RobL said, I just find the very narrow lanes into Port Quinn a bit nerve-wracking when it’s busy.

It's the way the road disappears beneath the front of the car that gets me. You only see how steep it is when it reappears
and you are hanging from the seat belt!
Did you meet any of the local spiders? They are enormous!

Talking of potheads, a member of my Rotary club was stopped at the airport, returning from Amsterdam, by the drug sniffer dog which apparently made it quite plain that he was suspected of having cannabis. He denied all knowledge but was taken away and his bags were searched. Nothing. He was searched. Nothing. Whatever, the dog remained insistent and agitated. The policeman asked, "What job do you do?" "I'm a vet", said my friend. "Oh. That explains everything", said the policeman, "She absolutely hates vets!" Mike has since passed on, bless him but he would be pleased that his story survives.

Port Quinn is the next inlet west from Port Isaac (crowded out these days thanks to the Doc Marten series).
It can provide a range of photographic opportunities, especially from the headland on the National
Trust property of Doyden House. Great walking and few people!

1. Totally isolated with just the odd walker and maybe a Kestrel for company.



2. Empty, almost private beaches at low tide, only reachable by sea and footpath.



3. An island called the Mouls can be relied upon to produce a nice scene or two.


4.



5. And the sunsets just keep happening.


6.



7. Doyden Castle can produce a lot of drama

9. But for goodness sake, don't fall in the water!



K1 with either an FA 80-320 or an A series 50mm macro (great for conventional use).

I recall the last time they played with this idea and left things as they were. It was dark. Most of the morning was dark. Car accidents rose horribly because the ice wasn't melting. Depressing, depressing, depressing!

I did just what Steve described. Your daughter, at the foot of the image popped an extra bit of sparkle into a lovely image.

Lovely set of a super location (just keep well away from Port Isaac!). My vote would go to 5 and 6. The sunsets from here are often spectacular. The "rock" that Gareth mentioned is called The Mouls and, according to the weather and circumstances lends itself to all manner of shots. It's quite a sizeable island. I'll root a couple of pictures out to illustrate both points. Is the coast path location Port Quinn?

Curious there are no comments! The whole of these makes a wonderful record of a fantastic place to live. I particularly like the mono ones.

1 and 7 also. The whole set evokes the lovely smell of wet, autum leaves.

Give Mrs L our best wishes and keep her safe.

And a very nice cliche with a very under-rated lens. They are so poorly thought of you can get them for peanuts. Well done for proving their worth.
