#cot valley

Sands of gold by Pete Rowbottom Via Flickr: It was about 4 years since I had been at this location, tucked away down a small lane lies this amazing beach at Porth Nanven in the Cot Valley, last time I was here the tide was right in and the light wasn't great so I was hoping for better this time around. On the trip I only visited here once and the light certainly played ball this time, also the tide being out allowed for more of the beach features to be included this time and also for the sunlight to cascade over the sand and rocks, I managed a few differently composed shots from this location this evening, this one being one of my favourites, this is definitely one of those locations you could visit every night for a month and come away with something unique each time. The island in rear are known as 'The Brisons' and (although I honestly cant see it myself...), they are said to resemble General Charles de Gaulle lying on his back.
