Clovelly: Bob Scott took this picture of where you could see the old fishing quay that can be traced to its origins back to the 14th century as do many of the cottages and buildings in Clovelly. This is a working fishing village and whilst much of the income may now be derived from tourism, fishing still takes place here. In common with much of this coastline smuggling and shipwrecks were common place in the old days

I don't know why, I've been photographing weddings for more years than I would care to remember, this sums it up for me, the light, the action, the sounds, it,s all there...

I do love weddings

You wait for ages for a domestic duck to go broody - and then three come along. All trying to sit on the same clutch of eggs.

A low tide visit to Clovelly gave me a fresh view of this little harbour.
