The rugged coastline at Land's End is spectacular although the best shooting points are limited due to the fencing off of dangerous areas of the sloping cliff-face. Still, it is a sight to behold and we were really glad that we managed to make it to the westernmost tip of England.
It was time to head home via Mousehole and a short stop in Penzance where we had a quick glimpse of St Michael's Mount fading away in the soft evening light. We decided to stop for dinner at Polperro before heading back to Portwrinkle. We needed to have a good rest as an early morning departure for Heathrow was on the books.
At 3:00am we were all packed in the car and we set off along the narrow lanes into a thick fog. Visibility was only a couple of metres and this was the moment we were really thankful for Ramon's Garmin! We were quite sure that our driver was too!
On the flight back home I suggested that we should hold a collective exhibition of our take on Cornwall and discussions are under way with a gallery. We are really thankful to Ruben for making all the necessary contacts, driving us to our destinations most of the time and for organising the whole thing to 'near' perfection! He was indefatigable.
We're not so sure he'll be the one in the driver's seat the next time round...but that's another story!
There are 37 days to get ready for The Societies of Photographers Convention and Trade Show at The Novotel London West, Hammersmith ...
