Beyond the obvious

Minerals trapped in the rocks glow in the faint light penetrating the shadowy depths of a mine in Cornwall. The hot damp conditions must have been hell for the tin miners who worked these areas. We're so lucky to not have to endure such harsh and dangerous conditions in our modern lifestyles in the UK. Around the world others are far less fortunate. Cheers, Paul

The ocean and in particular waves breaking has fascinated me as long as I can remember. I used to sit as a child on the granite boulders of Cape Town staring out at the Atlantic as it pounded the coastline. Later as a surfer I got to know the joys of harnessing the power of the ocean as I sped across the steep faces of waves just like these. So there I stood on the Southern most point of Feurteventura, enjoying the experience and longing for my surfboard. I shot gigabytes of images to add to the photographic diary of my life. Cheers, Paul
