I was out on a shoot last week, which just happened to be at a secret spot which only works once in a blue moon. It was a rare sunny, blue sky winter's day with a light offshore breeze grooming the swell perfectly onto a cranking A frame bank.

Earlier in the year I photographed the Valentine's Day storm ripping apart Penzance promenade, even though it is constructed of two-ton granite blocks. The swells were heavy enough to break up the jigsaw construction and scatter hundreds of them along the shoreline.  Valentine's jigsaw destruction The blocks were recovered from the sea bed and craned onto the top of the prom where they have rested all summer, awaiting someone to come and replace them. Someone genius enough to unscramble the pile and rebuild this jigsaw. Storm damage to the old railings Jigsaw pieces So yesterday I went down with a camera to see how the crane and workmen have been piecing it back together over the past few weeks.  Each block has been measured Main keystones laid Flat blocks laid down between key stones and held in place with steel bars drilled through the block. Holes drilled in the blocks so they can be lifted  The engineers st...
