Landscape Pictures
When we arrived, the windy conditions at St Ives, Cornwall made photography tricky. I had to be wary of the sand particles being blown into my camera while changing lenses. At the same time, the strong winds of up to 55 miles per hour made standing and even hand-holding the camera a definite challenge. The surfers that we encountered on the beach had a fun time on the other hand, enjoying the strong waves brought about by the extremely blustery conditions.
The weather we experienced in Cornwall on our latest trip was one of the coldest and wettest in all the trips I have made to the region. We were fortunate to get a day of relatively good sunshine (in between taking cover in our rental car from the spells of strong winds and rain). Arriving at Sennen Cove, we were impressed by the strong waves crashing into the coast. I thought the lighting was just perfect to capture the power of the waves exploding into the rocky coast.
I made a return trip to Wales earlier this month having last visited four years ago. One of the places I made sure to revisit was Llynnau Mymbyr in Snowdonia National Park. The nice thing about this place is its accessibility — compared to many scenic spots which usually involves long hikes to get to, the spot where I took this picture was literally a short walk away from our parked rental car.
