Cornwall has been battered this week. Rain and wind pounding relentlessly at our door. The sea has been whipped up into an angry frenzy. Rising up and smashing down. There has been plenty of damage.
In spite of it all, there is a raw beauty too. Looking down at Porthmeor yesterday afternoon, I was transfixed. The waves were easily twenty feet high. It was exhilarating to watch, my emotions mid way between awe and fear.
Today it is a calmer day, and cold. I think that we are in for more wind and rain throughout the week. We were going to go to Eden Project, but instead we are just about to jump in the car and drive to Mousehole. From there over the top towards Lands End and back along the coast road home.

I think you are right about the magnificent sights right now associated with the storms. Not good if you are adversely affected by them thought. I'd love to be able to see the waves first hand but never like some of these clowns spectating at the end of piers and risking being washed out to sea. Glad you had a good safe vantage point and hope you post more pics.

ReplyDeleteThose are awesome sights. Your photos are very evocative. Stay warm and dry.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pictures! I check the BBC news online every morning, and I can't believe how many times this winter you have been hit by storm and floods. I'm sure you are fed up with it. I hope you have a brilliant spring to make up for how it's been this winter!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you like everyone else in the country stay safe and dry! We are battling flooding here right now, so I can sympathise. xx
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are incredible too. We were glad we ventured over to Portland to see the waves with our own eyes. You don't appreciate the size and power of the waves. We too are saddened by the damage that has been done in all our favourite seaside locations.Sarah x
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. I think it would be quite scary seeing the waves so high, the sea is so powerful and the damage it does is frightening.Keep safe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sights amongst the chaos. Pleased yours ok. Hope you enjoyed your change of plan. Beautiful images. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteYes, it's been such a terrible winter so far. I've never known storms like it. My heart goes out to all those who have been affected by the floods. Glad you are safe. These are a great set of images demonstrating the power of the sea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos (but frightening sights). I hope your are keeping safe and take those pictures from the distance!
ReplyDeleteI left this open to show my husband your photos of those incredible waves ... he was suitably impressed. I do hope you and yours are keeping dry.
ReplyDeleteHow are you Leanne? Is the Spatone working for you? I do hope so x
These photos are AMAZING! You are really very good at photographing your local landscape. You caught those waves beautifully. x
ReplyDeleteWow! These are incredible - the waves and your photography. Your photography is getting more and more awesome by the day Leanne! Hope the weather has calmed down properly now and everyone can start drying out! Mel x
