So I've moved. I'm now about fifty miles away from where I was and some things are different and some are the same. I'm still Quite Tall and I still have legs that should never wear shorts but very occasionally do. I'm still enjoying being outside and taking pictures too. However I'm living in Cornwall now.

For various reasons, namely missing family and friends I have returned back to my home area and reside in Penwith, the most westerly part of Cornwall, excluding my previous haunt that is. I feel like I've moved from one beautiful part of the world to another. In the last few months I have been reacquainting myself with some of the old walks I used to be dragged around by my parents as a still fairly tall child and discovering a few new places and experiences too.

 

I have been snapping away at beautiful scenes, destructive storms, birds (surprisingly!), the odd gravestone and a manner of other things that have caught my eye but didn't really feel like I had a purpose or outlet for them. Time to reincarnate Quite Tall Max.

 

 

 

 

I am then faced with the task of trying to find a reason to write and snap and what would be the purpose. I then decided that I should maybe try to show you why I chose to come back here and why after trying quite a few times to relocate, I always come back. It would also be good to illustrate why when staring at a vista or landscape with someone 'not from round here' I have to bite my lip and hold back uttering 'it's not a good as in Cornwall'....

So that's what I'll do. The things I like down here shall be the things I photograph. If I manage to photograph them to a tolerable standard then they shall appear here and I shall try to explain why I like them. Simple.

 

 

Cornwall is an astonishing place with a little more depth than cream teas and a funny accent and I do hope to illustrate that fact. I'd like to maybe show some people what is on their doorstep and others why it's worth a visit and maybe even persuade a few people to go and have their own mini adventures.

 

 

If this doesn't appeal then I think the results of the Eurovision are on at the moment. You could watch that instead I suppose.....
