Best of the Rest - Photography Week 40 & 41 (2016)

These are a selection of images taken during photography weeks 40 & 41 (3rd to 16th October, 2016) which were not included in previous posts:

Rock studies on the seafront in Falmouth are one of my favourite subjects - as I have mentioned in a number of posts.

The low tide reveals the rock formation which provides the basis for the rock studies:

Falmouth Docks

The viewing area for Falmouth docks is high on a hillside. There is always plenty of activity with large ships receiving maintenance in the dry dock. On this occasion one of the ships had been fitted with a protective blue tarpaulin skirt:

Truro Cathedral
