thanks for the nice replys . yes it is a beutiful location , it is even better in the winter when we have the storms hit , if you stand inside their is a metal grate and you can hear the sea surging up the shaft. just along the cliff from their, is a place called blowing hole and when it is rough the water blows out of the top of the cliff , going to have to get a few pics of that soon. the first pic has been photoshoped and i did add the lens flare , thought it made it abit more interesting .

I've seen pictures of this location before, yours are well composed and presented. I'd love to see it in person some day!
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
