This is a digital painting effect from one of my original photo of Looe. The Looe Lugger Regatta is a two day event and takes place every two years and many luggers return to Looe to race in this fabulous event. The views are fabulous as the luggers can be so clearly seen arriving and also heading down the river to race. At the end of the racing they return to moor for the night and it is lovely to wander around both West and East Looe to look at them.
View at sunrise taken from Hannafore in West Looe looking towards Looe island. The popular fishing port of Looe is situated either side of the River Looe and Looe island is just a short distance out to sea and occasionally can be walked to at very low tide. Looe island is also known as St Georges island.
A lovely view of Looe on a misty morning just after sunrise. Nelson the one eyed Seal was a popular visitor to Looe Harbour for over 25 year. The seal took up residence on Looe island and would swim over to the harbour to entertain and be entertained by tourists and locals. After Nelson died in 2003 a bronze sculpture was commissioned and created by Cornish scultor Suzie Marsh.

The little ferry boats travel to and fro across the River Looe between the West and East sides of the river. This saves a walk around across the bridge and is fun to do for just 50p a ride. Taken at the end of the day as the sun sets.
Cornish luggers race in the two yearly lugger regatta held at Looe in Cornwall. On this occasion the first day was very foggy but the sun came out on the second allowing the racing to go ahead. A popular even when these beautiful luggers return to Looe from all over the UK and abroad
Millendreath Beach and Bodigga Cliffs in Cornwall taken at sunrise. Sometimes known as Black Rock beach after the well known rock there and the cafe and resort. This view is taken from the walkway and this part of the beach is only accessible at low tide but very beautiful.
