| This headland near Porth Joke is owned by the National Trust and the farm is managed using traditional methods which encourage natural flora and fauna to grow. The poppies, which require disturbance to germinate, and the corn marigolds flourish here as must have been the case before modern agricultural practices eliminated scenes such as these. A cold sea mist rolled in just after sunrise (very early at this time of year !) and lasted just long enough for a series of unusual but successful images before the Summer sun burnt it off. |
