Brian + H & H
Inner Man
For those of you who follow my ramblings here on Flickr you may recall I recently uploaded a shot of Mother Ivy’s Bay. Well I made the mistake of mentioning it would be an idea to make a return visit as many of you liked the location by all accounts.
So Mrs P and I rocked up at said location following a very nice late lunch at a posh hotel in Newquay (so posh it had fruit on the sideboard yet no one was poorly) guess what, Mother Nature decided to cover my foreground rock plus the whole beach with the incoming tide, how terribly inconsiderate of her.
So my good lady and I retreated to a cliff top position where Mrs P found a suitable seat. Now Mrs P can be quite a force of nature when ruffled, but even with all her powers she could not get the tide to recede.
So what is the old photographic saying, “you just have to photograph what is in front of you”. So thinking on my feet, (I know my pay grade doesn’t allow for thinking) I ferreted around in my camera bag for inspiration.
In there I found a tin which looked a bit like where you might store a small digestive biscuit, on opening, it actually contained a piece of very dark glass complete with cobwebs. Well in for a penny in for a pound.
So I blue tacked this piece of glass to the front of the camera, went back and sat with Mrs P while I left the shutter open.
While I waited, between us we did the supermarket order for the coming week, both of us muttering away about how much food has gone up etc, the problem is it leaves less for falling down fluid and as my good lady’s dear old dad use to say “got to feed the inner man” first.
Order complete, I got up and let go the shutter with this being the following result.
This is the lifeboat station at Trevose Head that houses the all weather Tamar class lifeboat “Spirit of Padstow”, we have the greatest admiration for all the volunteer crews up and down the country who go out in all weather conditions 24hours a day, 365 days a year putting their lives on the line to save others.
Thank you so much for looking at my photos, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.
