A Cornwall magical sunset

On my journey through the archives I'm now up to March 2006. I've not taken any sunsets for ages, but back in 2006 they were one of my favourite subjects, and here is one from March 2006 which was one of my favourites...

On a walk along the Camel Trail near Wadebridge I came across this robin which seemed to like posing for photos...

The Cornish mountains, the Claytip Range, are home to Cornwalls Piskies, and as you can see from the photo even with our mild climate there is still snow on the upper slopes in March. You can read more about them here

There's something about Cornwall.....
or more exactly the North Cornwall Coast where we get wonderful sunsets across the Atlantic ocean, like this one from November 2005...

...taken from the clifftops at Bedruthan Steps, one of my favourite spots for catching great sunsets.

I'm back in the archives again, looking through November 2005. Apart from great sunsets this month was also great for moonshots...

In fact most of the month was quite mild for the time of year and I had some nice days out including a trip to Truro where the late afternoon sun created a lovely golden look to the cathedral...

...and the sun warmed up a lovely Sunday afternoon in Padstow...

...but a sudden change in the last week of November 2005 brought some uncommon winter scenery to the Cornish countryside...
