Photographers are drawn to Cornwall, UK for its wild coastal landscapes. I visited Lizard Point (the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain) during the summer four years ago but did not manage to get the pictures I was looking for as the weather was too mild! The wilder weather (we had to take refuge in the cafe there to avoid a shower of hailstones) we experienced this time round finally granted me a chance to capture some of the drama the area had to offer.

I am back from a short one week trip to the UK. Making full use of the four days before we were scheduled to attend a work symposium, my brother and I made a photography-intensive journey through scenic Cornwall. The weather in the UK is only starting to warm up as we enter spring. The weather changes provided a dramatic backdrop to our travels as we braved rain, hail and sunshine on our photographic quest. The above picture was taken in Charlestown in Saint Austell Bay just after a shower of hailstones hit us in the early morning.
