Whitesand Bay, Cornwall
Whitesand Bay is situated a few miles from Lands End on Cornwall’s rugged North coast, a very popular destination for water sports enthusiasts and moreso for people like myself who enjoy the natural beauty and peace of the location.
I took this image from the high ground above Sennen Cove looking down and along the mile long golden sands of Sennen Beach towards Cape Cornwall, some three miles in the distance.
The pink flowers in the foreground are Pink Seathrift and they grace the coast of Cornwall in early Summer, there were only about six people on the beach the day I was there and they were walking along the beach watching the Atlantic waves rolling in, so peaceful.

Richard Stanley
Wow – at first glance I figured it must be the south coast of NSW! Was not aware that you had such expansive and colourful beaches. A delicious photo Rod!
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you very much Richard, Cornwall has many such beaches and is popular with surfers from many countries, especially on the North coast where the surf is that bit more spectacular, this was a very calm day by normal standards,
Regards, Rod.
georgieboy98
You sure this is Cornwall and not Western Australia??? LOL A wonderful photo Rod that once again revives long forgotten memories from my previous life! I love the diagonal lines, the soft blue of the sky, the overall muted tones of the greenery and most of all the gorgeous foreground colour. I tell a lie! Most of all I love the view itself! Tainia has said what I feel. Great work old friend. Best wishes, Peter
rodsfotos replied
Hi Peter, thank-you so much my friend, I had taken this many times with other cameras over the years, most recently with the D100 but the extra detail from the D300 is quite amazing when I view it at full size, individual houses stand out clearly on the road from St. Just down to Cape Cornwall which is just below the skyline, pity they don’t show at this small viewing resolution,
Regards, Rod.

Lyn Evans
THUD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Collapsing into a heap…..I love this Rod…..ooooooh this is gorgeous….I can’t wait until September. Me and Brian walked along this beach two years ago and scrambled over the rocks to Whitesand Bay to watch the surfers. I want to do that again this year…weather permitting. lol
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you so much Lyn, the car park at the top of the hill was closed so my wife waited in the car while I spent a time admiring the view and of course getting a few photos of it, we went down to Sennen afterwards but there was a lot of construction work on the lifeboat station with two big diggers making a new slipway so that limited opportunities there, I do so hope you get beautiful weather in September,
Regards, Rod.
Ginny York

l am very envious of whomever owns that lonely little farmhouse down there near the beach ! what a beautiful spot, rugged yet so picturesque, great lead in to the picture with the pink wildflowers,a lovely scene :-)
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you very much Trudi, the little building near the beach is a Summer holiday cottage and it has been there as long as I can remember, planning laws today just wouldn’t allow it so it remains a solitary manmade structure near to the beach, lucky owners,
Regards, Rod.
David Clark
stunning Rod
- what a perfect early summers day -I would love to just be there in the cool sea breeze and take it all in—amazing photo – daverodsfotos replied

I have to go back Rod. Was there about35 years ago. can’t remember how beautiful it was and obviously still is. Amazing colours and wonderful composed with the flowers adding a different colour.
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you so much John, I’m so pleased it rekindled good memories for you, I know it’s a long way to travel but I’m sure you’d see many beautiful scenes like this if you made a trip to Cornwall, very little development on the coast in all the years I’ve been going there and the natural beauty remains unspoilt,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Kasia, I’m sure you hit the nail on the head with that similarity with the Hebrides, perhaps that’s why I find Cornwall so appealing as an alienated Scot, I would love a trip up to the West coast of Scotland to rekindle old memories,

Thank you Rod. Early summer (June) is usually our favorite period for visiting abroad. As you know, we have been to Wales for a week in June. Everything was perfect, even the weather (not too hot for the walks) :o)) Regards Michelle
rodsfotos replied
June should be a good time to go Michelle, I normally go to Penzance, just about 10 miles from Lands End, good eating Inns for an evening meal and the access to the most rugged parts of the coast is so easy from there.
St. Michael’s Mount is only a couple of miles away in the bay off Penzance with it’s ancient castle on the rock as a most interesting place to visit but there are so many more.
If you do decide to go next year, please drop me a Bubblemail and I’ll offer any help I can on places to visit,
Regards, Rod.

rightasrain
You know I was doing a digital painting in a forum online and the teacher (since thrown offline for theft) said the sea always had to reflect the sky, so the colour had to be similar. Well I thought about that and disagreed. There’s much more to it than just reflections. The sea is a miriad of beautiful blues and greens and darks and lights and the sky can be totally different as it is in this photo. I like it when seeming rules set by people, even artists, are broken. And I’ve never forgotten that lesson! :-)
rodsfotos replied
You were so right to disagree Hillie, the teacher probably based their thoughts more on text books than reality, a sky’s colours can reflect on a calm sea but the greens near the shore often come from golden sands below it as in this case, thanks so much for your thoughtful comment,
Regards, Rod.
