It is not uncommon to have grey cloudy days in Cornwall, or in England for that matter. On such days the cloud cover and the details within it are a part of the landscape. Unfortunately, the limitations of photography mean that if we are to show the landscape, the cloudscape is usually overexposed and becomes a field of white in the photograph. Here I have done just the opposite, exposed the photograph for the cloudscape and let the landscape disappear into black. This is a colour photograph, it has not been converted to black and white!
