Wave splash, Portreath pier, Cornwall England

in photography •  7 years ago 

pier splash.jpg

The sea can get rough around Cornwall and Portreath regularly takes a battering. I took lots of photos to get this one. The monkey hut on the end of the pier was destroyed by breaking waves in January 2014. It's been rebuilt since then and painted white.

The monkey hut was used by pilots to shelter, back when Portreath was a busy harbour. I can't imagine feeling comfortable sheltering in that.

The history of Portreath is interesting. It seems like a quiet Cornish seaside village now but was once a busy industrial harbour. There's more information here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portreath

Spectacular waves! I would not feel comfortable in that monkey hut either with such a rough sea. You captured the action very well at exactly the right moment :)
