The photos today are of Portmellon and the narrow coastal road. Follow the road left up the hill and you will reach the popular village of Mevagissey.
It's perhaps hard to imagine that there is a sandy beach under all of those waves. In the summer there will be people enjoying the sunshine and launching small boats from the slipway.
Gorgeous sea photos Mike! As you say, the sea should be respected at this time of year, but it's wonderful to watch :))
ReplyDeleteThanks Prue. Yes, the sea has to be respected. Can be so dangerous in Cornwall.
DeleteGreat images of the strength of the sea, glad you kept a safe distance.
ReplyDeleteThanks David, we often hear of people getting into difficulties on Cornwall's coast. But, like Prue has said above, it's wonderful to watch the sea and the waves.
DeleteThe seas are definitely restless at the moment Mike - I stood on Penzance promenade on what I thought was a safe spot after carefully watching the wave pattern and boom a wave landing just beside me! Best to keep well away - great photos though :)
ReplyDeleteI was only nearby these waves as we were visiting friends at Portmellon. They have views over the sea from their windows. Thanks Christine.
DeleteI have always wondered if you experience rough seas and now I know! I think I’m accustomed to your photos of calm harbors and cliff views. These shots are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe waters can get very rough at times. It's one of the reasons why we need that air ambulance helicopter and lifeboats. - people do such silly things and sometimes don't realise how dangerous the cliffs and sea can be, Thanks Ann.
