St. Materiana's, Tintagel

Tintagel church, originally uploaded by Cap'n Maj Bloodnok.

This 11th-12th century church sits on its own near the cliffs at Tintagel in Cornwall. I wanted to try to emphasise its isolation and to introduce a slightly dreamy, ethereal quality.

I managed to get several decent pictures from a recent trip to South-West England, so I thought I'd post them over the next few days.

This was taken in the late afternoon at Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. After what had been a pretty nice day, the weather took a turn for the worse and we arrived to cold, wind and rain. Not perfect for a trip to the seaside, but it does at least make for a dramatic image.
