Porthmonia Cove is a little known, secluded bay on the West Coast of Cornwall. A few minutes from Rosemergy (where there is a brilliant tea shop), this beautful, rugged cove is hidden behind an old tin mine shaft head. Following a path down the slope towards the hills, you find a place where kestrels fly in the sky, a climbers brave the cliff faces. This is a brilliant spot for some sunset photography as the bay fills with light. It is especially nice in August when the purple heathers are in full bloom.
The affectionately name "The Rumps" at Polzeath in North Cornwall. The headland here is called Pentire Point, however they also have a far more amusing name, The Rumps, for obvious reasons. This is a beautiful walk on a summer evening, watching the sun drop on the horizon while waiting for the golden light to fill the bay. I personally preferred the afterglow, that purple and pink light, after the sun had set.
Sometimes the sky is the performance, the landscape the stage. I am just happy to be in the audience. Lindesfarne Castle is a National Trust site, well worth a visit. Seen here from Seahouses.
