Looking down on the beach at Porthgwarra, evidence that there has been a goo ground sea running with all the weed washing in.....
looking down on a gull looking down on a small flock of gannets on the lookout for supper......
one of the Runnelstone day marks contrasts with the heather and hawthorn landscape.....
Gwennap Head, one of the first National Coastwatch Institution watch stations to open in 1996, there is an appeal for volunteers to boost the number of staff at Penzance's lookout station.......
the NCI provides an invaluable watch keeping safety service to mariners around the coast now that the MCA (formerly the Coastguard) no longer man these lookouts.....
a collection of buffs and trawl floats from every nation by the look of it.......
