A simple picture (the title says it all) but perhaps not without charm….taken at low tide at Trebarwith Strand, North Cornwall on a Casio QV-3000EX compact and colour balance, brightness etc tweaked in Serif PhotoPlus.
The original photograph was taken at Bowness-on-Windermere, Lake District, England. This is an attempt to isolate the elements which originally attracted me to the scene – the form of the jetty, boat and reflections and to a lesser extent the perspective.
A partially toned picture of daffodils on the banks of the river at Altarnun, Cornwall, taken in January. Global warming?
Three young sparrows have just left the nest and seem to be egging each other on to take the next step… Pentax K 10D.
The derelict remains of this old watermill in Rocky Valley, Cornwall. The picture is partially sepia toned.
The cliffs at Willapark near Forrabury, Boscastle, North Cornwall on a March day. The white building is a former summerhouse, now used by the National Coastwatch Institute as a lookout. The South West Coast Path passes nearby.
Folded sedimentary (?) rock layers at Millook Haven, near Widemouth Bay, North Cornwall.
Photo taken near Pentire Head, Cornwall.
A sky- and landscape near Hawker’s Cove, Camel Estuary, Cornwall in May. The weather is changing and the oilseed rape is beginning to flower.
These flowers (some type of crocus? daylilies?) emerged in mid May in North Devon.
Magnolia (grandiflora?) in the late spring sunshine.

A surfer at Fistral Beach, Newquay, Cornwall. / Pentax K 10D, 1/1000 sec, f 5.6, ISO 200, 200 mm lens.
Taken near St. Breward, Bodmin Moor, North Cornwall. This is a typical scene around this time of the year (July) where these wild ponies congregate. The foal was very young and fell heavily while trying to follow its mother across the ditch (behind it in the picture) just before I took the shot. Annoyingly the subjects in the original were a bit soft (though I’ve done my best with the software), hence only on sale as cards. / Pentax K 10D, 1/800 sec, f 7.1, ISO 200, zoom set at 180 mm.
Part of the cascade at Golitha Falls, near St. Neot, Bodmin Moor. / Pentax K 10D, 1/50 sec, f 5.6, ISO 400, 50 mm prime lens, flash fill-in.
Pentax K 10D, 1/320 sec, f 5.6, ISO 400, zoom lens set at 150 mm.
The road bridge at Lydford Gorge, West Devon. / Median photo: Pentax K 10D, 1/13 sec, f 3.5, ISO 100, zoom lens set at 18 mm. HDR image, 3 exposures, 2 ev apart.
This spectacular waterfall in Lydford Gorge, West Devon, is 90 ft high (the photo only shows a portion of it) and is so called because the legend says that if you fall into the river but see a lady dressed in white standing in the fall you will not drown! / Median photo: Pentax K 10D, 1/20 ec, f 7.1, ISO 100, zoom lens set at 18 mm. / HDR, 3 exposures, 2 ev apart.

This church in North Cornwall is famous for its association with Thomas Hardy. Before he became a famous poet and author he was an architect, and in 1870 was assigned to survey this church prior to its restoration. While there he met his future wife, Emma Gifford, who was the sister-in-law of the vicar. This church owes much to his efforts, as it was in a terrible state before he arrived. There are many similarities (and some differences) between his real-life circumstances and those in his book “A Pair of Blue Eyes”.
This church is situated in a very isolated spot near the cliffs of North Cornwall. It dates from the 12th century, but there was almost certainly a church on this site in the 10th century dedicated to St. Gennys or St. Genesius. There were many such holy men who came over to Cornwall from Wales and Ireland in the first millennium – they would set up in such a spot near a source of water (for baptism as well as nourishment) and hold services in the open air. They would often live as hermits, and in time the water source would become a “holy well” of which there are many in Cornwall, one being located very close to this church.
