Cornwall in December 2023

With an hour to spare before visiting my son, I decided to make the most of it with my trusty drone. The destination? Jubilee Pool in Penzance, a picturesque spot that promised both the beauty of the pool itself and the charm of the harbor beyond. Little did I know that this impromptu aerial adventure would gift me with more than just stunning shots.

As my drone soared into the sky above Jubilee Pool, I was greeted with a breathtaking panorama. The azure waters of the pool contrasted against the vibrant colors of the surrounding buildings and boats, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Shot after shot, I captured the unique blend of history and contemporary seaside allure that defines Penzance.

Shot 1: Jubilee Pool Elegance The pool, a historic gem, sparkled in the sunlight, inviting swimmers and sun-seekers alike. The symmetry of its design and the play of shadows on the water made for a captivating visual story.

Shot 2: Harbor Haven Shifting my focus beyond the pool, I directed the drone towards the harbor. The masts of sailboats stood tall against the backdrop of a clear sky, and the waterfront promenade bustled with life. The juxtaposition of nature and maritime activity unfolded before my lens.

Shot 3: Coastal Contrasts Zooming out, I captured the coastal contrasts that define Penzance. The rugged cliffs met the calm sea, and the town’s architecture nestled harmoniously between the natural landscape and the expansive water expanse.

Shot 4: A Seaside Symphony Jubilee Pool and the harbor became a canvas for a seaside symphony. The rhythmic movement of waves, the vibrant hues of boats, and the laughter of people echoed in each frame, encapsulating the vibrant spirit of the coastal town.

Shot 5: Sunset Serenity As the golden hour approached, I couldn’t resist capturing the serene beauty of Penzance bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. The tranquil waters of Jubilee Pool reflected the fading light, creating a poetic end to this drone expedition.


Unexpected Beauty: A Woodland Pause

On my way back from the coastal wonders, I noticed a patch of woodland near the A30. Intrigued by the contrasting landscape, I made an impromptu stop. Elevating the drone above the trees, I was met with a view that added an unexpected chapter to my visual narrative. The intricate patterns of the woodland, bathed in the soft glow of the late afternoon, created a striking contrast to the coastal scenes captured earlier.

Notable art deco architecture from 1935 gives this open air lido right on the beach an exotic feel.
