The Land of Fairie by swillinbillyflynn

The Land of Fairie

There are places here in Cornwall where you would not be the least bit surprised to meet fairies and Cornish piskies flitting back and forth through the air or scurrying about in the undergrowth.

This is one of those places. Menacuddle is home to a holly well which you can see in the background. It sits on the banks of this river amongst ancient trees. It really is the most magical of places. In fact the building in the background was where I took yesterdays shot from so this is what was outside that tiny window. :)

I spent some time experimenting with long exposures to get this shot just right, which is why you can't see any fairies in the shot. I'm afraid they flew past to quickly to be captured on a 13 second exposure shot.

But I promise you, there were several of them there.
Lovely shot! Shame about the fairies, but I will look for them when you speed up your shutter speed ;-)

Gorgeously captured fairyland! And yes, I'm sure they're here too.

Hmm, I know what you are up to, hoping that a pincer movement might get me to reveal who and when, since you already know where - won't work ;-)

fabulous place though.

Fairies do not like to be photographed and will become invisible if you try anyway
Great shot
