Corwall 2015 :: Ocean Light

Hello Lovelies,

thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my sunny holiday snaps.

I'll start this next instalment with a reality check :0)

This was Sunday....well, this is the British seaside..........

But, you know what, it wasn't cold and I kind of liked the change of mood.
The children still had fun in the waves.........

 And the colour of the Ocean on a rainy day, though muted, was still very beautiful.

It amused me to stand in the shallows, wearing a cagoule to keep me dry, but getting my feet very wet..........

Chapel Rock was brooding and dark............

 A seemingly constant presence....and yet much changed by the ocean in the last 100 years as seen HERE

 This vast expanse of beautiful sand is Perranporth beach....The rugged coastline looked atmospheric and dramatic...........

And then...the next day,  Monday, the sun was back and the same view looked quiet different..............

Once again I was paddling.........

And Hubby and the children were in the sea....somewhere in the crowds..........

Chapel Rock had a stream of visitors waving from it's summit..........

And the beach was full of families having fun..........

Sunshine and sand do go together perfectly....it's all I really want on a seaside break.

And when the sun does shine, the light is amazing in Cornwall.

These next photos were taken on an evening visit to Crantock beach....the memories of THIS evening visit 2 years ago made a return trip high on my list of things to do.

We arrived about an hour before sunset, to dramatic clouds and a stiff breeze blowing in from the sea......

How I love the sunlight reflected off the ocean and the silhouetted surfers.....

While I took too many photos the boys flew a kite..........

It was chilly and I couldn't imagine getting into the water, even in a wetsuit.........

Eldest braved the shallows a little.........

But my feet were staying dry for once............



I even retreated to the dunes for a while.........

It didn't give much shelter but I did love the view ............

And the golden light...........

The rugged cliffs looked extra dramatic, bathed in the evening glow.........

Let me zoom in a little so you can see...........

As I sheltered from the wind I played around taking photos from different angles........

Eventually the sun lowered and the light turned really golden..........

Time to return to the beach..........

To hang out with the boys and watch the sunset together.......

 

Middle son took a few photos of his own..........

And then the cold got the better of me. Goodbye Crantock beach..........

I hope we will be back again some day.
