The way home
Another visit to our favourite trees at Cookworthy Knapp a couple of weeks ago found me attempting to fulfil a request from my friend Katie who'd suggested I try this. She's not a photographer so her imagination is all the more wonderful for it.
These trees are iconic for the residents of Cornwall, who are forever taking snaps from their homeward bound cars as they speed back to the most south westerly point of mainland Britain. The trees were still just about visible in the gathering gloom, and balancing my wish to be able to pick them out as well as there being enough red tail light action from the westbound traffic was a challenge. The shot was taken from the bridge over the A30 near Broadwoodwidger - half a mile or so east of the trees.
I quite enjoy doing these shots now and again - this was the first for a while. Then again it was the first photography of any kind for a while. Winter is coming with a million opportunities along our windswept coastline.
