Gweek (Cornish for forest village) is at the head of navigation of the Helford River, about three miles east of Helston in the west of Cornwall. It has been a port since Roman times and was a thriving port in the Tudor period with its own Customs House. During the mining boom, a tin-smelting blowing house operated at the quayside. In 1848 it was reported that: "The pilchard-fishery is carried on extensively, 200 boats being employed in taking the fish, which are cured in the various creeks and coves within the limits of the port. In addition to the fishery, the chief trade consists in the exportation of copper-ore, corn, moorstone (presumably granite), and oysters, and the importation of timber, coal, and limestone." Gweek is home to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors. More than forty grey seal pups are rescued each year. The aim is to release them back into the wild having given them the best chance of survival.
That location was used for the cult Soviet detective TV-series en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Meeting_Place_Cannot_Be_Changed, where two policemen was hunting on the criminal gang called itself "Black Cat"... by the script the gang's headquarters was in the cellar of this house, and the location is seen in one of the very last movie scenes with the gang members arrest.
Earlier this year, I hosted a workshop in Valencia and couldn't return home, due to snow in Ireland. I made a trip to Barcelona to meet up with friends for a few days and revisited this location. I photographed it back in 2009, it was always one of favourite photographs but I was intrigued how I might reshoot it with fresh eyes and equipment...
Hội An, formerly known as Fai-Fo or Faifoo, is a city with a population of approximately 120,000 in Vietnam's Quảng Nam Province and noted since 1999 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Old Town Hội An, the city's historic district, is recognized as an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century, its buildings and street plan reflecting a unique blend of influences, indigenous and foreign. Prominent in the city's old town, is its covered "Japanese Bridge," dating to the 16th-17th century.
