Beer Roads, Beer Beach, Beer

Remarkably fine weather for mid-November allows a view east across the watery Beer Road. The promontory at the left is East Ebb.

Corvids and a gull, Beer Beach, Beer

The corvids are probably rooks. They appear to have colonised the trees on top of the cliff overlooking the beach.

View across Beer Roads and Seaton Bay, Beer Beach, Beer

A virtually cloudless sky and temperatures not far off 15° C bely the fact that this is mid-November. One solitary soul is just about visible in this image.

Fishing boats, Beer Beach, Beer

There's no harbour at Beer so fishing boats are dragged to and from the water by a powerful tractor just about visible at the extreme right. The blue building in the top centre is Beer Sailing Club.

Memorial to Hamilton Macallum, Sea Hill, Beer

The memorial commemorates the life of Hamilton Macallum (1841-1896), a gifted Victorian painter of Scottish descent. The memorial incorporates a barometer. The inscription is undated but the general condition of the memorial indicates some age. The inscription reads: "Erected in kindly remembrance of Hamilton Macallum who during 25 years of occasional residence in this village so endeared himself to its inhabitants that they with many others who knew him desire to perpetuate the memory of a kind friend genial companion an upright man and a distinguished artist" The memorial is seemingly unlisted.

Ginger cat, Beer

This handsome cat is performing his ablutions on the roof of a MINI convertible. It is likely this is a regular occurrence given the amount of fur left on the car's roof.
