Whitesand Bay, Cornwall

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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,

    Hi Rod, if I had to sum this image up into just word, that word would be WOW !!! xx JD

  • rodsfotos replied

    WOW! is more than I could ever hope for Joyce, thank-you so much my friend, every time I go there I always stop here at the top of the hill to enjoy the view before going down to the beach and cove,
    Regards, Rod.

    Wow! That’s an awesome capture. Such rich blues and greens and think the seathrift adds well as a contrast.

    Thank-you very much Phil, just love that part of the Cornish coast,

    What a wonderful view and shot. Could almost be on a Hebridean island:-)

  • rodsfotos replied

    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,
    Regards, Rod.

  • rodsfotos replied

    Thank-you very much Bettina, it does get a bit busier on the beach in high Summer, but perfectly quiet in late May when I took this one,

    Beautiful shot of Cornwall, Rod. You give me ideas for a future travel. My fav.

  • rodsfotos replied

    Thank-you very much Michelle, I’m sure you would realy enjoy a holiday in Cornwall, it is very much reliant on goood weather and early to Midsummer is normally best before things get too busy with tourists,
    Regards, Rod.

    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.

    Truly superb, especially with that lovely touch of flowers in the lower part of the frame as a nice addition!

  • rodsfotos replied

    Thanks so much again Hillie, I always stop to admire this view when I’m in that area, the pink seathrift grow in abundance all along this part of the coast
    Regards, Rod.

    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.

    Hi Rod, how nice to see such beauty you are blessed with on your side of the world, hope you are doing well, and still recovering. Seeing this I can feel the breeze flowing up from the cove, and that tiny little farmhouse sure add perspective to the distance shown here. So refreshing! Best regards Carolyn

  • rodsfotos replied 1 day ago

    Thank-you very much Carolyn, it’s taking a long time but slowly I’m getting stronger, I just have to be sure I don’t overdo things yet,
    Regards, Rod.
