As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Excellent composition. I really like the way that the line of the quarry leads the eye into the infinite distance of land and sea.

What a great spot. How old is the quarry?

@Sarala: I honestly have no idea Sarala, the rock is Jurassic in age (200 - 145 Million years ago), and as far as I'm aware, the quarry has been operational since Victorian times at least!
