Cornish Sunset, Waves on Fire and Cliffside Flowers

08 Aug

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.

    Fiery wave images are spectacular – you have a real artist’s eye.

    A lovely time to be out and about. The necklace of purple against white and the lighting up of the sea show the power of the setting sun.
