Search & Rescue

By -
When you get into trouble on the Cornish coast, these are some of the people that will come and find you, no matter what the weather.




Most RNLI personnel are volunteers, so the idea was to also show their other jobs.







In the case of Commander Chris Channing though, he is full time at Culdrose

Tom Bawcock's Eve

This article appears in the December issue of Cornwall Today magazine  if you want to see it in its full technicolour design glory. Tom Bawcock’s Eve A merry place you may believe, Was Mouzel 'pon Tom Bawcock's Eve It's December 23 rd , very nearly Christmas, ‘Just two more sleeps, s o exciting!’ as my four year old informs me, at half past three in the morning . Later that day, in the warmth of the Ship Inn, Mousehole, glasses chink and holiday conversations flow. Outside, families stroll around the picturesque harbour, absorbing the village's famous lights as they twinkle in the gathering winter darkness. It’s a picture perfect portrait of a Cornish seaside village at Christmas. But there’s something more in the pub today, a subtle undercurrent of expectation, a buzz in the air, a reason the pub is so densely packed.

Of course, I had no time to go in, stopping only to grab this picture before sadly driving away, crushed, under the cursed weight of the First Law of Surfing. The First Law of Surfing states simply, that : The size and quality of the surf will be inversely proportional to your ability to get to it.

 What to put up on your wall Here at Cornish Seascapes we believe in putting a seascape print up on any wall space that's available!  But we would say that wouldn't we, so here's a few ideas from an amazing whole building design project we helped with, which was completed last year.    There were some very specific areas that needed an image, and having chosen a certain picture, the rest of the room was designed around colours picked from the photos Straight edged Aluminium prints fit well with the architectural lines.  The image is UV printed directly onto the panel which hangs flush  with the wall, so it doesn't protrude into the room. In a holiday setting it's also great not to have to worry about glazed picture accidents Seascape bedroom prints Wood framed larger XL panel, about 2m x 2m  For stairways, lobbies or hanging walls Colour matched bedroom interior  Large aluminium print from  Ocean-Image.com Wall hanging wave print for seaside ...
