Wooltack Point and Tusker Rock Looking towards Skomer Island, with Garland Stone about 3.5 kilometres away in line with Tusker Rock. This visit in 2007 had poignant memories for me, as five years earlier I had scattered my aunt's ashes at the tip of Wooltack Point. She had requested this spot as, for her, it was "where earth met heaven". When I first went there, I could see what she meant.

Pony near Wooltack Point, on a midsummer's evening This pony had been grazing much lower down, and when it decided to head up the slope I had just a few seconds to catch this silhouette against the evening sky. Shot taken at 21.08, a few days after midsummer. I am posting this shot several months after the event - to celebrate the completion of my first thousand images on Geograph.

Coast at Mouse's Haven Looking south from Wooltack Point past Mouse's Haven towards The Anvil. A dull day with few views, but to compensate there were plenty of choughs, a peregrine, two buzzards, and grey seals hauled out in the coves.
