I've spent the last five days trying to work out which picture to use for the fantastic theme set by Tara for the special 100th edition of The Galley. I have really struggled because to me a postcard picture is a landscape, and I've used many of mine before for other Gallery themes or for Wordless Wednesdays. And so the one Gallery that I really wanted to take part in started slipping through my fingers.
And then I followed Tara's e-mail of the post over to her blog and looked at her picture, and the reasoning behind her choice:
"Is there anything finer than the great British seaside?"
And it hit me!
The photo that I have had in my 'pictures->blog->spare photos' folder since last July would finally get to be shown. So thank you Tara for reminding me of one of my favourite photos of one of my favourite locations. I can't wait to visit it again in a fortnight:
Lyme Regis, Dorset.

What a gorgeous picture x
Thank you, hopefully it does the location justice.
That's really scenic!
Thanks.
Lovely picture 🙂 xxx
Thank you, I'm fond of it.
Love the bunting, and the hint of beach/sea in the background. Have never been to Lyme Regis but my mum loves it so on the list of places to go some day…
Thank you, the photo was taken during a festival or regatta but I believe it stays up all Summer long.
How British is this picture? Beautiful!
It is isn't it? Just realised how appropriate the bunting is at the moment.
I love Lyme Regis, It's where I saw dolphins for the first time. Brilliant photo x
Wow, dolphins? I've never seen any down there but then I go at prime tourist season mostly.
Ooh I love Lyme Regis, and the bunting just sets it off nicely.
Thanks, it does add that extra holiday feel to it doesn't it?
Wow what a great shot! I love the glimpse of sea in the background! You're a bit good at this whole photography thing aren't you?!
Aw shucks missus, thanks!
That is a winning photo right there! I also chose a seaside photo . I like the flag colours and how you see glimpses of the red, white and blue in the buildings too. Lovely
Thank you. I love reading comments like this where someone has actually seen something I haven't in it.
Gorgeous, one of my absolute favourite places and a regualr day trip from Chez Mosler! I may see you there! x
It holds a really special place in my heart.
That is lovely! Very postcard like! xx
Thank you!
That really is a beautiful shot x
Thank you, I'm rather proud of it.
What a lovely picture, it looks beautiful there! I have never been but I want to go now! 🙂
Oh you must go one day. It's fantastic! Along to the right is The Cobb where they filmed French Lieutenant's Woman, and they have also imported tons and tons of sand from France to create one of the few sandy beaches along this stretch of coastline.
