"Sunlight Between Showers" Wolf Rock Lighthouse, Atlantic Ocean

Classic Cornish winter weather. One minute we were blanketed in thick sea fog, then drizzle, then showers and then intense sunlight before repeating all over again.

Wolf Rock lighthouse stands 14 miles off the Cornish Coast and is a crucial navigational mark before ships either head for America or round to port to find sheltered anchorage in Penzance or Falmouth.

We sat on the cliff edge, warm but our outer clothing dripping with rainwater. At one point we were bathed in sunshine but drenched with rain at the same time.
The horizon was busy with shipping and the inshore waters were dotted with tiny fishing boats.
