Cornish Sunset, Waves on Fire and Cliffside Flowers

1   Yesterday, after I had posted, we went to the North Coast at Chapelporth for a walk as the sun was setting. The colours were wonderful, the setting sun lighting up Wheal Coates with a glorious glow.

2   As the sun was slipping into the sea, the light was catching breaking waves, creating the illusion of the sea being on fire.

3   Walking back from the cliff edges, the purple and pink heathers and the golden gorse were still lit by enough light to show their beautiful colours.
