Description
This is a view from the Lizard the most southerly point on the British mainland, from my recent trip to my native Cornwall. This was taken just under the lighthouse.. And will be the start of a small series of images from the region. All taken on a wild and windy day..
Since 1751 there has been a lighthouse on Lizard Point, warning shipping of the dangers of this beautiful but treacherous coastline. Just offshore are the Man o' War rocks. Below the point is the Old Lifeboat House. The present lifeboat station is a few miles east of the headland. On the 10th November 1721, thirty years before the lighthouse was built, 15 of the crew of the Royal Anne Galley lost their lives when the vessel was dashed against the cliffs in a storm. They are buried in a mass grave on Pistol Meadow, the grass slope just west of the Old Lifeboat Slipway. Walkers in this area may be lucky enough to see the Cornish Chough, now breeding in the area.

A beautifully tumaltuous shot. The crashing, dashing waves, the sturdy and jagged cliffs, the soaring birds and the foreboding,foggy mist - its all so vibrant and alive.
