Spring was in full bloom when we hit the Cornish coast and the cliffs were laden with wild flowers. One of my favourite things to use as foreground in my landscape shots are wild flowers. They provide endless shapes and colours to create some foreground interest.
There was a thick cloud cover as we reached Britain's most southerly point. I was really hoping for a break in the clouds and as we climbed to the top of Lizard point we saw this clear horizon. One cloud see exactly where these stormy dark clouds were ending and light peeping through the horizon. Quite a dramatic setting.
A bracketed shot at the cave located next to Porthgwarra beach which is a beautiful little beach in Cornwall. One of the very few beaches in Cornwall that is not overflowing with tourists. @eyeseesurs got the opportunity to play Lara Croft in real life. This tunnel, leading seawards, is the fishermen's access to the tidal 'hulleys' built in the rocks to store shellfish. The 'hulleys', which ceased being used about 20 years ago, had wooden floors and topcovers with trapdoors and were used to store shellfish prior to taking the catch to market once or twice a week. A second tunnel was dug by tin miners from St Just to give farmers horse-and-cart access to the beach to collect seaweed to use as a fertiliser.
