A fountain with one of those curious dolphins spouting water. The appearance of the dolphin dates from the Minoan civilization, and SFAIK, only archer fish squirt water from their mouth. BTW: I was interested to see that this image, not by intent, shows how a small solid stream of water will break up into a series of rounded drops.

No rock fishing here, then. Lots of energy in the shot.

Dramatic image. Not the best day for beach combing or wading, or swimming. Maybe surfers would chance it.

Thanks WPRESTO - Not a place for surfing at this precise spot - the other side of the harbour at Porthleven is where the surfing is normally done. This is regarded as a dangerous beach and because the water is deep close to shore the waves don't so much break as fling themselves onto the beach. Whenever there are widespread storms in the UK, it is often photos from this stretch of beach that hit the newspaper front pages.
