With the impact of Avian Flu, this could so easily be a rare site in the near future.

The Crowns are two engine houses perched on the edge of the spectacular West Penwith cliffs. They were once part of the mighty Botallack Mine and are now one of the most recognisable mining landmarks on the Cornish coast. www.cornwallforever.co.uk/places/the-crowns

Sunset from Lands End

Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland

This is the fifth and final of the processed photos from my recent workshop on Achill Island on the Atlantic Coast of Ireland.

As with the others, I did the composing and shooting but the workshop leader did the processing of the RAW images by way of demonstration of various techniques.

This is similar to the first of the series in that it was shot in the same place but the light was different as can be seen on the coastline in the background which had a burst of sunshine when I took it.

A beautiful afternoon on the cliffs at St Agnes

Looking towards the Rumps and The Mouls

Back from freezing Tasmania to a chilly Ourimbah — progress I guess. The good thing about winter is Spring is only three months (and about 93 layers of clothing) away!

I’ve started sorting through my mountain of Tassie beach shots in chronological order... at least until my attention span wanders off.

Here’s Beach #2 — Beaumaris Beach, a 4km never-crowded stretch of the picturesque Tasman Sea Coast.

Time to start catching up on everyone’s feeds and see what photographic wizardry I’ve missed while I was off battling frostbite.

Thought for the day: When I was a kid, I believed in fairy tales. Now I just listen to political speeches.

Thanks for any comments, they are all genuinely appreciated.

Another Sunset at Botallack

This pic is back on the Bouddi coastal track. Well, more precisely, off the track. Wanna come join me hop over the edge, scale down the cliffside to the little grassy platform for some fantastic views looking along the cliffs instead of down on them. It's a different perspective at the bottom; it feels more real for some reason. And this grassy area was just inviting us down! Don't worry, if a rogue wave happens along its just a quick scramble up for some immediate elevation out of harm's way :)

Have a great Easter weekend everyone!

Long exposure captured at Kynance Cove at Sunset

At least we have happy shepherds in Cornwall tonight. Possibly one of the best sunsets I have seen for a long time. The sky resembled lava from a volcano.

Mallacoota, Victoria

A more of a picturesque view of Land's End as the calm sea of the Atlantic Ocean gently teases Edny's Dodnans Arch and The Armed Knight. The Longships Lighthouse watches over the seas, protecting sailors from the treacherous rocks.

A bit more of Little Beach before we shuffle on to the next coastal curiosity.

I love rocks. Let’s talk about rocks — because really, what’s a beach without a generous scattering of ancient, grumpy, foot-stubbing hazards? Each one is a tiny geological memoir: belched out of a volcano, squashed under mountains for a few million years, tumbled through oceans like nature’s own laundry cycle … only to end up here, sunbaking and waiting for some barefoot human to discover them the hard way. What a life these long-lived marvels have had!

I hope you have rockin' Sunday!

Peace at Enys Dodmans Arch at Land's End with the Longships Lighthouse

Desperate to get out with the camera, I hobbled to Mevagissey Harbour. Parking on the quay seemed to be the best option as my knee is still strapped up. With flat cloud cover and the occasional shower, finding a decent composition was tricky. Ok there is a harbour full of fishing and lobster boats, but it is trying to get a composition that is just that little bit different.

Cape Cornwall and it's iconic stack, looking out over the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. As part of its centenary celebrations in 1987, Heinz purchased Cape Cornwall for the nation and presented it to the National Trust to look after. This prevented Cape Cornwall falling into the hands of private developers. Shame the same could not have happened to Land's End.

Apologies for the overload of Trevose Head Lighthouse photos but whilst I was walking around the headland I hurt me bleddy knee. At the moment I aint going know where for a few days.

Sunset at Wheal Coates, St Agnes, Cornwall

Portloe is a small village in Cornwall, England, on the Roseland Peninsula, in the civil parish of Veryan. Portloe harbours two full-time working fishing vessels, the Jasmine and Katy Lil, which fish for crab and lobster in Veryan and Gerrans Bay, and a fleet of smaller leisure boats in summer. Wikipedia

Captured from Chapel Porth Beach, Cornwall. Chapel Porth Beach is a small sandy and pebble cove at the bottom of a narrow valley on the North Cornwall coast. At low tide the beach extends to an excellent wide beach which is popular with surfers. Note that the sand at Chapel Porth is completely covered at high tide. The coast path can be walked to St Agnes Head for spectacular views. On the coast path the Wheal Coates mine can also be visited. www.cornwallbeachguide.co.uk/northcornwall/chapelporth/ch....
