French and Dutch trawlers passing Land's End


Pulled up high on the inner harbour at Sennen Cove...


the port's punt fishermen take a break from fishing late on Sunday afternoon...


the redundant Roundhouse and Capstan is now a gallery for local artists...


and provides a place of rest for one gull at a time...


one of the classic Cornish views on the coastal path walk from Sennen, looking over the top of the Black Widow rock towards Land's End...


away in the distance the Scapeche deepwater trawler Corail built in Concarneau passes the Longships lighthouse on her way back to her home port of Lorient...


after steaming down from the west coast of Scotland...


the wreck of the coaster MV Mulheim is a reminder of how dangerous the coastline is in these parts for unconscious watch keepers...


another passing boat, this time a Dutch beam trawler heading home after fishing in the Bristol Channel...


Land's End is always a good spot for cloud-watchers.
