Stormy St Michaels Mount- Monomad Challenge
Hail to the Hive!
After leaving an organised Gin Tasting session at ‘A Pocket Full of Stones’ in Penzance, we made our way to Marazion to literally blow off the inebriation cobwebs.
It had been an early afternoon gin session that had left us a little tipsy a little too early in the day. With Storm Agnes starting to lick the Cornish shoreline we were met with blustery winds and brooding skies. It was all very refreshing. It felt intoxicating but then we were actually intoxicated so I guess it would really 😁.
We were feeling that booze hunger you get so we grabbed some Cornish pasties and hastily wolfed them down to appease the hunger and soak up the considerable amount of alcohol we had already consumed. They had been very generous at the tasting session earlier and we we’re definitely feeling it.
The combination of comfort food in our bellies and strong refreshing sea wind in our faces left us with an exhilarating sensation of good feeling and well being. The views were moody and spectacular, reflecting the inbound energy of the incoming storm.
I was feeling stoked and spent my time snapping away shot after shot as I jumped down to the rocky beach and back up again to the viewing platforms with now broken and defunt telesscopes erected in the past for tourists to spy at St Michaels Mount.
I quite liked their derelict look and decided to include them in the shots and was very happy with how they turned out.
Cornwall really is a special place and it hasn’t disappointed as it has so much to offer. It’s pretty amazing and yiu can see why the Cornish don’t identify as English. It really doesn’t feel English at all.
Many thanks @brumest . Nice to be back 😃
Perfect for blowing away the gin cobwebs
Absolutely!
Looks like a movie scene scuba. eerie, did you see Hitchcock, the movie maker , not the Bay.
I don’t think I’ve seen it. Have you ever watched Key Largo with Humphrey Bogart? Almost every scene could be frozen into an amazing b&w photo. Maltese Falcon as well
Oh, no I have not seen.
I've always fancied going to St Michaels Mount, need to get there .... sometime
It was really revisit cornwall and do some different stuff and also revisit place again after so long. I want to go back immediately, ts just magical
What kind of camera are you using these days? In the past it was the iPad I think right? Nice shots (pictures, not the gin).
Thanks @daveks ,I still use an i pad but these were with an old i phone 8. I was really happy with these shots....and the gin ;)
It works, keep doing it!
Haven't had a T&T in ages..
It's been nice to have something to photograph again and spark that creative urge. I have quite a few images to plow through yet. And a lot of gin, plus a coffee tequila liqueur mmmmmm
What beautiful photos!!! The harmony of white, black and gray colors is excellent
Thanks. With views like these its hard not to take a half way decent shot. The sea foam , clouds and rocks beg for black and white too.
A lot of drama, a lot of magic!... You are a master on black and white dear @scubahead friend!... Thanks for sharing!... Big applause!...
