Helman Tor 5/3/12

I'm only just exploring landscape photography.
Cornwall can be a grey county, lots of grey stone & grey weather.
Waiting for the light can be frustrating.
Learning to wait, & not be to disappointed when it doesn't happen is a good lesson to learn.
Not one that comes naturally to me.
The Tors of Devon & Cornwall are the igneous roots of an ancient mountain chain long eroded.
They are like the jutting vertebrae of the regions spine.
I love the way the thorn is growing close to the rock & the contrast it gives to the image.
Cornwall juts into the Atlantic & the highest points have no protection from the weather regardless of direction.
Growing from a crack in the rock it could be sixty or more years old & only four feet high.
One to visit again.
