I took this on a recent trip to Brighton, and got up early so I could catch some cool light, and the dynamics of what was a very rough sea… well… comparitively. Brighton Pier is one of the classic 19th century piers in the UK, amusements on the end, kiss me quick hats for sale and so on… Black and white has given the picture an edge over the colour version….
Taken at Weymouth, Dorset in Spring 2007 / Photographer: GlennB / Glenn Bauer of Wiltshire, England A large number of these had been released from their pen by activists under cover of darkness the night before. I found this one a little apart from the heard just chilling in the gentle Atlantic waves off Southern England’s coast.

It was a cold day and the tide was far out meaning that parts of the beach that are usually cut off by the tide were accessable and I could walk a mile or so along the beach from the car park to reach this spot.

It managed to shield me from the gale force winds for a while if nothing else.

The rest of the painting is from my imagination. Watercolour on two rivers, hand-made 140lb paper. / 14” x 21”
Another in the Masters series. / This is the centre part of a long panoramic watercolour. By Thomas Bush Hardy, 1895. I’ve moved some of the boats to be closer together, as my version is a small painting, 10×7 inches, on rough Bockingford tinted cream paper, 140lb. I will be painting the full length seascape in the future.
A wider view of Lands End, the most Westerly point on the UK mainland, looking towards the Lands End Hotel perched on the rugged coastline with the Antlantic Ocean crashing on the cliffs below. I took this image around Midsummer, just before sunset when the light is at it’s best for this kind of composition. The small suspension bridge, centre left, crosses a ravine or inlet on the rugged coast and you can look directly down to the waves crashing spectacularly from it, it is known as the Bridge over the Atlantic.

Mersea Island, the most Easterly populated island in the UK, may not be renowned as a photogenic location, but, standing here at East Mersea, with the gently flowing seawater lapping against the tops of the wellies, with the line of posts so obligingly composed, and with the glorious colours spreading across the late afternoon sky, it was possible for a moment or two to believe that this was the most beautiful place on Earth. Canon EOS 5D and EF 16-35mm lens. Exposure of 30 seconds at f/13.
www.flindtphotography.com Porth Nanven is probably one of Cornwall’s most enchanting but least accessible locations. Perhaps it’s because the National Trust, the owners of this precious and geologically unique piece of coastline, would prefer that the numbers of visitors were kept to a minimum. Whatever the reason, don’t be surprised if you find yourself embarking on a circuitous route around the back streets of St Just as you make your way down to this remarkable place. Canon EOS 5D and EF 16-35mm lens. Exposure of 5 seconds at f/16.

I’ve just returned from a most enjoyable holiday in Cornwall and hope you will enjoy seeing some of the beauty that the county has to offer the visitor. This composition is taken looking Eastwards from near Pendeen lighthouse on the North coast, as I walked down the track and past masses of bluebells and other wildflowers, the view along the rugged coast looked particularly beautiful. A sheltered golden beach with nobody on it, the rugged coast and the Atlantic breakers were our only companions, perhaps you can understand why I choose to spend many of my holidays in Cornwall rather than going overseas.

During my recent holiday to Cornwall, I was going down to Cape Cornwall, a few miles East of Land’s End on the North coast. It was a beautiful late afternoon and on the way down to the Cape I looked over to my right and was delighted to see five highland cattle grazing, my immediate thoughts, as a Scot were, you’re not the only Scot in Cornwall. In the background the Headland is know as Kenidjack Castle headland, you may just be able to see the ruins of the iron age fortress Kenidjack Castle high on the headland, well it certainly stands out viewed at the full resolution, PLEASE VIEW LARGER Nikon D300 / 18 – 70 zoom @ 44mm / F11 for 1/80 sec / WB set to Sunny / CP Filter
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.

The Botallack mine was part of the St. Just mining complex that mined the hard rock for black tin and copper for centuries. Many generations of Cornish families were employed in this dangerous industry till the stocks of black tin and prices for the ore made it unworkable. Situated a few miles from Lands End on the rugged North coast of Cornwall, this image is of the Crown Engine Pump House which was at it’s peak in the early nineteenth century, the main shaft from it, the Boscawen Shaft reaches under the Atlantic Ocean diagonally for some 800 metres, most of the other mine pump houses are situated on the cliff tops high above this one. The promontory that the engine house is sited on is Crown Rock, the seam of black tin ore is very visible in this image just above sea level. though the many different colours of ore are also visible on the rocky headland. There is always a lot of wave activity in this rugged cove, even on a fine Summer’s day like this the Ocean is very choppy and I wanted to capture the wave action as well as the detail on the mine and cliff so quite a number of exposures were tried.

Lands End is the most Westerly point on the UK mainland and much visited for that fact and for it’s rugged beauty. / The Atlantic ocean has shaped the cliffs over countless years and many ships have been lost against these treacherous shorelines. I took this image in May 2009, looking towards the first and last house in England and some four miles behind it is the promontory Cape Cornwall. It was a beautiful calm early Summer’s day and the pink seathift adorned the clifftops like a natural garden. / / Nikon D300 / 18 – 70 zoom @ 22mm / F11 for 1/125 sec / White Balance set to Sunny / CP Filter PLEASE VIEW LARGER

When I was down on the Lizard peninsula in late May, the Alpine wildflowers around the coast were a delight for the eyes, looking from the Lizard Point towards the headland with the Lizard lighthouse on the skyline. / The Lizard Point is the most Southerly point on the UK mainland and enjoys extremes of weather conditions throughout the year.
