The Old Lizard Lifeboat Station, Cornwall

Thank-you very much Bela, appreciated my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Raphael,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks Krys, the wildflowers around the Lizard were a delight to see, we were so lucky with the weather as well,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Dawn, I have never seen the sea so calm and flat at the Lizard before, good to get the sunshine while we were there though,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Donna, the wildflowers were at their best when we were there, I have a couple of shots with them in that I will post soon,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Rosie, I am fortunate to live in such a beautiful area, Cornwall in particular is a favourite location for me,
Regards, Rod.

Hi Tom, thank-you very much indeed my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Hello John, thank-you so much my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Lynda, the detail does show better viewed larger with my aging eyes, LOL.,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Diane, Lands End is the most Westerly point of the UK mainland, the Lizard Peninsula is about 20 miles East of it but around 15 miles more Southerly at the Point, geography lesson over, LOL.,
Regards, Rod.

I’m sure you are both looking forward to the trip Catherine and I do hope the weather holds good for you, I haven’t seen it as calm as it was the day I took this one, thank-you so much my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Cheryl, appreciated as always my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Joe,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Denise, there are so many colourful wildflowers on the cliffs around the Lizard Point, it looked so beautiful when I was there,
Regards, Rod.

Looks like you’ll be driving down on your own then mate, thanks so much Richard, I hope you both have a wonderful holiday on the Lizard,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Ken, hard to believe it when you see it so calm but the conditions can be horrendous for shipping here during a storm,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Sandra, the rugged Cornish coast has been shaped by thousands of years of exposure to the full force of the Atlantic Ocean, if only it was always this calm and sunny,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much John,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Jacqui,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Catherine, many visitors go there because it is the most Southerly point in the UK, almost like a pilgrimage but it’s beautiful along that rugged coast and worth the trip for the scenery,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Evita, appreciated as always my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Keith, I’m sure you would find a trip to the UK most enjoyable and an experience to remember,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Barbara, I’m so impressed with your latest images from your Sedona trip, keep them coming,
Regards, Rod.

Hi Bevan, thank-you very much indeed, I do so enjoy my trips to the rugged Cornish coast,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed Dave, there is a memorial garden for the crew of the Solomon Brown just off the road on the way into Mousehole and I have stopped there on several occasions to pay my respect to the brave lost crew, as you well know, the Atlantic is rarely as calm as it was on the morning I took this image,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Jacquei, I wouldn’t like to hazard a guess as to the number of vessels that have been wrecked on Cornwall’s coast over the years, the smuggling is a lighter subject and I’m sure it still goes on today,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you most kindly Kathy,
Regards, Rod.

Good morning Ann, thank-you so much my friend, the weather has taken a turn for the worse here, heavy rain but the gardens need it even if we don’t,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Peter, yes the little gift shop and tearoom is still thriving, I didn’t walk so far on this occasion, just about as far along the coast as you can see in this composition then after a welcome cuppa we went up to the lighthouse and a short way beyond it, a bit too warm for walking on that day,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Kim, I believe coastal compositions show Cornwall at it’s best even though there are so many delights in the rural parts of the county,
Regards, Rod.

I had been hoping for a bit more wave action than there was when we were there, I’ve never seen it so flat calm as this before, thanks so much Trudi,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Cynthia, I do hope you manage a trip to Cornwall this year, I wish I could go there more often even though it’s only a couple of hours away, just finding the time can be tricky,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Jens,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Daffo, there are normally big waves breaking on the coastline at the Lizard Point, I have never seen it as calm as this before, the lichen and wildflowers growing on the cliffs do add so much colour at this time of year,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Paul, doubtless you’ll come to Devon with the camera, you’ll find lots of interesting subjects and compositions around the waterfront in Plymouth alone and the old Barbican area of the city is a photographer’s paradise with the harbour and ancient narrow side streets with their ancient buildings,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Joyce, so kind of you,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Nat, so good to hear from you again, I trust you are keeping well,
Regards, Rod.

Good to hear all is well Nat and you’re keeping busy, yes all is well here my friend thanks,
Rod.

Many thanks again Sonia, the lichen and many wildflowers on the cliffs added so much colour all along this stretch of the cliffs, the whole of the Lizard peninsula (Some 14 miles long) is so rugged and beautiful,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much John, it is always a pleasure to receive your kind comments, the last time I was here the wave action was a lot more spectacular but it was good to see it on a calm Summer’s day for a change,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much John,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Chris,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Luda, so much of Cornwall is like this with lots of space to walk in the fresh air and very few built up areas,ideal to get away from the bustle of city life,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks again Hans, we were fortunate to have had such a fine Summer’s day for our visit to the Lizard point,
Regards, Rod.

Many visitors go to to the Lizard Point because it is the most Southerly point on the UK mainland and are pleasantly surprised at it’s rugged beauty on getting there, it is a place I never tire of visiting Henri and I’m sure you’d enjoy it too, many thanks my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Carol, it was good to get such fine weather on our visit to the Lizard Point even though I’d have preferred a bit more wave action against the rocks to add natural drama to the image, no pleasing us photographers is there?, LOL.,
Regards, Rod.

My hat’s off to you for the voluntary work Shaun, good that there are still people like you who care about the environment, many thanks my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Hi John, many thanks my friend, I wish I’d taken a few more close-up images of the rocks when I was there, the wildflowers, moss and lichen growing on them were so colourful,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Lyn, I have never seen it so flat calm at the Lizard Point before but the bonus of the many Alpine flowers on the cliffs made my day,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks again Lois, using a tripod does give that edge on detail, I sometimes use a small sturdy minipod that fits in my camera rucksack if I’m walking a long way,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks PA, your visits and kind comments are much appreciated,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Fino, very kind of you,
Regards, Rod.

The sea can be treacherous at the Lizard Point though it looked so calm when I was there, many thanks again Juergen, much appreciated,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much again Malcolm, we all see different compositions as photographers when we visit a location, never undervalue your own work my friend, you are doing just fine,
Regards, Rod.

Wonderful news again Irene, this has made my day so special, thank-you very much for featuring the image,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Don and I’m so pleased that you were also featured in the group, us Scots have to stick together,
Regards, Rod.

We try to get down there in late May when the wildflowers on the coast are at their best adding that bit of extra colour to the scene and were fortunate with the light and weather this year, thanks so much Steve,
Regards, Rod.
