One of the great places along the south west tip of the Cornish penninsular is Porthleven. It gets brutally pummelled by high seas in wintertime as it faces straight at the Atlantic and there is nothing to stop the full forces of the winter storms hitting the village and storm watchers have recorded pictures of waves dwarfing and engulfing the church at the foot of the pier seen here in right of the image. I was here in early Nov last year and spent a day walking along the coast to Mullion before taking a couple of busses back to Porthleven where my car was parked. I arrived in the golden hour and had a chance to shoot some lovely warm images of the harbour, the coast and surfers just beyond the harbour wall. I hope you like them.
Cambridge Youth Ballet Company are in their final two weeks of preparation for their forthcoming performance of The Nutcracker that will run in Hinchingbrooke Performance Centre on the 26th and 27th Oct. I saw some of the rehearsals this morning and it looks like it’s going to be another amazing show.
So I just read back through my reflections on 2018 and my thoughts and plans for 2019. I can’t believe this year is already six months old. I have been chasing my tail perhaps more than I have in the past couple of years. The beginning of the year saw three long haul trips to Turkey, Oman and Johannesburg. Each was fun and had new adventures – I got to visit Soweto and Nelson Mandela’s home in the township.
I have recently returned from a trip to India. My first visit. We travelled the tourist path round the Golden Triangle starting in Delhi, and then Agra, and Jaipur. This is the from a visit to the largest mosque in Delhi.
