Chapel Porth, September..
I think I’ve mentioned before that we had an incredible September weatherwise here in Cornwall and with the summer tourist season over and most children back in school, the beaches were deserted.
These two girls were certainly making the most of this unusual freedom. A whole beach on which to play with mum and dad always in view. The sort of day that lifetime memories are made of. Click on the image for a sharper, clearer view.. :-)

Their gestures are perfection, against the expanse, it’s lovely.

Wonderful soft light, and the splash of bright colour to lead or eyes in….nice one!

Thank you Tina. It was so lovely to see these youngsters enjoying the beach so much, running and skipping and dancing around. :-)

Wonderful photo. I love the space and tranquility.

Thank you very much Bente. This was a particularly fine late summer morning with the tide out, the sun shining and the beach so empty, it was lovely. I’m glad that I’ve managed to capture that mood. :-)

Thank you Edith, the girls really made the picture! :-)

A beach to themselves. Everyone’s dream. Lovely photo.

Thank you very much Lignum. Even on this very crowded little island of ours, it does happen occasionally. :-)

Very lovely, Chilli. The human figures add a touch of perspective and tell a story that might otherwise be just another landscape shot. :)

Thank you very much Gunta. I usually avoid people in my landscape shots but on this occasion, as you say, they create a narrative and make the picture.
October 26, 2014 at 8:23 am
Beautifully seen.

Thank you Bill!

I really like the feeling of freedom and potential in this image; partly down to the inherent space but also the colour combination.

Thanks Noeline! :-)

How marvelous for this family. You’ve captured their unbridled glee. I want to be there too!
October 26, 2014 at 12:14 pm
Thank you Elena! I was a lovely day to be on the beach! :-)

loved the wide calm view :)

Thank you again Joshi. When the tide is low at Chapel Porth, several smaller beaches become one huge beach and you can walk for miles.. tide permitting of course.
October 27, 2014 at 10:04 am
Wishing I was on that beach too, Adrian! It looks idyllic.
October 28, 2014 at 8:55 pm
It is a special place to be when the tides are right Karen.. :-)

This looks like one of those glorious days when the light is ever so soft and slightly dreamy. Ideal for this type of shot, Adrian. (shouldn’t they be in school!)
October 29, 2014 at 9:09 am
Thanks Andy, perhaps not the little one but then again, as I said in the post, these are the kinds of days that lifetime memories are made of, we can maybe forgive them a day playing hookey to enjoy such an experience and the beach makes one helluva classroom.. ;-)
October 29, 2014 at 9:24 am
A wonderful shot, Adrian. I can see that they’re really having fun. :)

Thank you so much Sylvia. They certainly looked to be! :-)
