Cornwall Polly Joke and Crantock

 

I have got up early and walked down to Polly Joke beach to get a few drone images. The light is really nice and very little wind.  it is however due to cloud over , and i can see out over the sea in the distance it is already clouding over quickly.

The sea is a Fabulous colour .  Gull rock is just visible over off Holywell Bay in the background.

Here is a full panorama image , originally shot with 21 frames , but i have removed a few for composition 

                                                                     6 Frame Vertorama 

I have walked around the headland to view Crantock bay , a quick vertorama image before the cloud came over.   I will walk back to the van now as its going to be cloudy for the rest of today , but tomorrow i will take Ozzy for a photo shoot on Crantock beach.

The next morning it is blue sky , time for the long walk to Crantock with Ozzy.

                                                   All shot with 5dsr  100-400mmL 

A very happy pup :)

That was a great morning , the tide has come in a long way so i need to climb up the sand dunes now as the short cut up the steps is now under water .

                                           The way down to the beach Steps under water now!

The end of another great day in Cornwall.

Cornwall Holiday pt 2 Poppy Fields

Start of the day , Pancakes 

This morning we have walked down to the beach and are heading around the headland for a short walk.

The dogs had a swim in the stream after walking along the beach.

                 Looking across the beach from the path leading towards Penhale Point.

A Loveley sunset over the van tonight, but not over the beach where it is cloud free.

The next morning we are going to walk to Polly Joke beach , which it to the right of the Kelseys.  about the same distance as Holywell , 20 minutes.   There are Poppy fields on Pentire Head but they have finished flowering , But it appears there are still some in flower to see.

                               One of the many Orchids flowering in the meadows on the way.

The campsite at Polly Joke is in view , the Poppy fields are on the far side of the beach on Pentire Headland.

Climbing up above the beach we are in the poppy fields,   still plenty in flower but all the other plants have grown up around them.

Over the top and Crantock beach is visible , one of my favorite beaches  with a small strip of Poppys 

                          Back down on to Polly Joke beach now to give the dogs a swim.

                                   The water is crystal clear down here in Cornwall, Fabulous.

                        

                             A cottage garden full of Lavender on the way back to the campsite.

Tonight i will go back to the poppy field with my camera for sunset.......................

 

Arriving at the field, the small area that had the best flowers has had all the petals knocked off some time today!   There isn't a large enough area to make a strong foreground now as all the remaining flowers are well spread out.    

100-400 L 

        Isolating a single flower just as the warm setting sun illuminates the petals,  5dsr  100-400 L

Walking back down to the beach and i managed this image of a bird, beautiful rim lit against the dark background. 

The end of another day in Cornwall.
