I am at Mevagissey to get a couple of aerial images , its unfortunately dull,cloudy with a stiff breeze this afternoon but will endeavour to get a few shots. having walked around the harbour up on to the big grassy area on the right of the next image, I flew the drone out to take this 9 frame panorama.
Topdown image of the rocks below the cliff. and Yes it looks like a lobster !
Another 9 frame panorama just showing the cliffs just in front of me.
Time for a walk around the harbour now, always enjoy walking around here.
Lovely colours on the rocks, and the wind has dropped right down now so may be able to get the drone up again over the outer harbour.
Having walked right out to the end of the harbour wall, I set the drone up but there was too much interference from all the iron work so its a no go. maybe I can find a spot to fly from high up above on the headland. Climbing up the steps onto the lookout directly over the breakwater I have got a clear area to fly from.

Just caught a boat coming into the harbour, pity the light is rubbish today.
Tomorrow morning we are going down towards Porthcurno, the forecast is looking fabulous.
Its a hot sunny morning, and we have tried to park at the Minack Theatre car park, but they would not let us in unless we were going to see a performance!!! Driving around the headland down very narrow lane we have parked near Porthchapel , but dogs are not allowed on the beach ,so its a nice walk around the coastline this morning, then Lands end later.
Glorious beach, clear blue sky no good for photography but great for walking along this stunning coastline.
Mollster wants to go swimming, Arghhhh Noooooo not allowed!
We have walked around to the Theatre but can not actually see any of it, its all below the cliffs, Porthcurno beach looks amazing in the sun, but way too busy.
We are now at Lands End, Really warm but getting very windy so no drone today by looks of it. walking around and down to the point first, the Terrible Twosome want to get to the water haha
I have walked around to get an image of the arch, pity there is no cloud as a plain blue sky is no good
Poor Chester haha
Mollster wants Ice crème also!
You just have to take a pic of this :)
The one location that I really want to visit this holiday is the engine house at Botallack , so that is where we are heading for sunset, but first Sennen cove for chippy dinner .
This is the first time we have visited, its really beautiful and fairly quiet .
Tiny little fishing harbour
We have arrived at Botallack for sunset, clear skies and windy, no what I wanted . but should at least get some nice light on the engine houses. now walking along the cliff tops for a look around...
Chester doesn't seem to be impressed with this location haha
Jan is going to leave me to the photography, book reading in the car my guess :)
The Engine houses on the cliff side, a perfect sunset location.
Now to climb down to a decent level to shoot from, and its steep lol
Sunset is in about 35 minutes, time to find a safe low ledge to get a couple of good compositions. the wind is blowing straight off the sea, making long exposures a little harder to get sharp images. I am hanging my camera bag on the tripod hook to add stability. no drone flying again tonight unfortunately.
Looking behind me the cliffs are starting to warm up with the low setting sun.

The light is really nice now on the rocks and grasses in front of me, and still enough on the cliffs around the buildings perched on the rocks.
