Shimmers and Storms

Shimmers and Storms

The clouds were gathering over the sea, with the sun just shining through, when I took this shot at Church Cove, near Gunwalloe, looking towards Poldhu Cove, which is between Helston and Mullion on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall.
Taken on the 2nd October ‘08.

Thanks for looking.
Hope you like it.

    Gorgeous scenery Richard, I love Cornwall. We were on our way there in Sept when I fell and broke this flippin hip LOL..That was the end of MY holiday. I spent the rest of the week in a nice hotel called Torbay hospital. lol

  • Richard Veal replied

    Thanks Lyn. Glad you like it.

    I hate Torbay Hosp. Shame you didnt do it further back, as Exeter is much better. :-))
    Where were you on your way to ??
    We go to Cornwall every year. We dont like travelling far, as you may have guessed.
