Kite-Flying on Watergate Bay

My writer's cottage for a creative week spent in Cornwall, October 2018

Small Sea-cave at Mawgan Porth
Continuing my exploration of the coast around the writer's cottage I had rented for the week, I took a wander around Watergate Bay...

...and there I unfurled a small kite and cast it to the Cornish winds :)


My kite in the Cornish skies - its string
appearing here like a vapour-trail

Having communed with the elements, and the salt air having invigorated my spirits, it was time to head back to the cottage for the evening...
