I didn't know this was happening until I was woken at 7 o'clock this morning when two 40 tonne diggers started playing marbles with 7 tonne blocks of granite by moving them around the steel platform of a very big barge. What they're actually doing is depositing this 'armour stone' on the beach where it will be placed around the base of the cliff to halt erosion of the soft sandstone and, as my house is on top of that cliff, albeit separated from the edge by a railway line, I didn't mind the rude awakening one bit.
This is the first of an anticipated five loads which is being quarried and loaded at Penryn in Cornwall a day's sail away.

This is an inferior image shown for the context it provides. It's spoiled by having had to shoot into the sun and, while I did take five images for HDR, it wasn't a success so I chose just one and processed that:
