Picture Towan Head, Cornwall, and photographer Bill Mac, a man who has has just reached a place which is as far from home as he will ever be.
A man who in a matter of minutes will be plunged into the darkest of night and who must before that happens capture his picture,
the Twilight Time/ Zone.


Great picture Bill

Now a comment like yours makes me look again at my picture, I like the thought of Posiden rising from the sea.

Very nice picture. It's like you choreographed the clouds to suit your needs. The details are great. Especially like how you can see the shadow cast by the extra puff of clouds.

Nature certainly can conjure up some terrific images and if you are lucky you capture them, I was lucky here. Thank you for your comment.
