. You're gonna have so much fun with it I'm sure. Enjoy! ;^)

It sounds as if you enjoyed a wonderful day catching all the sights of Watchet with your new camera, Lin. I'm with you re the rust; I'm rather partial to it myself
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to be so close to the coast. I still prefer to use my camera for taking pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking me on another outing. Your picture are great.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to go somewhere lovely and play with your new camera!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos with your new camera!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos with your new camera Lin, looks like a great day out.
ReplyDeleteHow clever to be sewing a pouch. I wish I could do that. Meanwhile, great photos especially the last one. And do you mind saying what kind of camera you got that can do macro as well?
ReplyDeleteWatchet looks well worth a trip - and a proper exercise for the new camera!
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a Zoom. What a pretty place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI just love your photos of your beautiful home. It is so different from where I live. It is nice to visit virtually!
ReplyDeleteI had to go and look at goggle maps to see where you were..........I had no idea you could see Wales across the water.....blogging is always teaching me things.....
