According to Arthur Hyde-Dendy, one of Paignton's great Victorian benefactors, Torquay was built entirely for the purpose of giving we Paigntonians something nice to look at. Torquay is, indeed, very photogenic.
This is a three image panorama of Torquay Harbour taken at 7 o'clock this morning. The early morning sun has yet to reach the boats in the inner harbour but illuminates the hill overlooking it. Later in the year, when the sun rises more to the south, the whole harbour will be so lit and it may well be worth returning to retake the shot. However, then the sun will rise an hour or two later so there will be more people about, fewer boats on their moorings and the big wheel dismantled for the winter so no reflection.

The wheel is lit at night so I may try for a night shot before it’s removed.
Incidentally, Corbyn's Beach, the subject of some recent posts, is in the left background.
Cheers,
