Despite having travelled to New York, Hong Kong, Venice and other great places, my favourite retreat is still Fowey in Cornwall. I’m fortunate to have family in Cornwall and it has always been our little get-away since I was a child.

Though it is a place of natural beauty, especially if we’re fortunate to get some sun, it’s the quaint villages, bobbing boats and ruin remains that compel me to slow down and look around. For sure these quaint villages, bobbing boats and ruins have been photographed countless times before, but not to the point of exhaustion. There always seems to be another angle to look from; another moment to be caught as well as the views we never tire of. This haven that seems to have always remained the same is actually changing all the time.

Maybe these few images will show you what I’m trying to say.

Oh, incidentally, all these images were shot in winter.
