[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
shot from the beach at bigbury on sea, the island in the distance is known as Burgh Island, and the large white building is the Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel.

At low tide the island, only 200 m from the shore, may be approached on foot. At high tide, the Sea Tractor operated by the hotel provides a ferry service.

Burgh Island is closely linked to Agatha Christie, as it served as the inspirational setting for both 'And Then There Were None' as well as Hercule Poirot mystery 'Evil Under the Sun'. The 2002 TV adaptation of 'Evil Under The Sun' used the island as a filming location. Several scenes from the BBC’s 1987 dramatisation of Christie’s story 'Nemesis' were shot in the Burgh Island Hotel, as it was felt that the location was ideal for the film. In 1994 an episode of the television series Lovejoy was set and filmed on the island. It was entitled 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'.

Other famous visitors to the Burgh Island Hotel have included The Beatles who used the hotel when they were playing a concert in Plymouth, well away from their passionate fans. Noel Coward visited the hotel, intending to stay three days and ended up staying three weeks. Other guests who have reputedly used the hotel include Edward and Mrs. Simpson and it is said that Eisenhower and Churchill met there in the weeks leading up to the D-Day invasion.

Hello Derek, I know this place quite well, and you have done a lovely job here.I like your POV with the seaweed covered rocks in the fg.
The hotel and the inn stand out in the sunshine.
The last time I was here at the beginning of July, it was very wet and quite cold...
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Derek,

Beautiful colours

Hello Derek,
I like the history you've captured in this photograph, I can see all of the different scenarios you've outlined in your note being shot here, it wouldn't surprise me to see Hercule walk into the side of your frame.
Lovely composition and POV, the green weed, beach, rocks and sea make for an interesting visual contrast to the white Hotel standing majestically on the hillside.
Lovely capture.
Regards
Peter

Jolies couleurs et bonne netteté.
