Neist Point

The first time I visited this location I was taking shots in gale force winds on the cliff edge in poor light.
The second time I visited, I had driven for around an hour and when I arrived I felt that the conditions were looking promising for a stunning sunset. As I moved to grab my gear from the boot I realised that I had forgotten all of my kit!
Third visit, didn't catch any decent light.
Fourth visit, slight improvement but nothing overly decent.
Fifth attempt, did a u-turn en route as the weather conditions really deteriorated before I arrived at the location.
Sixth time (this image) finally managed to capture the golden light on the cliff but I'll be back again next year hoping for a slightly more interesting sky.
I composed the scene to include the grasses and rocks on the cliff edge to (hopefully) help convey a sense of depth.
