Gorgeous.

Honestly, I'm beginning to think you are taking the p*ss and are just posting photos that you have download from those revolving screensavers that are made up of beautiful/stunning photos.  You know the ones I mean. If not, (and I  know you're not really  :P) you should definitely think (as I've said many times before) about entering your photos into competitions or local photography exhibitions.

I've asked you before but I can't find the post, what camera do you use and do you use a tripod? I'm currently on a 6 week photography course and have learnt a lot but not had much chance to take photos outside of the course yet.
JJ  :)

I've decided now I've got a new printer which takes really low cost inks I'm going to pinch all your pics and make myself a calendar without the dates just so I can hang it up and choose a pic whenever I feel like it. A smile a day. There!  :P

Love the two versions of Portreath. There are all great but that purple sunset is especially lovely.

no idea why there are 2 pictures. Special offer 2 for the price of 1 ? No more this year, camera is very poorly. Tripped and dropped it, in an effort to break its fall I stuck my foot out and drop kicked it down over the rocks. My son is taking it to see if its beyond repair or out of reach of my wallet.

I regularly do that with nuts & bolts in the garage. Now if I drop something, I just let it go & make sure I watch where it ends up so I don't spend an hour hunting for it.

My favourite is the one with the sunrays coming down on the water.  I believe they are properly known as crepuscular rays, but a countrymans name for them is 'the eyes of god'.

That massive wave is great. Were you one of those people who were told not to go to the seafront in those gales but went anyway? Hope your camera can be mended.  :)

He was probably one of the people they told to put that Surfboard back in the van, and don't be silly! :D

Steve if I was twenty again I would have had to get in and give it a go. You just can't help yourself at that age. It would have been two fingers at anybody that said you can't,and sneaked in round the side. ;D

Where I lived in America there was a hurricane and two people were killed looking at the sea. My mother was convinced I would be one of them! I do love the sea when it's stormy. If adults make the choice to go near massive waves then it's up to them as long as they don't expect someone else to rescue them if they get into trouble but I do hate to see adults putting children at risk. I have seen a clip on TV where a child in a pushchair was nearly blown into the sea. That is tantamount to neglect.  >:(
