Isles of Scilly photos, Cornwall England

in photography •  7 years ago 

This is some of the photos I took with my phone while in the Isles of Scilly, a group of islands 28 miles off the southwest coast of Cornwall.

This is Green Porth beach, Tresco, the Old Blockhouse on the hill.

Really nice sunset

Wow, absolutely gorgeous, I had no idea you guys had white sand over there. Thank you for sharing! :) UPVOTED

There's white sand and palm trees but the sea is really cold, so that keeps a lot of the tourists away. The air temperature is usually warmer than other places this north of the equator, due to the golf stream. I've seen white sand on some of the Scottish and Irish islands as well.

nice shot, nice photography...
