biscuitsalive, it used to be better during the stormy ⛈ season, because the grockles were back up north... And that’s unfortunately changing now...

Ah, good ol' Porthleven. It always looks sort of dour there, in fair or stormy weather. I saw a piskie there once on that road that leads out to the pier/ harbour entrance😉, and I have lots of good memories there. Cornwall in general is wonderful, mysterious and beautiful, but some places there are really special.

Highgate Angel that’s because of the history of the place, the legends of pirates and of course the legend of King Arthur, the mystery of wizards, I would question your comment about seeing a Piskie I hate to break the illusion but I don’t think they exist, but you want to believe in them then go ahead. I live in Cornwall in a lovely little village called St Buryan, close to Penzance, a wonderful place, with wonderful people.
The small brick building that juts into the sea on this video is the old Lifeboat station. I was in there, along with 11 other people, on a stained glass workshop when this footage was shot. It was very exciting, with the waves crashing up the side and the odd leak through the windows, but we were all perfectly safe. Huge thanks to the Porthleven coastguard who called in on us to make sure we were alright. He was responding to a report that we were trapped inside but was pleased to see that we were quietly working away on our “masterpieces”.

Why did you go to do stained glass in a building next to the shore during a named winter storm? Why not stay home that day. Sure it was an experience but if something had happened you would have just sucked up emergency services needed elsewhere. Well at least you got to work on your stained glass , and you have a story for the wine bar.
Beautiful filming. The light is fantastic... great work in keeping it all so clear. Bravo!

Great video @biscuitsalive showing this amazing footage of the true power of mother nature. I can only imagine how difficult it is to capture steady imagery while being battered by such high winds. Keep up the great work, but please be safe while doing so. Sending good thoughts from California!
Beautifully filmed, and for once appropriate music. Thank you.
The first few frames of the church would make a lovely painting. Nice video.

I agree *Cornwall* is so pretty, some of my favourite villages/ towns: St. Ives Mousehole Polperro Fowey Port Isaac Looe Padstow Falmouth (Town) Altarnun Liskeard Mevagissey Cadgwith Cove St Agnes Village Lostwithiel Helston Polruan Mullion Village Coverack Village Charlestown (Cornwall). But I would say my favourite county would have to be *Gloucestershire*, some of my favourites there: Gloucestershire: Stow-on-the-Wold Chipping Campden Winchcombe Bourton-on-the-Water Bibury Cirencester Moreton-in-Marsh Stanton Village Painswick Tetbury Wotton-under-Edge Upper Slaughter Lower Slaughter Snowshill Village Miserden Village Fairford Blockley Village Little Barrington Box Village Duntisbourne Thornbury North Cerney Chedworth Village Icomb Chipping Sodbury Stanway Village Barnsley Village South Cerney (not many pictures) Berkeley Broad Campden Daylesford Village Notgrove Slad Village Tewkesbury.

Seattle and the UK actually have similar climates, albeit Seattle sees a drying trend in the summer (whereas the UK generally does not). The Washington coast is even more similar climate-wise. Cornwall also seemed to be within the storm's "dry slot" for a period of time, that would explain the lack of clouds. Please see this satellite imagery after the storm became extratropical (Ophelia was originally a hurricane over warmer waters to the southwest): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ophelia_(2017)#/media/File:Ophelia_16_October_2017.png

I want storm Ophelia back, I loved how powerful it was in Ireland, a gust of nearly 200KPH (125 mph) was recorded in cork
Amazing power.
My gran lives there very blessed
Soundtrack is perfect.
This storm is just a baby, in 1989 the waves 🌊 were up to the top of the town clock, and the houses on bay view terrace were washed away. And the blocks of granite(20tonnes or more)were ripped out of the walls and washed right down the cobbled road...
Ayy I live right next to that clock tower and yeah, it was crazy. I could hear all of it from the house.

I have, and I recommend visiting Lizard village, Housel Bay with its lighthouse and Kennack Sands near Ruan Minor. (About 45 minutes drive from where I stayed on Lizard Point.) The place we stayed was directly above Housel Bay, next door to the Housel Bay Hotel. (If you ever go down there, look for a place called Morwen.) You really need to spend a minimum of 2 weeks if you go, because there's so much great stuff to see! (Oh yeah, and you'll need your own transport too! Some of the places are a bit spread out!) Good luck!
My Mum often talks about Porthleven from her youth. We also used to go there with her as children. There's something special about Cornwall. I guess it's in my genes 😊

Mauricio Murga Silva Santisteban I think I would have to be very bored to make a vid out of that. (Doesn't mean it won't happen XD) But I just use a blower, a lens pen (for sensor) and those disposable ziess lens wipes. (For lens) then a basic lens cloth for final pass. (Wet lens wipes leave a tiny bit of residue.) Plus I'm no expert. I may suggest something that a pro camera maintenance guy would frown at regarding sensor. Last tip. Obviously do all above using very bright light (I use head torch) And in a low dust low air move meant environ. (Close windows etc)

Hurricane Irma caused a lot of destruction down here. I hope Hurricane Ophelia didn't cause too much damage in the British Isles - I hope it didn't damage or destroy any beautiful historic buildings or landmarks.
