Glorious, Tish! That silvery cream of sea in the first shot is seductive, and the second one with a silhouette puts all in perspective: old man and the sea. Thank you for digging these gems up.
So your dad was a Cornishman. Newquay is quite a tourist haven and especially for surfing. It’s a dramatic part of the Cornish coast. Another spot for the bucket list perhaps.
His nickname in the RAF was Jan, after the term Janner, which although strictly not of Cornish origin, as it referred to someone from Portsmouth, it was close enough for the blokes in the Mess.
I often call him Jan when we speak on the phone and it always gets a laugh.
Beautiful images, Tish 🙂
Looks like the waves a bit intimidating…
Thank you, Sreejith. The waves were quite stormy, but made foamier that day by a consignment of detergent escaped from a cargo boat 🙂
So sad to see it happening all around the world…
Beautiful beaches been spoiled by oil spills and incidents like these, right?
You just have to love a place with the name Port Wrinkle 😀
Don’t you just!
It’s a good one, isn’t it. And it has such wrinkly looks – rocks and waves 🙂
Detergent! Really? I think the spume and foam in the seas around Cornwall are always like that. Great photos.
There had been some spillage nearby. At least that’s what we were told by someone who’d seen it on the local news.
Love those views, Tish
Thank you, Sue.
Love the name, Tish. Lovely seascapes, but I’m sure it was quite chilly down there. 🙂
Indeed. The wind was very icy, but bracing too with all the bright sun.
Beauteous!

Dad was born in Cornwall – Newquay. Another place I never visited, would you believe?

Two dramatic shots – especially like the 2nd one for its hues and clouds that look like the land that time forgot ps are you holiday there?
We were there in December so amazing skies for that time of year.
December drama no less 🙂
So BEAUTIFUL!
Wow! Fantastic job!
