Whiskery swimmers ignoring large headlands, or views from them? (9)
I believe the answer is:
seascapes
'views from them?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'whiskery swimmers ignoring large headlands' is the wordplay.
'whiskery swimmers' becomes 'seas' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ignoring' suggests deleting specific letters.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'headlands' becomes 'Calpes' (Calpe is an example).
'calpes' with 'l' removed is 'capes'.
'seas'+'capes'='SEASCAPES'
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for seascapes that I've seen is " Maritime paintings".)
