Godrevy Golden Sunset
A particularly striking sunset encouraged me to detour from my route home and head west instead. In all the glory of golden hour, a large bank of feathery clouds was being illuminated by the sun, showing off all the many textures and tones within the sky. Arriving at Godrevy, a gorgeous sandy beach lapped by the Atlantic, I raced against time to capture the amazing colours before the sun fully dipped behind the horizon and set up my camera on the edge of the cliffs. It was heading towards high tide so only pockets of sand remained as the sea crept higher below.
Adding a vibrant seasonal flourish to the image, a pink blanket of sea thrift sits in the foreground and contrasts strikingly with the dark rocks below. Blooming throughout spring and early summer, these pretty little flowers are an iconic part of the Cornish coast and this was my first opportunity to photograph them here – making this image all the more special for me. Also featuring the famous Godrevy lighthouse in the distance, there is a strong sense of place within this frame, capturing a unique moment and seasonal take on a much-loved location.
