From a walk on the coastpath cliffs yesterday, looking towards Boscastle and Tintagel castle beyond.

#cornwall #coastpath #LandscapePhotography

In the foreground, some rolling fields sloping downwards from the left to the right, with deep sloping valleys between them. A figure is walking away from the camera on a pathway worn into the grass of the fields, the low sun picking out textures of ridges in the fields. Beyond is a view of the headlands and cliffs stretching down the coast, each promontory having an rocky island of its own. A misty blurring of the sea and sky forms the horizon, with a blue sky above some low white cloud.

Then Try This

Hello! We never did a proper #introduction.

We're an #OpenSource and #NonProfit #research, #design and #development organisation, based in #Cornwall in the UK. We actually care about stuff, and mostly work on #environment, #climate and #social projects.

We're all a bit #generalist, and many of our projects are rooted in rural issues, rather than being city-centric. Always open to collabs.

Most of us are on here: @nebogeo @amberfirefly @yaxu @cassandreces and @kanderson_rs

Grid of 6 photos of people, including Dave Griffiths (director), Amber Griffiths (director), Alex McLean (Research Fellow), Julieta Arancio (Non-executive director), Jane Sutherland (Non-executive director), and Karen Anderson (Non-executive director). Everyone is smiling, at least a little bit, some look kind of quizzical.

An expansive view across green fields in the Tamar Valley towards Dartmoor in the distance. A cold, clear morning.

Generally referred to as King Arthur, this sculpture is actually called Gallos (from the Cornish for 'power') and is supposed to represent something more all-encompassing at the clifftop site of Tintagel where it is located.

#Photography #Tintagel #Gallos #KingArthur #Cornwall #Sculpture #Art

We're on the top of a cliff with soil and flat rock making up the surface until it meets the edge a dozen metres ahead where short grass grows to mark the start of the sheer drop. Beyond the cliff edge there is flat, steel-blue sea to the horizon and the sky above is bright but streaked with hazy veils of cloud. Directly in front of us is a bronze sculpture with signs of weathering from this exposed position high up over the water. The sculpture is that of a bearded man with long cloak and a tight hood drawn up over the head, and a simple band of a crown over the hood to keep it in place. The man stands with legs slightly apart and hands resting on the pommel of a long sword with its tip at the ground. The sculpture has large gashes of material missing allowing us to see through the cloak and even the body of the main to the horizon beyond. The effect is that of a ghostly apparition not quite fully-formed but one standing guard over this place.

14th century window and some beautiful winter sun

A church window with small panes in a deep recess. Some of the panes are clear and others lightly coloured. Sun is streaming through the window at an angle, lighting up the whitewashed wall and casting shadows of the window.

This Wharf, Mousehole, illustration is done for the moment. I'm really happy with how it looks and also that it includes a street and the sea.
