I like the first one.  That is, indeed, one rocky coastline.

Julia and I had a 10-day trip to Brittany from which we returned last Sunday.  
The weather was cool, but sunny with only a couple of days of rain, sporadic 
and that.  It was a great break and refreshed our love of France and of 
Brittany in particular.

We took the ferry from Portsmouth, on the south coast, to St Malo; we stayed for 3 
nights in hotels and 7 in a cottage followed by a last night in a hotel in Dinan.  I 
can recommend this part of the world for a visit; we had excellent food and wine and 
the scenery is delightful.  It’s called the Pink Granite Coast and we 
recognised the same granite from our holiday in Sardinia about 10 years ago.

Here’s an example of the granite:

And another view of the same “phare”:

Another coastline, but at sunrise:

I’m happy to receive criticism etc . . .
