The Lizard - Photography Week 10 (2016)

This is a set of photographs taken last year at  Lizard Point in Cornwall. The series starts with images of a sea stack called Bumble Rock and then the view towards Marconi's Bungalow (1) which sits on the cliff above Housel Cove:




The conditions were mainly bright for the visit with cloud building from a south-westerly direction often blocking the sunlight but occasionally breaking to highlight the cliff face. A shower was captured moving across the horizon near to Bumble Rock followed by two views of the old lifeboat station at Lizard Point:




As the cloud intensified attention turned to the shards of sunlight on the horizon:






Finally, the sunlight was lost for the evening with this final black and white conversion capturing more threatening conditions:

The Lizard - Photography Week 19 (2016)

We spent a very pleasant sunny afternoon at the Lizard, walking along the cliff path and enjoying the wonderful spring wildflowers. The thrift was particularly vibrant:




Colour on the cliff face:







Bluebells, three cornered leeks, thrift, pink and sea campion on the cliff top:











Polpeor Cove and the disused lifeboat station - obviously taking account of the many warning signs!
