A ruined engine house on a clifftop path under a fiery sunset sky

Cornwall,
in every light.

Photographs of the coast, its engine houses, its gardens and the night sky above them.

The same stretch of shore never looks the same twice. These are the mornings, storms and still evenings worth stopping for.

Where the land runs out.

Sea stacks, surf and storm light along the Atlantic edge.

Sea stacks standing on a wide sandy beach with lines of surf beyond
Bedruthan Steps at low tide
Dark cliffs and sea stacks in rough water at dusk
A lone rock stack in clear turquoise water
A wave exploding over a dark rock ledge
Surf breaking around rocks under an orange sunset sky
Wet sand reflecting the sky beside tall rock stacks
Sun rays breaking through storm cloud over a beach
White surf swirling around a rock, seen from the clifftop

The wide view.

Three stretches of shoreline, end to end. Drag any of them to look along it.

Closer in.

Dahlias, hydrangea and glasshouse exotics. Colour at arm's length.

A crimson and white striped dahlia
A sunflower in full bloom
Pale blue hydrangea petals filling the frame
An orange and blue bird of paradise flower among large leaves
A bright red dahlia with a dark centre
A pink torch ginger flower
An amber dahlia with a red centre against dark leaves
A white daisy in dappled sunlight
A white lighthouse on an island seen through summer grasses and wildflowers

One light, always on.

Godrevy Lighthouse, through the summer grasses.

What the miners left.

Engine houses on the cliffs, in sun, in fog and in long exposure.

An engine house fading into thick fog at the end of a path
A stone engine house against pink and blue evening cloud
Looking up at an engine house and its red brick chimney
Arched windows of an engine house framed by a stone opening
Two engine houses perched on rocks just above a deep blue sea
The Crowns, Botallack
An engine house beside a coast path above the sea
Black and white long exposure of an engine house above smooth surf
An engine house on a slope with lines of surf rolling in below

And then, look up.

The Moon, phase by phase.

The full Moon in sharp detail
The Moon at first quarter
First quarter
The waning gibbous Moon
Waning gibbous
The Moon at last quarter
Last quarter
A thin crescent Moon glowing deep orange
Crescent
A half Moon in a deep blue daytime sky
The Moon rising above the dark outline of a stone ruin

I'm a Cornish photographer. Most of these pictures were found on long walks along the coast, in the company of my pack of six schnauzers.
